- A low-life (or lowlife) is a term for a person who is considered morally unacceptable by their community. Examples of people society often labels low-lives include aggressive panhandlers, bullies, criminals, drug dealers, freeloaders, hobos, gangsters, people who make constant use of profanities, prostitutes, pimps, scammers, sexual abusers, substance abusers, and thieves. Often, the term is used as an indication of disapproval of antisocial or destructive behaviors, usually bearing a connotation of contempt and derision. This usage of the word dates to 1911. The long-term origins of the ideas behind this in the Western world trace back to ancient times with the distinction of high culture associated with aristocracy at the top of the social hierarchy who were regarded in aristocrat-dominated society as compared with low culture associated with commoners at the bottom of the social hierarchy that included many impoverished people among them. In common usage, the term can also be used for people associated with adhering to low culture, or used to describe a crass, overly casual person who exhibit a lack of grace and refinement. In this sense, individuals do not necessarily need to be criminally destructive or hold ethically questionable views to qualify for the term. Similar terms used for the same type of person include the Australian/New Zealand term feral. (en)
- 低端生活（low-life）是指在社區裡在道德上不被接受的人的名詞。經常被貼上該標籤的人物包括賣淫者、惡霸、罪犯、毒品販子、自由裝貨者、流浪漢、黑幫、堅持低俗文化的人，經常使用褻瀆、妓女、皮條客、詐欺犯、性侵犯、藥物濫用者和小偷。 通常，該術語用於表示不贊成反社會或破壞性行為，通常帶有輕蔑和嘲弄的含義。這個詞的用法可以追溯到1911年。西方世界背後的觀念的長期起源可以追溯到遠古時代，在社會等級制度的最高階層，與貴族有關的高級文化與在貴族統治下的社會相比，與低等文化相關社會階層底層的平民，其中包括許多貧窮的人。 (zh)
