Wodehouse,Tales of St. Austin's, there is a mention of a waistcoat that was "push.” The latter may be a different word,but in either case the dates of occurrence are importantbecause they are part of the objection to derivingposh from the initials of "Port Out, Starboard Home.” This was the cooler, and thus more expensive, side of ships traveling between England and India in the mid-19th century,and the acronymPOSH was supposedly stamped on the tickets of first-class passengers traveling on that side of ships owned by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. No evidence is definitely known to exist for this theory, however.TheOxford English Dictionary Supplement may have found a possible source or sources for posh. Another wordposh was 19th- and early 20th-century British slang for "money,” specifically "a halfpenny, cash of small value.”This word is borrowed from the common Romany wordpåšh, "half,” which was used in combinations such aspåšhera, "halfpenny.” Posh, also meaning "a dandy,” is recorded in two dictionaries of slang published in 1890 and 1902,although this particularposh may be still another word. This word or these words, however, are much more likely to be the source ofposh than "Port Out, Starboard Home,” although the latter source certainly has caught the public's etymological fancy.“哦是的,妈妈,我们在那里过着豪华的生活。”因此在1918年9月25日的punch 上, 我们看到了那个神秘单词posh 的首次记录, 意为“豪华的,时髦的,”虽然早在1903年P·G·伍德豪斯的名为圣·奥斯汀传说 的作品中就提及了意为"push"的马夹这个词。 后者也可能是另外一个不同的词,但在任何一种情况下两者被使用的时间都很重要,因为它们都反对posh 这个词源于"Port Out,Starboard Home。” 这是意指19世纪中期往来于英格兰及印度的船只中较凉爽、因而票价也就较为昂贵的一侧,而POSH 这个首字缩拼词据说就印在半岛——东方蒸汽船航运公司所拥有的船只上较为凉爽的一侧头等舱的票上。 然而对于这一说法并没有确凿的证据来加以证明。牛津英语词典增补本 也许为 posh 找到了一个或多个可能的词源。 另一个词posh 则是19世纪和20世纪初英国人用来表示“钱”的俚语, 尤指“半便士,小面值钱币。”这个词源于吉卜赛常用词på歨 ,意为“一半”, 用在诸如意为“半便士”的复合词på歨era 中。 Posh 也有“花花公子”之意, 这一用法记录于1890年及1902年出版的两本俚语词典中,尽管这个特有的posh 也有可能是另一个词。 然而这个词及上文提到的那些词比"Port Out,Starboard Home"更有可能是posh 这个词的词源, 虽然后者早被人们确认为这个词的词源〔denominate〕To issue or express in terms of a given monetary unit:以…面值发行:以某种给定的货币单位发行或表达:〔penny〕Abbr. p.In the United States and Canada, the coin that is worth one cent.缩写 p.分:一种美国和加拿大面值1分的硬币〔surplus〕Excess of a corporation's net assets over the face value of its capital stock.超净资产:一家公司的总资产超过该公司股票面值的部分〔value〕issued a stamp of new value.发行一种新面值的邮票〔kreuzer〕Any of several small coins of low value formerly used in Austria and Germany.十字币:旧时在奥地利和德国使用的一种低面值小硬币〔seigniorage〕Revenue or a profit taken from the minting of coins, usually the difference between the value of the bullion used and the face value of the coin. 铸造利差:通过铸造硬币所获的收益或利润,通常是指所使用的贵金属内含值与硬币面值之差〔value〕One of a series of specified values:面值:一系列特定价值之一:〔dollar〕A coin or note worth one dollar.一元钱:面值一元的硬币或纸币〔toonie〕A Canadian coin worth two dollars.通尼:面值两元的加拿大硬币〔hundred〕A note of currency worth 100 dollars.百元美钞:一张面值一百美元的钞票〔sixpence〕A coin formerly used in Britain and worth six pennies.六便士硬币:旧时用于英国的硬币,面值为六便士〔denier〕A small coin of varying composition and value current in western Europe from the eighth century until the French Revolution.丹尼尔:西欧18世纪到法国大革命时期流通的一种有不同成分和面值的小硬币〔copper〕A coin, usually of small denomination, made of copper or a copper alloy.铜币:用铜或铜的合金制成的硬币,通常为小面值〔nominal〕Of, relating to, or being the amount or face value of a sum of money or a stock certificate, for example, and not the purchasing power or market value.面值的,非市场价值的:属于、关于或是一笔钱或者股票证券的票面价值量的,而并非购买力市场价值 |
