dudeism 的词源

dudeism(n.)

1883年,“被称为‘dudes’的阶层的服装、举止和社交特征”[《世纪词典》],来源于dude + -ism

The dude possesses in his outward appearance and bearing all the attributes of a gentleman, excepting, perhaps, that of manliness. His dress is unostentatious in its perfection, its only loud notes being a pair of white gaiters, which are believed to be going out already in obedience to the unwritten code of dudeism. Why the dude feels any interest in life is not clear—he does not look as if he enjoyed it. There is a certain introspective earnestness in his bearing that reminds one of the theological student, and perhaps the prevailing high collar strengthens the resemblance. [Phrenological Journal, July 1883]
这个dude在外表和举止上拥有所有绅士的特征,唯一可能缺少的就是男子气概。他的穿着在完美中不张扬,唯一显眼的就是一双白色护腿,据信这些护腿已经在遵循dudeism的潜规则中逐渐过时。这个dude为何对生活感兴趣并不清楚——他看起来并不享受生活。他的举止中有一种内省的认真,令人想起神学学生,也许是因为他那高高的领子更加强化了这种相似性。[《心理测量学杂志》,1883年7月]

1883年,“挑剔的人”,纽约市俚语,起源不明;近期研究表明它是对Yankee Doodle的缩短,基于歌曲中“花哨、过于挑剔的男性”的概念(比较macaroni)。1883年的流行词,最初用于指“审美”狂热的追随者,后来应用于城市花花公子,尤其是东部人在西部度假的人(如dude ranch“为客人和游客收费娱乐的牧场”,1921年证明)。“这个词没有前例记录,很可能只是大众俚语的自发产物”[世纪词典]。

Now, "tenderfoot" is not to be construed as the Western equivalent of that much evolved and more abused specimen of mankind, familiarly styled "dude." For even the Montana cowboy recognizes the latter. Not that he has ever seen the true prototype of a class that was erstwhile so numerous among us. But he is convinced that a person caught in the act of wearing a white linen collar, and who looks as though he might have recently shaved or washed his face, must be a dude, true and proper. ["Random Notes and Observations of a Trip through the Great Northwest," The Medical Record, Oct. 20, 1883]
现在,“tenderfoot”不能被解读为西部风格的、经过很多演变和更被滥用的人类标本,通俗地称为“dude”。因为即使是蒙大拿州的牛仔也能认出后者。并不是说他曾见过曾经在我们中间如此众多的一个阶层的真实原型。但他确信,一个被发现穿着白色亚麻领子,并且看起来最近刚剃过胡子或洗过脸的人,一定是一个真正的dude。[《穿越大西北的随机笔记和观察》,《医学记录》,1883年10月20日]

对任何男性的应用在1966年录得,美国,最初在非裔美国人英语中。

DUDE: This does not mean "tenderfoot," as it once did. It now is used to refer positively to somebody. "Charlie's a nice dude." Occasionally it's used as a neutral noun, so you can call someone a "strange dude." [Mike Jahn, "Are You Hip?" Louisville, Ky. Courier-Journal, July 11, 1971]
DUDE:这并不意味着“tenderfoot”,就像它曾经那样。现在用来积极指代某人。“查理是个不错的dude。”偶尔也用作中性名词,所以你可以称某人为“奇怪的dude。”[迈克·扬,《你时尚吗?》,肯塔基州路易斯维尔《日报》,1971年7月11日]

这个词缀用于构成名词,表示某种实践、体系、学说等,来源于法语的 -isme,或直接源自拉丁语的 -isma-ismus(同样是意大利语、西班牙语的 -ismo,荷兰语、德语的 -ismus 的来源)。它源自希腊语的 -ismos,作为名词后缀,表示某种事物的实践或教义,通常与动词 -izein 的词干结合,后者是一个动词构成元素,表示对所附名词或形容词的执行或实施。关于用法的区别,可以参考 -ity。相关的希腊语后缀 -isma(t)- 在某些形式中会有所影响。
