When English speakers need to talk about a very rude word that starts with C, they often say "the C-word" instead of saying the word itself. The word they mean is a name for a woman's sex organ, also used as a hard insult toward a person. The trick is the same as "the F-word": the letter tells you which bad word they mean, without putting that word on the page or in the room.

When English speakers當英語使用者 need to talk about需要談到 starts with C一個 C 開頭 a very rude word的非常粗俗的字時，they often say他們常說 "the C-word"，instead of saying而不是說出 the word itself那個字本身。they mean他們指的 The word那個字 is a name for是 a woman's sex organ女性性器官的名稱，also也 used as被拿來當 toward a person對人 a hard insult很重的辱罵。The trick這個做法 is the same as和 "the F-word" 一樣：the letter那個字母 tells you告訴你 they mean他們指的 which bad word是哪個髒字，without卻不必 putting that word把那個字 on the page寫在紙上 or in the room或說出現場。

You will see it in newspapers, in school, and in careful talk, because the real word is one of the strongest swear words in English — in British English it is especially heavy, and many people will not say it at all.

in newspapers在報紙、in school學校 and in careful talk和謹慎的談話裡 You will see it你都會看到它，because因為 the real word真正那個字 is是 in English英語裡 one of the strongest swear words最重的髒話之一——in British English在英式英語裡 it它 is especially heavy特別重，and many people很多人 will not say it at all完全不肯說它。

Though actually, some people now use the real word more loosely among friends; that does not make "the C-word" a polite thing to joke about in class. It is still a way of pointing at something most rooms do not want said out loud.

Though actually不過其實，some people有些人 now現在 among friends在朋友之間 use用 the real word真正那個字 more loosely用得比較隨便；that does not make但這不表示 "the C-word" in class在課堂上 a polite thing to joke about就成了可以開玩笑的客氣話題。It它 is still仍然是 pointing at用來指 most rooms do not want said out loud多數場合都不希望被大聲說出口的 something東西 a way of的一種方式。
