Effing is a rude word people throw in when they are angry, to make the feeling hit harder, without saying the stronger swear that starts with F. You will hear it in front of a thing (that effing door will not open) and in front of how something feels (I am so effing tired).

EffingEffing is a rude word是一個粗魯的字，people throw in when they are angry人們生氣時會加進去，to make the feeling hit harder讓那種情緒更有力道，without saying the stronger swear that starts with F但不用說出那個更重、F 開頭的髒話。You will hear it你會聽到它 in front of a thing放在一個東西前面（that effing door will not openthat effing door will not open），and而且 in front of how something feels放在描述感覺的字前面（I am so effing tiredI am so effing tired）。

It is not a clean word. It is still a swear, just half-covered: speakers say the letter F, or write “effing,” so the full word is not quite in the room. Some people feel a little safer doing that; some people feel it is the same punch with a thin cloth over it.

It is not a clean word它不是一個乾淨的字。It is still a swear它仍然是一句髒話，just half-covered只是被遮了一半：speakers say the letter F說話的人只說 F 這個字母，or write 'effing'或寫成「effing」，so所以 the full word is not quite in the room完整的那個字其實沒有真的出現。Some people feel a little safer doing that有些人這樣做會覺得比較安全一點；some people feel it is the same punch with a thin cloth over it也有人覺得這就像同一拳，只是外面蓋了一層薄布。

You will meet it in films, in angry talk, and in writing that wants to show heat but stay just this side of the worst word.

You will meet it你會在…遇到它：in films, in angry talk, and in writing that wants to show heat but stay just this side of the worst word電影裡、生氣的談話裡，還有想表現火氣卻又不想真的用上最重那個字的文字裡。

Though actually, it does not make the anger smaller. If someone says “effing,” they are usually as cross as if they had said the other word.

Though actually不過其實，it does not make the anger smaller它不會讓怒氣變小。If someone says 'effing'如果有人說「effing」，they are usually as cross as if they had said the other word他們通常跟講出另一個字時一樣生氣。

In British talk you may also hear “effing and blinding,” meaning swearing a lot. This is not a classroom word, not a grandparent word, and not a job-interview word.

In British talk在英式口語裡，you may also hear 'effing and blinding'你也可能聽到「effing and blinding」，meaning swearing a lot意思是罵很多髒話。This is not a classroom word這不是課堂用字，not a grandparent word不是跟阿公阿嬤講話會用的字，and而且 not a job-interview word也不是面試時會用的字。
