单词 巴纳姆
释义 〔showcase〕Like other show business jargon,such as the verb use ofpremiere, this usage is properly exempt from criticism; we expect from P.T. Barnum a measure of exaggeration and grammatical license that we might not accept in other kinds of linguistic commerce.But since its inception in the 1940's, the verb has acquired a wider pattern of use.It is applied to the exposure of athletes and to the display of products: 象其它一些商业演出用语一样,如premiere 的这种动词用法一般不会招致批评; 我们希望能从P·T·巴纳姆那里得到一种夸张的尺寸以及一张我们无法在其它形式的语言交流中接受的语法许可证。但是从本世纪四十年代这个动词首次出现以来,它已经获得了更广泛的运用领域。它用来指运动员的亮相以及产品的展示: 〔Stratton〕American entertainer who reached 3 feet 4 inches at maturity and toured extensively with P.T. Barnum's circus.斯特拉顿,查尔斯·舌伍德:(1838-1883) 美国滑稽演员,成年时只有3英尺4英寸高,随P.T.巴纳姆马戏团四处巡回演出〔Barnum〕American showman who established The Greatest Show on Earth (1871), which was merged with its major competition (1881) to form the Barnum and Bailey Circus.巴纳姆,菲(尼斯)·泰(勒):(1810-1891) 美国马戏团节目演出经理人,建立了世界大马戏团(1871年),(1881年)与其主要竞争对手合并形成巴纳姆贝利马戏团
