一犯讳,不问有心与无心,阿Q便全疤通红的发起怒来,估量了对手,口讷的他便骂,气力小的他便打;然而不知怎么一回事,总还是阿Q吃亏的时候多。
> Whether it was intentional or not, if anyone should violate this taboo, Ah Q would seethe with anger until every last one of his scabies scars would flush its deepest red. Then he would size up his opponent: if it happened to be someone who stuttered so badly that he couldn't get the second word out after the first, Ah Q would curse him up one side and down the other; if it was someone so puny and weak that he could hardly stand, Ah Q would start a fight. And yet, strange to tell, in all such encounters Ah Q somehow still managed to come out the loser more often than not. (Lyell)
> Whenever this taboo was disregarded, whether intentionally or not, Ah Q would fly into a rage, his ringworm scars turning scarlet. He would look over the offender, and if it were someone weak in repartee he would curse him, while if it were a poor fighter he would hit him. #3Yet, curiously enough, it was usually Ah Q who was worsted in these encounters, (Yangs)
> Any flaunting of the taboo - whether deliberate or accidental - provoked first the controversial scars to glow a furious red. Ah-Q would then size up his adversary: the dull-witted he would subject to a tongue-lashing; the weak he would punch in the nose. The curious thing, though, was how often -in fact, almost always - Ah-Q came off worse. (Lovell)
鲁迅《阿Q正传》

刘泰保若有所感他说道:“前些日子住在店里的那位仇大哥,我看就是条好汉,你爹也看出了他是个非凡的人物,他性情又十分豪爽重义。可惜他已经走了,要不,我们去求他相助,他定会慨然应允的。”
蔡幺妹点头附和道:“爹生前曾多次背后向我说起过那位仇大哥,说他有如一只卧虎,是个真正的英雄好汉,只是不明他的来路。爹还一再告诫我休去探他身世,说这是‘犯讳 ’的。要是他还在店里,我就去求他。”
聂云岚《玉娇龙》

有了上海的租界,——那时叫作“洋场”,也叫“夷场”,后来有怕犯讳 的,便往往写作“彝场”——有些才子们便跑到上海来,因为才子是旷达的,那里都去;君子则对于外国人的东西总有点厌恶,而且正在想求正路的功名,所以决不轻易的乱跑。
鲁迅《上海文艺之一瞥》

秦始皇名政,秦人连“正”字都要避讳,正月是改称“端月”。他们却用了“匡正”这个动词,故意来犯讳 ,表示是秦始皇自己的口气,使扶苏和蒙恬不得怀疑。
郭沫若《秦始皇将死》
