back seat 的詞源
back seat(n.)
同樣地, back-seat,1832年,最初用於指馬車,源自於 back(形容詞)和 seat(名詞)。到1868年,它被比喻爲“不重要的或最不突出的位置”。到了1923年,有人創造了一個新詞“ Back-seat driver ”,指那些給司機無用建議的乘客。
You know him. The one who sits on the back seat and tells the driver what to do. He issues a lot of instructions, gives advice, offers no end of criticism and doesn't do a bit of work. ["The Back Seat Driver," Wisconsin Congregational Church Life, May 1923]
