　　“Indeed,” Gorge Washington wrote in his diary in 1785, “some kind of fly, or bug (虫子), had begun to hunt on the leaves before I left home.” The father of our country was no the father of buy. When Washington wrote that sentence, Englishman had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century, and we Americans had already created Lightening buy. But the English were soon to get rid of the bugs in their language, leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

　　The American bug could also be a person, an enthusiast or fanatic, as the Congress ional Globe records in 1841: “Mr Alford of Georgia warned the ‘tariff bugs’ of the South that…he would read them out of church.’” And although “fan” became the usual term, sports enthusiasts were raching bugs, basketball bugs, and the like. And a bug could be just a plain person with mental disease, confined（限制）to a bughouse.

　　Or the bug could be a small machine or object: a telegraph key; a clip used by a card sharp to hold cards under the table; even a car, the small, bug-shaped, trademarked Volkswagen beetel. The bug could also be burglar（防盗）alarm, from which comes the expression to buy, that is, originally “to fix an alarm”, now a surveillance device like a hidden microphone. Since the 1840s to bug has long meant “to cheat”, and since the 1940s it has been annoying.
