逗比這個詞火了可有一段時間，年輕人喜歡用，郭德綱還在相聲中調(diào)侃道“你是猴子請來的逗比嗎”，這么深入人心的詞可要跨越國界才好，就讓我們來學學它的英文dobe（逗比）。

Dobe is the Japanese slang word for “idiot”. Chinese youngsters use it to refer to a ridiculous person who is a stranger, or a funny one who is a friend.

“逗比”是日語里用來形容笨蛋的俚語。中國的年輕人用它來形容那些荒唐的陌生人或好笑的朋友。

We can comprehend this composite word as a funny 2B. Simply put, it means someone is funny, a little silly and cute. With its widespread use, more and more people consider it a neutral word. If we use it to describe a stranger, we are more talking of a stupid stranger. If it alludes to a friend, then it is used to mock and make fun of the friend.

根據(jù)合成詞原則可以理解為：挺逗的二比。簡單的說，就是說某個人很逗，有點犯二犯傻，有點可愛。隨著它的使用范圍逐步擴大，越來越多人將它用作中性詞。如果對陌生人說，指別人是傻叉的意思多一點。如果是好朋友之間說，那就是調(diào)侃和玩笑的意思多一點！

Example:

He’s such a dobe. He used the dice to decide his answers in the multiple choice questions.

他就是個逗比。他用骰子決定多選題答案。
