profanity 的詞源
profanity(n.)
大約1600年,“褻瀆,褻瀆的品質,褻瀆的語言或行爲”,源自晚期拉丁語 profanitas “褻瀆”,源自拉丁語 profanus(參見 profane(形容詞))。“污言穢語”的引申意義來自於舊約聖經中“不可褻瀆上帝的名”的命令。在19世紀之前,這似乎是一個罕見的詞。
Blasphemy, Profanity, agree in expressing the irreverent use of words, but the former is the stronger, and the latter the wider. Profanity is language irreverent toward God or holy things, covering especially all oaths that, literally interpreted, treat lightly the attributes or acts of God. Blasphemy is generally more direct, intentional, and defiant in its impiety, and is directed toward the most sacred things in religion. [Century Dictionary, 1895]
Blasphemy, Profanity,在表達不敬的用詞方面是一致的,但前者更強烈,後者更廣泛。Profanity 是指對上帝或聖物不敬的語言,尤其涵蓋了所有的誓言,如果按照字面意思解釋,會輕視上帝的屬性或行爲。Blasphemy 通常更直接、故意和挑釁性,是針對宗教中最神聖的事物的。[世紀詞典,1895]
