Crappy is a rough, everyday way to say that something is very bad — a film, a phone, the weather, a job, even how you feel. It is not a careful word.
Crappy是 is a rough, everyday way一種粗略、口語的說法 to say用來說 that something is very bad某樣東西很糟 — a film電影, a phone手機, the weather天氣, a job工作, even甚至是 how you feel你的感覺都可以。It它 is not a careful word這不是一個講究的字。
People say it when they are or when they do not care about sounding polite. It sits on the rude side of informal: fine with friends, not fine in a school essay, a job interview, or when you are speaking to someone you should show respect to.
People有人 say it會這樣說 when they are annoyed當他們不爽的時候 or或 when they do not care about sounding polite不在乎聽起來禮不禮貌的時候。It它 sits on算是 the rude side of informal口語裡比較粗魯的那一邊: fine with friends跟朋友講沒問題, not fine不適合 in a school essay在學校作文裡, a job interview面試裡, or或 when you are speaking to someone you should show respect to跟你該尊敬的人講話時。
The bite comes from crap, which people already use for rubbish and, more crudely, for waste from the body. Add -y and you get “like that / full of that.” In real talk the strength slides around.
The bite這個字的刺 comes from來自 crap「crap大便/垃圾」, which因為 people already use大家已經用它 for rubbish指垃圾 and而且, more crudely更粗俗地, for waste from the body指身體排出的廢物。Add -y加上-y and就 you get變成 “like that / full of that.”「像那樣/充滿那個」。In real talk在實際口語中 the strength它的強度 slides around會滑動變化。
Sometimes crappy means truly awful. Sometimes it only means “not great,” the way someone might call a cheap meal crappy without meaning it is disgusting.
Sometimes有時候 crappy指的是 means truly awful真的很糟糕。Sometimes有時候 it它 only means只是意味著 “not great,”「不怎麼樣」, the way就像 someone可能有人 might call會說 a cheap meal一頓便宜的餐 crappy很crappy without meaning it is disgusting但不是說它噁心。
American English uses it a lot; other kinds of English use it too, just a bit less in careful speech. Older people, and people who dislike swearing, may find it uglier than younger speakers do.
American English美式英文 uses it a lot很常用它; other kinds of English其他英文 use it too也會用, just a bit less只是少一點 in careful speech在講究的場合。Older people年紀較大的人, and而 people who dislike swearing不喜歡罵髒話的人, may find it uglier可能會覺得它更難聽 than younger speakers do比年輕的說話者。
It describes things and situations more often than people. Calling a person crappy happens, but it sounds like a slap.
It它 describes things and situations比較常用來形容事情和情況 more often than people而不是人。Calling a person叫一個人 crappy是crappy happens確實會發生, but but it it sounds like a slap聽起來像一巴掌。
組成crap + -y. The -y ending turns the noun into an adjective, “like that / full of that.” Crap itself comes up through Middle English crappe and older French (and related) words for leftover husks and waste; only later did it become the rough everyday word it is now.
