Swearing may be funny on TV but it's often not so funny in real life.

One way to stop is through using a"swear jar".

Put in a set amount of money every timeyou swear when you shouldn't, and make it enough to hurt.

 

每次不该骂人却那样做了的时候，就往脏话罐里放一定数额的钱，并使这个金额足够让你苦恼。

 

Decide what you're going to do with the money, and make it something that's not fun, like putting it into your retirement¹ account or paying off a debt.

 

拿定主意要如何处理这些钱，并将其制定得不那么好玩，比如把它放进你的退休金账户里或用来还债。
