Lennon 的词源

A recurring visual feature of the [Hong Kong] protests has been the so-called Lennon Walls, where people have posted hundreds or even thousands of slogans — mostly on Post-it notes — in public spaces across the city.

Their name comes from a wall in Prague where tributes to John Lennon appeared after the former Beatle’s killing in 1980. It evolved into a place where young Czechs expressed support for democracy and aired grievances against the Communist regime ruling Czechoslovakia.

在[香港]抗议活动中，一个反复出现的视觉特征就是所谓的列侬墙，人们在城市各个公共场所贴上数百甚至数千个口号——大多数是用便利贴写的。

这个名字来源于布拉格的一面墙，那是约翰·列侬在1980年被刺杀后，人们为他留下的悼念。后来，这里演变成捷克年轻人表达对民主支持和对当时统治捷克斯洛伐克的共产党政权不满的地方。[“Fueling the Hong Kong Protests: A World of Pop-Culture Memes,” New York Times, Aug. 2, 2019]
