“应用语言学博客”在“long time no see”是源于美洲土著还是出自中国的争论中指出:“该句最早运用于书面写作的时间大约是在1840年到1915年,内容全都是英语国家的人‘转述’非英语国家者的讲话……那个时代的文学作品充斥着出自非英语国家人们之口的程式化英语——它能让我们信得过吗?”
As the 20th century progressed, "long time no see" began to evolve from a phrase in broken English to a standard way to greet an old acquaintance. By 1920, the phrase makes it into Good Housekeeping magazine. The novelist Raymond Chandler used it in more than one of his books. In Farewell, My Lovely, Moose Malloy drolly tells his ex-girlfriend Velma, "Hiya, babe. Long time no see." And in 1949, the poet Ogden Nash published his poem "Long Time No See, Bye Now" in The New Yorker. The poem introduces us to Mr. Latour, "an illiterate boor" who "calls poor people poor instead of underprivileged."
伴随20世纪的脚步,“long time no see”开始从一句不标准的英语短语变成向久未谋面的老友问候时的标准句式。1920年,这句神句登上了《好管家》杂志。小说家雷蒙·钱德勒在其作品中不止一次用到该句。在《别了,我的至爱》中,穆斯·马洛伊诙谐地对他的前女友维尔玛说:“你好,宝贝儿。Long time no see.” 奥格登•纳什1949年在《纽约客》上发表了诗歌《Long Time No See, 再见》。这首诗向我们介绍了拉图尔这样一位“目不识丁的粗人”,他“直呼穷人为穷人,而非‘社会权益受剥夺者’。”
