scrod 的词源
scrod(n.)
1841年,指“年轻的鳕鱼,切开后煎或煮”,这是一个来自新英格兰的词,起源不确定,可能源自荷兰语 schrood,意为“切下来的部分”,来自中世纪荷兰语 scrode,意为“碎片”(与古英语 screade,即“切下来的部分”同源;参见 shred (n.))。如果这个解释成立,那么这个词的概念可能是指为了干燥或烹饪而切成块的鱼。

In search of dinner, and hungry for that Boston favorite, broiled scrod, he hops into a cab and asks the driver, "My good man, take me someplace where I can get scrod." The cabbie replies, "Pal, that's the first time I've ever been asked that in the passive pluperfect subjunctive."
