    Fricking is a slightly rude word people push into a sentence when they want to sound strong, angry, or very surprised — “the fricking door won’t open.” It does the same job as the heavy swear word fucking, but speakers change the middle so it sounds a little softer. It is still not polite.

    Frickingfricking is a slightly rude word是一個有點粗魯的字 people push into a sentence人們會把它塞進句子裡 when they want to sound strong, angry, or very surprised想聽起來強烈、生氣,或是非常驚訝的時候 — "the fricking door won't open."——像「the fricking door won't open這該死的門打不開」。 It does the same job as the heavy swear word fucking它的作用跟很重的髒話fucking一樣, but speakers change the middle只是說話的人把中間的音改掉 so it sounds a little softer讓它聽起來柔和一點。 It is still not polite它還是不算有禮貌。

    You will hear it in informal American talk, and on TV that wants to sound rough without using the full swear. Formal writing, school, and careful older speakers will not use it.

    You will hear it in informal American talk你會在美國的非正式談話裡聽到它, and on TV that wants to sound rough without using the full swear,也會在想聽起來粗獷、但又不想講完整髒話的電視節目裡聽到。 Formal writing, school, and careful older speakers正式寫作、學校,還有講話講究的長輩 will not use it不會用它。

    You will also hear frickin’, with the g dropped; in speech it is the same word. People use it like a loud “very,” not like a dictionary meaning of its own.

    You will also hear frickin', with the g dropped你也會聽到frickin',把g省略掉; in speech it is the same word;在口說裡這是同一個字。 People use it like a loud "very,"人們用它就像用一個很大聲的「very」 not like a dictionary meaning of its own不是像字典裡有自己意思的字。
