【英音模仿秀】今天，你嚼舌根了吗？

模仿文本：

A constant flow of gossip normalizes nastiness. A generation has grown up being shown forcefully and repeatedly that verbal abuse and personal comments are the jolly, bantering¹ norm. Online insults and the calculated use of sexual gossip to attack women can become more acceptable.

译文：

流言蜚语的持续使得恶语俗言平常化。当前一代在成长过程中，被强行反复地灌输这样一个概念——言语攻击和蜚短流长只是愉快的玩笑和戏谑的常态。网上抹黑以及针对女性私生活刻意传播谣言变成了可以接受的行为。
