Hoyle 的词源
Hoyle
1755年起,埃德蒙·Hoyle(1672-1769)因其多部关于纸牌游戏的著作,被视为纸牌或棋类游戏的权威。根据巴德斯利的说法,这个姓氏源自北英格兰的一种方言发音,代表了hole(洞)。他指出:“在约克郡和兰开夏,hole在方言中仍然发音为hoyle。任何住在圆形凹坑或洞穴中的人,都可能被称为托马斯或拉尔夫·霍伊尔。”[《英语和威尔士姓氏词典》,伦敦,1901年]
To the making of rule-books there is no end, and books on card games are no exception to the rule. Many claim to be the last word in 'Official Rules', and to this end disguise themselves under the name of HOYLE as an earnest of proof and authority. It may therefore be rather surprising to learn that Hoyle died over 200 years ago, and positively disconcerting find that most card games do not actually have official rules. What's more, the original Hoyle, an eighteenth-century Whist tutor, only described some half-dozen card games, and in not a single instance did he write any rules explaining how the game is played. [David Parlett, "A History of Card Games," 1991]
制定规则书的工作似乎没有尽头,纸牌游戏的规则书也不例外。许多书籍自称是“官方规则”的最终权威,为此,它们常常以霍伊尔的名义伪装自己,以示证明和权威。因此,得知霍伊尔早在200多年前就去世了,可能会让人感到相当惊讶,更令人困惑的是,大多数纸牌游戏实际上并没有官方规则。而且,作为18世纪的无赖牌教师,霍伊尔本人只描述了大约六种纸牌游戏,并且在任何情况下,他都没有写下任何解释游戏玩法的规则。[大卫·帕莱特,《纸牌游戏史》,1991年]
