uppercut 的词源
uppercut(n.)
在拳击中,指的是用拳头向上发力的近距离攻击,这个词最早出现在1831年,由 upper(上方的)和 cut(切割)组合而成。可能这个词的形象来源于砍树时,从树干上方(以及下方)进行切割的动作。
It was on a side hill, and I observed a boy, who appeared to be about fifteen years of age, opposite the house felling a large tree; he had cut a few chips from the under side, and was then making the principal incision on the upper. ... I said to the boy, "Well Sir, I see that you make the upper cut." "That is the true cut," said the boy; "for if you will take the axe and try below, you will find that the tree will crowd down upon your chips, and you can't get it down in double the time." [Theodore Sedgwick, "Hints to My Countrymen," 1826]
我在一个侧坡上,看见一个大约十五岁的男孩在房子对面砍一棵大树;他已经从树的下方切了几片树皮,现在正在树的上方进行主要切割……我对他说:“小伙子,我看到你在做上切。”他回答:“那才是真正的切割;如果你拿斧头从下方试试,你会发现树会压在你的切口上,双倍的时间也砍不下来的。” [西奥多·塞奇威克,《给我的乡亲们的建议》,1826年]
