请问什么叫name calling

雲吞

字典上说，name calling的一个主要的含义是verbal abuse

但不明白为什么叫name calling

给别人起带有污辱性的绰号叫做Name Calling。

简单的说是骂人吗

三思

就是起外号，比如小四眼啥的。名词，表示这个行为。

著名圣诞歌曲红鼻子驯鹿鲁道夫，就是典型的name calling. 歌词中有一句“Used to laugh and call him names” 就是起外号的动词形式，注意，叫谁的名字是call sb's name, 但是call sb names就是起外号了。

btw,这是我最喜欢的一首圣诞歌曲，我觉得all of the other reindeer赤裸裸的势利眼形象太可爱了！
