喜樂美語

核心畫面

One way to hold this word is to notice that almost none of its uses are about its meaning. The plain sense is sex, said in the crudest way English has. Everything else runs on what saying that out loud does to a room: it is the loudest button in the language. So the word gets pressed for anger, for shock, for cutting someone off, and for turning a normal question into a furious one. When you meet it, the useful question is usually not what does it mean here, but how much force is being applied.

可以想成這個字的重點，多半不在它的意思。它最實在的意思是性行為，而且是英文裡最粗的講法。其他所有用法靠的都是另一件事…更多收起可以想成這個字的重點，多半不在它的意思。它最實在的意思是性行為，而且是英文裡最粗的講法。其他所有用法靠的都是另一件事：把這個字說出口，整個空間的溫度會變。它是英文裡聲音最大的那顆按鈕。所以生氣時按它、嚇到時按它、要跟人斷乾淨時按它，連把一句普通的問句變成怒吼也按它。讀到它的時候，比較有用的問題通常不是「這裡是什麼意思」，而是「這裡用了多大的力」。

From the word’s history

The source traces the word to Middle English fukken, probably Germanic, from a root meaning to strike or stab. The source itself says probably, so this is a likely line and not a settled fact.

來源記錄把這個字追到中古英文 fukken，推測是日耳曼語系來的，更早的字根有「打、刺」的意思。來源自己用的是 probably，所以這是一條可能的線索，不是定論。

Wiktionary, entry for fuck (etymology supplied in this packet): From Middle English *fukken, probably of Germanic origin ... from Proto-Indo-European *pewǵ- (to strike, punch, stab). Marked probable by the source.
