blarney 花言巧语
Blarney 为爱尔兰一城堡名,城堡之上悬一石头,据说任何人如能亲吻该石头,即具备口苦悬河的能力。也可能直接来自拟声词,巴拉巴拉,口苦悬河。
- blarney (n.)
- 1796, from Blarney Stone (which is said to make a persuasive flatterer of any who kiss it), in a castle near Cork, Ireland. As Bartlett explains it, the reason is the difficulty of the feat of kissing the stone where it sits high up in the battlement: "to have ascended it, was proof of perseverence, courage, and agility, whereof many are supposed to claim the honor who never achieved the adventure." So to have kissed the Blarney Stone came to mean "to tell wonderful tales" ["Dictionary of Americanisms," 1848]. The word reached wide currency through Lady Blarney, the smooth-talking flatterer in Goldsmith"s "Vicar of Wakefield" (1766). As a verb from 1803.
