jolie laide 的詞源
jolie laide(n.)
"長相違反美麗標準的女孩或女人",1849年,源自法語表達(1780年前出現在法語中),由 joli "漂亮"(見 jolly) + laid "醜陋"組成,源自法蘭克人的 *laid(見 loath(形容詞))。
Of beauty, as we narrowly understand it in England, [the 18c. French woman of society] had but little; but she possessed so many other witcheries that her habitual want of features and complexion ceased to count against her. Expression redeemed the absence of prettiness and the designation jolie laide was invented for her in order to express her power of pleasing despite her ugliness. ["The Decadence of French Women," Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, October 1881]
在英格蘭,我們狹義地理解美麗,[18世紀的法國社交女性] 的美貌很少; 但她擁有許多其他的魅力,以至於她習慣性的缺乏特徵和膚色不再成爲她的缺點。表情彌補了缺乏美麗的缺陷, jolie laide 這個稱號被髮明出來,以表達她的吸引力,儘管她很醜。["法國女性的頹廢",《愛丁堡黑木雜誌》,1881年10月]
