俚语(lǐyǔ),是指民间非正式、较口语语句,是百姓在日常生活中总结出来的通俗易懂顺口的具有地方色彩的词语。地域性强,较生活化。俚语是一种非正式的语言,通常用在非正式的场合。有时俚语用以表达新鲜事物,或对旧事物赋以新的说法。

《新五代史·卷三十二·死节传·王彦章传》中记载,“彦章武人不知书,常为俚语谓人曰:豹死留皮,人死留名!”俚语亦作里语、俚言。外语中俚语:slang; slang expression 指的是粗俗的口语,常带有方言性。

特点

大多数亚文化群喜欢从其常接触的语言吸取词汇,赋予新义,有些则借自外语,很少自行构词的。因之俚语的形成,一如其他词汇的变形、换义,采用隐喻、明喻、民间词源、语音改变、语义扩大、缩小语义、截短法、缩略词、褒义化、贬义化、转喻、提喻、夸张、外来语及为防禁忌而使用委婉(特殊)说法等。每一种俚语都有其自身的历史和流行的原因,时过境迁,或改变其义,或转为标准语,或继续用于某些飞地。某些俚语去掉其富于刺激性的色彩之后,亦为人们所接受。俚语的流通率无疑因新闻宣传而不胫而走。有些俚语引进新概念,有些则提供新的表达方式,新颖辛辣甚至耸人听闻。扭转语音、颠倒字母顺序而成黑话,或以音、形并用组成韵语。但大多数俚语以形象的谬误为其基础,常以新词用于现成的概念。最有效的俚语往往一语概括所指之物、用物之人及其社会背景。俚语已成为幽默大师及新闻记者所必需的工具,运用得当,可使语言别开生面,推陈出新。语言学家及其他社会科学家因俚语可以反映文化概况而详加研究。

英语俚语

简介

英语俚语是一种非正式的语言,通常用在非正式的场合,所以在用这些俚语是一定要考虑到所用的场合和对象,最好不要随意用这些俚语。俚语因为是不正式语言,所以翻译成中文时不能够直接按字面意思翻译,不然句子翻译出来意思会很好笑。

解释

俚语就是美国人或英国人生活里常用的语言,和大家学校里学的英语很不一样。其实中文里也有很多俚语如:哇塞、当了、不靠谱、绝倒、纯爷们儿,这类的语言都是学校里不会教的,因为他们不够正式。

俚语是学校里不教的“非正式”语言。

俚语可以让说话变得更“生动”更“流利”。俚语比喻一般比较“夸张”,所以很适合用来表达自己的心情和想法。

俚语因为比较夸张,可以让你的语言变得更“生动”、“流利”。
