bowery 的詞源
bowery(n.)
"農場,種植園",源自荷蘭語 bowerij "家庭農場"(與 bower 來源相同); 這個荷蘭詞在美國除了紐約以外可能很少使用,在那裏很快被限制在一條路的名稱上,即 The Bowery(1787年被稱爲如此),從城市的建築區延伸到曼哈頓中部的種植園; 城市的發展很快就超越了它,到1840年,它成爲了一個以骯髒、喧鬧和低劣生活臭名昭著的商業區。作爲美國喜劇類型的 Bowery boy 在19世紀50年代和1900年左右達到了高峯。
Bowery Boy, the typical New York tough of a generation or two ago, named from the street which he chiefly affected .... He rather prided himself on his uncouthness, his ignorance, and his desperado readiness to fight, but he also loved to have attention called to his courage, his gallantry to women, his patriotic enthusiasm, and his innate tenderness of heart. A fire and a thrilling melodrama called out all his energies and emotions. [Walsh, 1892]
Bowery Boy,是一代或兩代前的典型紐約硬漢,以他主要活動的街道命名....他相當自豪於他的粗魯、無知和他準備好戰鬥的不良行爲,但他也喜歡引起人們對他的勇氣、他對婦女的殷勤、他的愛國熱情和他內在的心靈柔軟的關注。一場火災和一部扣人心絃的情節劇調動了他所有的精力和情感。[沃爾什,1892年]
