而为什么用john来命秋裤?他给出的答案是这样的:
他在文中找到了1944年6月3日在威斯康辛州一份报纸上的文章(Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune),文中似乎给出了john的典故。
Many a rookie has been ridiculed and laughed at the first time he swallowed his pride and donned his LONG JOHNS.
许多新兵在放下自尊,第一次穿上军队发的long johns后,都会遭到周围人的嘲讽和讥笑。
They are the winter underwear issued by the Army, and have the disturbing effect of making a G.I. look like a trapeze artist.
这long johns就是军队里发放的过冬衣服,但是它有一个烦人的负面效果,就是让士兵看上去像个空中飞人表演者一样。
It might be added that they itch but good!
还有一点,这种衣服穿着很痒,不过确实不错!
After a soldier finally gets into his LONG JOHNS, he invariably swells his chest, flexes his biceps and struts around the barracks like a John L. Sullivan, after whom these practical if not sightly garments have been named.
士兵套上秋衣秋裤后,总是会停起胸脯,鼓起肱二头肌,像John L. Sullivan(19世纪末期的一名重量级拳击手)一样在军营里昂首阔步地走来走去。于是人们就用这位拳击手的名字来命名这种实用但不甚悦目的衣物了。
