Farmers have always needed it: spread on fields it feeds the soil, and then people often say manure, which sounds cleaner. Dung is the blunter word, the one that still smells a bit on the page. Children say poo; doctors say faeces; a farm still says dung.

Farmers農夫 have always needed it一直都需要它，spread on fields灑在田裡 it feeds the soil就能滋養土壤，and then這時候 people人們 often say常說 manure糞肥，which sounds cleaner聽起來比較乾淨。Dung這個字 is是 the blunter word比較直白的用詞，the one that still smells a bit on the page那個看在紙上都還帶點味道的字。Children小孩 say poo會說poo（便便）；doctors醫生 say faeces會說faeces（醫學用語的糞便）；a farm農場 still says dung還是會說dung。

You will meet dung heap, dung beetle (a beetle that rolls a ball of it), and a verb, to dung a field, meaning to spread it. It is not a swear word, but it is not polite dinner talk either.

You你 will meet會遇到 dung heap糞堆、dung beetle糞金龜（a beetle that rolls a ball of it會滾糞球的甲蟲）, and a verb還有一個動詞, to dung a field把糞灑在田裡, meaning to spread it意思是把它灑開。It它 is not a swear word不是髒話, but it is not polite dinner talk either但也不是適合餐桌上的客氣話。

Though actually, English already had this word a very long time ago; a French word for the same thing once sat beside it and then lost. The idea is ordinary and old, not rude by nature — only the nose makes us shy.

Though actually不過其實, English英文 already had this word a very long time ago很久以前就已經有這個字了；a French word for the same thing一個意思相同的法文字 once sat beside it曾經跟它並存過, and then lost後來被淘汰了。The idea這個概念 is ordinary and old本身既平常又古老, not rude by nature本質上並不粗俗——only the nose只是鼻子（的感受） makes us shy讓我們覺得不好意思。
