belly-dance 的詞源
belly-dance(n.)
也稱爲 bellydance,1883年,出現在一篇關於在波斯旅行的英國記錄中,由 belly(名詞)和 dance(名詞)組成。在早期的使用中,有時被稱爲法國 danse du ventre,,這在法國對中東的記錄中可以追溯到1872年。它在1883年以法語術語的形式出現在英語中,並且在1889年巴黎博覽會上的表演使其使用得到了推動。
We agreed, and made our way to the mimic street called Grand Cairo, where we witnessed the lady contortionist who performs a series of movements, designated with charming frankness on the affiches as "La Danse du Ventre." It might with equal candor be called the Lumbar Wriggle [or] the Pectoral Squirm, for this curious Arab almeh possesses the power of moving any one of her principal sets of muscles quite independently of all the others, and can make any prominent part of her person waggle or surge, while its neighboring lines or curves preserve a statuesque rigidity. [Table Talk, September 1889]
我們同意了,並前往被稱爲大開羅的模擬街道,在那裏我們目睹了一位女士的扭曲表演,這些動作在 affiches 上被迷人地稱爲“肚皮舞”。它也可以被坦率地稱爲腰部扭動或胸部蠕動,因爲這位有趣的阿拉伯舞女可以獨立地移動她的任何一個主要肌肉組,而其它肌肉則保持雕塑般的僵硬。[《Table Talk》,1889年9月]
The number of women [in the audience] was ludicrously disproportionate, and the number of American women was noticeable. Some of them seemed slightly pensive, but all were interested. Their large eyes grew larger still. They almost forgot decorum in crowding for a better view, in leaning over the backs of chairs in concentrated absorbed attention. [Scribner's Magazine, January 1890]
女性觀衆的數量明顯不成比例,而美國女性的數量也很顯眼。她們中的一些人似乎有點憂鬱,但都很感興趣。她們的大眼睛變得更大了。她們幾乎忘記了禮儀,爲了更好的視野而擁擠在一起,專注地倚在椅背上。[《Scribner's Magazine》,1890年1月]
這個英語名詞可能是法語的直接翻譯。作爲動詞出現於1963年。相關詞彙: Belly-dancer(1922); belly-dancing(名詞),1921年。
