原文：

It has become a familiar story in a world 1.（密集）live mics. A public figure is caught out using a vulgarity, and the media have to decide how to report the remark. Web media tend to be 2.（直率的）, but the traditional media are more circumspect.

Take the vulgar epithet that George W. Bush was overheard using to describe a New York Times reporter during the 2000 presidential campaign. Some newspapers printed it with dashes or asterisks. Others said it was a word that rhymed with "casserole" or "glass bowl." And The New York Times itself described the word as an obscenity, which made it sound worse than it was.

It's easy to 3.（戲謔）that coyness. Concealing the letters of a word with asterisks is the orthographic equivalent of covering them with pasties and a G-string —they manage to make it look both less shocking and more salacious.

The editors make a much better argument when they insist that the paper should stand for civility in public 1.(演說、講述). There's a lot to be said for honoring the collective sanctimony that forbids the use of these words in public life. It's in everybody's interest to be a little hypocritical about the words, if only to preserve their impact. 2.（罵人）words couldn't convey strong emotion if we weren't flouting a taboo every time we say them.

When you 2.（罵人）, the words are bleached of their sexual or anatomical meanings, and swearing in private isn't considered a serious social transgression. If it were, we'd come up with a stronger 3.（譴責）for it than the infantile "potty mouth."

譯文參考：

大家都知道，全世界都充滿了現場直播的話筒。如果一個公衆人物飆髒話被抓個現行，各個媒體不得不決定如何進行報道。網絡媒體乾脆直白，傳統媒體則更爲慎重。

比如喬治布什在2000年大選期間，隱約聽到他用髒話形容《紐約時報》的記者。一些報紙用破折號或星號代替，其他媒體報道說這個字與“鍋巴”或“騎馬”押韻（本句爲意譯）。《紐約時報》直接說這個詞無恥下流，讓人認爲情況更糟糕。

戲謔這種忸怩作態很簡單，一個單詞裏面有幾個字母用星號代替，等於是用乳貼或丁字褲當遮羞布——沒那麼辣眼睛，但也夠猥瑣。

編輯們提出的觀點有理有據。在公衆演說裏，報紙應該維持端莊的形象。很多人說的話都是維持集體表面的和睦，禁止當衆使用這些字眼。只要能保留髒話的影響力，每個人爲了自己着想，都會有點虛僞。如果每次罵人都不刻薄一下無聊的禁忌，罵人的話就不能傳達強烈的情感。

罵人的時候，這些字眼已經撇開了性別和解剖學的含義，私底下罵人也不會危害社會。如果真的有危害，我們就要強烈譴責這種行爲，而不是無力地反駁“嘴裏吃了屎”。
