People who frequently swear are more likely to have abigger vocabulary than their clean-tongued peers, research revealed.

研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，經(jīng)常說臟話的人要比說話文明的同齡人擁有更大的詞匯量。

A colourful tongue does not mean the talker is lazy or uneducated, a study published in theLanguage Sciences journal found.

一項(xiàng)發(fā)表在《語言科學(xué)》雜志上的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，一個(gè)人油嘴滑舌，并不意味著這個(gè)人很懶或者沒受過教育。

Instead, those who are more confident using taboo words are more articulate in other areas.

相反，那些敢說禁忌詞匯的人，在其他領(lǐng)域也更善于表達(dá)自己。

The experiment asked participants to say as many swear words as they could think of in 60seconds.

這項(xiàng)試驗(yàn)要求參與者在一分鐘內(nèi)盡可能多地說出他們能想到的臟話。

They were then asked to do the same with animals.

隨后，參與者又被要求在一分鐘內(nèi)盡可能多地說出他們能想到的動物名字。

Those who knew the most swear words were more likely to name the most animals as well, theresearch found.

結(jié)果顯示，知道更多臟話的人也能叫出更多動物的名字。

Kristin and Timothy Jay, the US-based psychologists who co-wrote the study, said it provedswearing was positively correlated with verbal fluency.

兩位共同撰寫這份研究報(bào)告的美國心理學(xué)家——克里斯汀·杰伊和蒂莫西·杰伊表示：這項(xiàng)試驗(yàn)表明說臟話能力和口語流暢度呈正相關(guān)。

They added that those who used taboo words were able to make nuanced distinctions andcould use language expressively.

他們補(bǔ)充道，那些擅用禁忌詞匯的人更易分辨出用語的細(xì)微差別，因而在語言表達(dá)上也更富有表現(xiàn)力。

They wrote: 'We cannot help but judge others on the basis of their speech.

他們寫道：“我們免不了會根據(jù)人們的說話方式來判斷一個(gè)人。

'Unfortunately, when it comes to taboo language, it is a common assumption that people whoswear frequently are lazy, do not have an adequate vocabulary, lack education, or simplycannot control themselves.'

“不幸的是，在說臟話這點(diǎn)上，人們通常的看法就是，愛說臟話的人很懶，知道的詞匯量少，缺少教育，或者自控力差。”

In their conclusion, they added: 'The overall finding of this set of studies, that taboo fluencyis positively correlated with other measures of verbal fluency, undermines the [normal] view ofswearing.

在結(jié)論中，他們補(bǔ)充道：“總體來看，這項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，使用禁忌語的流利度與使用其他口語的流利度呈正相關(guān)，打破了人們對說臟話者的慣?？捶ā?/p>

'Speakers who use taboo words understand their general expressive content as well asnuanced distinctions that must be drawn to use slurs appropriately.

“擅說臟話的人知道他們想要表達(dá)什么，也能夠區(qū)分用語的細(xì)微差別，因而能更‘恰當(dāng)’的使用臟話。

'The ability to make nuanced distinctions indicates the presence of more rather than lesslinguistic knowledge.'

“能區(qū)分細(xì)微差別的能力，顯示了說話人擁有更多而不是更少的語言知識。”

Forty-nine participants aged between 18 and 22 were used in the experiment.

該試驗(yàn)有49名參與者，年齡在18到22歲之間。
