have-not 的词源
have-not(n.)
“穷人”这个词最早出现在1742年,由 have 和 not 组合而成。这里的 Have 指的是“拥有财富的人”或“富裕阶层”,与其来源相同。最早的例子出现在《堂吉诃德》的翻译中:
'There are but two families in the world, as my grandmother used to say; "the Have's and the Have-not's," and she stuck to the former; and now-a-days, master Don Quixote, people are more inclined to feel the pulse of Have than of Know.' ["Don Quixote de la Mancha," transl. Charles Jarvis, London, 1742]
“我祖母常说,世界上只有两个家庭,‘有的人和没有的人’,她偏向于前者;而如今,堂吉诃德先生,人们更倾向于关注‘有’而非‘知’。” [《堂吉诃德》,查尔斯·贾维斯翻译,伦敦,1742年]
