"jing" in Chinese (Simplified)

• 天哪！

Definition

苏格兰英语中的感叹词，表示惊讶或强调，类似于 'gosh' 或 'gee'。是一种温和的委婉语，用来代替更强烈的脏话。主要在苏格兰使用。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Simplified))

明显的苏格兰用语——在苏格兰以外很少听到。经常延伸为 'jings' 或组合为 'jings, crivvens!' 在老式苏格兰口语和漫画中常见（如 Oor Wullie, The Broons）。相当于英语的 'gosh'、'gee' 或 'crikey'。非常温和——在任何场合都安全。非苏格兰人可能完全不认识。
