VIP 的詞源
VIP(n.)
此外 V.I.P.,1933年,是對 very important person 或 personage 的首字母縮寫; 但直到第二次世界大戰後才普及。
At most, the greatest persons, are but great wens, and excrescences; men of wit and delightfull conversation, but as moales for ornament, except they be so incorporated into the body of the world, that they contribute something to the sustentation of the whole. [John Donne, letter to Sir Henry Goodere, Sept. 1608]
至多,最偉大的人物只是一些巨大的贅瘤和突起物; 他們是才智和愉悅對話的人,但除非他們融入整個世界的主體,並對整體的延續做出一點貢獻,否則只是點綴,無爲而爲。
