“庸俗”、“低俗”、“媚俗” 译成 “debased,” “debauched,” 和 “déclassé” 如何?
Alternatively:
- Coarse, crude, and crass
- Low-brow, low-down, and low-class
- Skeezy, sleazy, and cheesy
- Rude, lewd, and crude
- Tacky, tawdry, and tasteless
- Uncouth, unchaste, and unctuous
- Inelegant, indecent, and insipid
我再建议把 ”反三俗“ 译成 “The War on Fun.”
庸俗用philistinism如何？

“déclassé” doesn’t sound 媚俗, “cheesy” sounds better.

August 14th, 2010, at 2:02 am #Yes; the distinction between the three has been tricky. My understanding, in English terms, is that 庸俗 equates more or less to “low-brow” as a basic state; that 低俗 equates to “debauching,” as in something that effects a lower state in the viewer; and that 媚俗 equates to “pandering to the lowest common denominator.”
This took a lot of asking and explaining, though, and the entire campaign seems to be poorly defined and basically stupid to begin with. 媚俗, after all, is what American foreign power is based on. If only Chinese media could produce 媚俗 entertainment, maybe they would have a shot at being taken seriously in the international market.

同样的，the alliterated “tacky, tawdry, tasteless” 感觉 “媚俗”的意思没出来。
我个人的翻译，仅供参考：

“cheap, cheesy, kitschy”
”反三俗“ 译成 “The War on Fun.”实在是言简意赅，哈哈，群众就喜欢fun。
