“Dildo”这个词是什么意思?

What Does The Word ‘Dildo’ Mean?

Dildo很古老。实际上是史前的。我们拥有的最佳例子是用现在德国南部的蓝石雕刻而成的。雕刻细节亲密且抛光光滑,年代约为3.2万年前。Dildo比金属的发明还要古老,比动物的驯化还要早,甚至比农业还要早。


奇怪的是,似乎没人确切知道“dildo”这个词的来源。(更奇怪的是,那些不断挖掘出古代dildo的考古学家们,为了礼貌和羞涩,称它们为“冰河时代的棒子”,即使它们显然就是dildo。)


那么,让我们穿越词源的时光,探究一个简单的问题:“dildo”这个词从哪里来?当然,纯属教育目的。

 



 

Dildo:一个性感的阳具之谜

 

“dildo”一词的起源和它所描述的物品一样难以捉摸。我们将从它进入英语历史记录的地方开始探寻。


我们所拥有的关于“dildo”一词最早的书面记录来自托马斯·纳什,他是一位特别放荡的伊丽莎白时代剧作家,也是莎士比亚的同时代人——实际上是亲戚。纳什娶了莎士比亚的孙女。《情人节的选择》是一首讽刺诗,俗称《纳什的Dildo欢快歌谣》。


在这出戏中,一名男性角色送给他的爱人一个“dilldo”,以弥补自己糟糕的性表现和早泄。这首诗被认为淫秽而被禁,这自然使它更受欢迎,甚至可能单凭这点推动了“dildo”一词的流行。



但正如莎士比亚擅长捕捉口语并做出观众能理解的微妙性暗示一样,我们可以假设“dildo”这个词在被写下来之前,早已在普通话语中流传。例如,英语中已有“dillidon”一词,类似于“亲爱的”这样的小名,其词源可以追溯到更早的古诺尔斯语,其中“dilla”意为“安抚”。



Dildo的全球传播



从纳什对dildo的使用开始,这个词在全球范围内流行开来,甚至取代了其他语言中本土的dildo词汇。你可能会在现代希腊语中找到olisbos的提及,或在法语中找到godemiche,但总体来说,大多数欧洲和西亚语言今天都使用“dildo”。


随着时间的推移,“dildo”这个词的含义超出了它最著名的意思。在一些19世纪的著作中,“dildo”扩展为指任何假的或人为制造的东西。例如,稻草人也会被称为dildo。这是我写过的最奇怪的句子。这个词甚至适用于概念性和无形的想法。在英国政治中,一项旨在分散注意力或误导的政策,至少在私下里,可能会被称为dildo。


到了18世纪,这个词已经足够普遍,以至于被用来命名那些形状类似dildo的无害物品。我们曾有dildo梨和dildo仙人掌。后来更保守的态度占了上风,这些名称也随之消失了。


其他关于Dildo的理论


虽然我们Svakom团队相当自信,“dildo”一词的起源最终可以追溯到古诺尔斯语中的一种昵称,类似于“darling”,但还有许多其他理论,甚至《牛津英语词典》也对这一理论提出异议。
《牛津英语词典》2018年关于“dildo”一词起源的决定并不令人满意。它指出,dildo一词“起源于早期现代流行民谣中常见的无意义音节,如‘hey diddle-diddle’”。


那当然是胡说八道,人们感觉《牛津英语词典》在谨慎保留立场,故意甚至可疑地模糊其词。


那么让我们看看其他几个关于dildo的潜在理论:


  • 来自意大利语:一些随意的观察者将“dildo”与意大利语单词“diletto”(意为“愉悦”)联系起来。在中世纪意大利有一些证据支持这一点,有些著作用类似于当时英语的委婉语来描述性。

  • 来自海洋:“Dilding”是16世纪的航海术语,意为在水面“上下晃动”。但鉴于早期现代水手的本性,人们不禁怀疑他们可能是受到了已有的性俚语的影响,而不是反过来。


  • 来自法语:法语对英语的形成有影响,单词“dilater”今天的意思与当时相差无几:扩张某物。考虑到语境,这似乎很合适,但看起来不太可能是真的。


结论



性俚语在“严肃”的语言学研究中悲惨地被忽视。学者们太有礼貌,不愿投入时间和资源去研究像dildo这样的词的词源,因此这个问题可能永远无法得到绝对确定的答案。

这真是太遗憾了,因为我们关于性和亲密关系的交流方式极其细腻且独特,从性语言的研究中可以获得真正有价值的见解。它总是比我们预期的更有趣、更具启发性。

例如,那个我们连自己都觉得太礼貌而不敢在这里说出的C字词,实际上与“queen”(女王)一词直接相关。这感觉很重要,对吧?

总结今天的内容,虽然《牛津英语词典》有所保留,我们替他们说吧:“dildo”很可能来源于一个古诺尔斯语单词,意思是“安抚”或“使平静”。
