中文詞源
pidgin 洋涇浜，混雜式語言
來自pigeon English(1859),鴿子英語，鳥語，19世紀中葉上海開埠時歐洲人用以形容中國人說的簡化英語，來自pigeon(1826),鴿子，此詞帶有雙重含義，一是歐洲人用以形容中國人念”business”的發(fā)音有點像在念”pigeon”,鴿子，二是歐洲人用該詞來暗示或赤裸裸的形容當時的中國人說英語有點像在說鳥語或像鴿子在叫。在英語詞匯中，pigeon和dove雖然指同一種鳥，但是兩個詞所表達的感情色彩是不一樣的。后來可能是因為該詞諷刺意味過于明顯，因而將拼寫改成pidgin.
英文詞源
- pidgin
- pidgin: [19] A pidgin is a reduced form of language used for communication between speech communities which do not share the same native language. A characteristic of such languages is that words in the base language from which the pidgin evolved become altered. And this is how the word pidgin itself arose. It comes from pidgin English, an alteration of business English in the commercial pidgin used in Far Eastern ports in the mid-19th century.
=> business - pidgin (n.)
