bork 的词源
bork(v.)
“通过抨击某人的职业和信仰来使其在某个职位上失去信誉”,这个说法出现在1987年,源自美国法官罗伯特·H·Bork(1927-2012)的名字。他在1987年被提名为最高法院法官,但在激烈的反对运动后被拒绝。这并不是第一个被用作此类表达的名字:
[John Quincy Adams's] printed assault upon Jonathan Russell—who had been so ill-advised as to cast doubts upon the patriotism of Adams's conduct at Ghent—was so deadly that for many years afterwards the vocabulary of America was increased, though not enriched, by the transitive verb "to Jonathan-Russell," meaning to pulverize an opponent. [George Dangerfield, "The Era of Good Feeling," 1953]
[约翰·昆西·亚当斯] 对乔纳森·拉塞尔的公开攻击——拉塞尔曾愚蠢地质疑亚当斯在根特的爱国行为——是如此致命,以至于许多年后,美国的词汇虽然没有丰富,却因及物动词“to Jonathan-Russell”而增加,这个词意为彻底粉碎对手。[乔治·丹杰菲尔德,《美好情感时代》,1953年]
