bouncer 的词源
bouncer(n.)
1762年,“一个会弹跳的人”,这个词是从 bounce(动词)演变而来的,最初的意思是“猛击,撞击”。在19世纪,这个词有了多种具体的含义,比如“吹牛者,恶霸, bragging者”(1833年);还有“某类事物的大型代表”(1842年);以及“酒吧或酒馆里维持秩序的人”(1865年,美国英语,最初是口语表达)。
Now it so happened that the brakeman was what is known, in the language of the road, as a "bouncer." That is, he was a hybrid combining the qualities of a brakeman and a bruiser, and was frequently called into requisition by the conductor to take the dirty work of ejecting tramps off of his hands. ["Staats," "A Tight Squeeze," 1879]
恰巧,这个刹车员在铁路行话中被称为“bouncer”。也就是说,他是一个结合了刹车员和打手特质的混合体,经常被列车长叫来,帮他处理那些麻烦的流浪汉。——摘自《Staats》,《A Tight Squeeze》,1879年
"The Bouncer" is merely the English "chucker out". When liberty verges on license and gaiety on wanton delirium, the Bouncer selects the gayest of the gay, and — bounces him! [London Daily News, July 26, 1883]
“Bouncer”不过是英语中的“chucker out”。当自由接近放纵,欢乐变成无节制的狂欢时,Bouncer会挑选出最欢乐的人,然后——把他弹出去!——摘自《伦敦日报》,1883年7月26日
