释义 | 〔Gullah〕The creolized language of the Gullahs, based on English but including vocabulary elements and grammatical features from several African languages and spoken in isolated communities from Georgetown in eastern South Carolina to northern Florida.格勒语:格勒人所说的一种克里奥尔方言,以英语为基础,但包括几种非洲语言的词汇及语法特征,在从美国南卡罗来纳州东部的乔治镇到佛罗里达州北部的被隔离的群体中使用〔juke〕Probably from Gullah juke, joog [disorderly, wicked] 可能源自 格勒语 juke, joog [杂乱无序的,令人不快的] 〔juke〕Gullah, the English-based Creole language spoken by Black people off the coast of Georgia and South Carolina,retains a number of words from the West African languages brought over by slaves.One such word isjuke, "bad, wicked, disorderly,”the probable source of the English wordjuke. Used chiefly in the Southeastern states,juke (also appearing in the compound juke joint ) means a roadside drinking establishment that offers cheap drinks, food, and music for dancingand often doubles as a brothel."To juke" is to dance,particularly at a juke joint or to the music of a jukebox whose name, no longer regional and having lost the connotation of sleaziness, contains the same word.格勒语是沿美国乔治亚洲和南卡罗来纳州海岸的黑人说的以英语为基础的克里奥耳语。该语言仍保留着一些由奴隶带过来的西非各种语言中的单词。其中之一就是juke , 意为“坏的,邪恶的,杂乱无序的”,这可能就是英语单词juke 的词源。 主要在东南部各州使用的juke (也出现在复合词 juke joint 中), 意为公路旁边供应廉价饮料、食物和跳舞的音乐,以及经常兼作妓院的小酒馆。"To juke"意为跳舞,尤其是在廉价小酒店里跳或伴着自动唱机里的音乐跳。这种投币或自动唱机的名称不再具地方性,也失去了低级庸俗的涵义 |
