中國最流行的網絡語錄：十年人生“杯洗具”
在即將揮別過去十年之際，試問中國最流行的網絡語錄是哪一句？相信很多人都會提到“人生就是一個杯子，而它是“杯具”還是“洗具”，全由你自己選擇。”
what are china's most popular online slang terms as we approach the end of the decade? one popular choice could be “life is a cup, it's up to you to decide whether it's a drinking cup or a toothbrush cup.
“杯具”是中文中“悲劇”一詞的諧音，而與“喜劇”相對應的則是“洗具”。80后及90后的聊天記錄中也出現了各式各樣的，關于“杯具，洗具”的討論。但在走紅背后，卻蘊含著嚴肅的思考。
drinking cup (beiju) is a homophone for “tragedy” in chinese, while toothbrush cup (xiju) is homophone for “comedy”. there's a whole range of beiju vs xiju debates running across the post-80s and post-90s' online talk. in the background, however, lurks something that's far less funny.
