做为一个俗语,“乌龟”的含意有两个方面。其一是指纵其妻女有淫行者,其二是指开设妓院之男子。随着娼妓制度的被取缔,俗语“乌龟”只保留了第一方面的含义,而且是专指妻子有外遇之男女,而其第二方面的含义则逐渐消失了。本文谨就俗语“乌龟”的语源及其所产生的时代两个问题来谈一谈自己的看法,以期就正于方家。 As a saying, the meaning of “turtle” has two aspects. One refers to the wife and the woman who have sexual intercourse, and the other refers to the man who opens a brothel. As the prostitution system was banned, the old saying “turtle” retained only the first aspect, and specifically meant that the wife had an affair with both men and women, while the meaning of the second aspect gradually vanished. This article would like to talk about his own opinion about the source of the saying “tortoise” and the two times it was born.
