起源于约1891年的英语词汇列表

  • bogey(n.2)

    高尔夫球术语,起源于1891年,最初指“一个好球手在给定的球洞或球场上需要的杆数”,后来指“比标准杆多一杆的得分”(1946年)。与 bogey(n.1)来源相同,基于“地面得分”代表的“幻影”对手的概念。当时,由于音乐厅歌曲“Hush,Hush,Hush,Here Comes the Bogey Man”的流行,在英国很流行这个词。

    One popular song at least has left its permanent effect on the game of golf. That song is 'The Bogey Man.' In 1890 Dr. Thos. Browne, R.N., the hon. secretary of the Great Yarmouth Club, was playing against a Major Wellman, the match being against the 'ground score,' which was the name given to the scratch value of each hole. The system of playing against the 'ground score' was new to Major Wellman, and he exclaimed, thinking of the song of the moment, that his mysterious and well-nigh invincible opponent was a regular 'bogey-man.' The name 'caught on' at Great Yarmouth, and to-day 'Bogey' is one of the most feared opponents on all the courses that acknowledge him. [1908, cited in OED]
    至少有一首流行歌曲对高尔夫球运动产生了永久的影响。那首歌是“Bogey Man”。1890年,大约翰·威尔曼少校与大约翰·布朗医生在大雅茅斯俱乐部比赛,比赛是针对“地面得分”的,这是每个球洞的初始值。对于威尔曼少校来说,与“地面得分”比赛的系统是新的,他想到了当时的歌曲,大声喊道,他神秘而几乎无敌的对手是一个真正的“鬼怪”。这个名字在大雅茅斯流行开来,如今,“Bogey”是所有承认他的球场上最令人畏惧的对手之一。[1908,引用自 OED]

    其他早期的高尔夫球来源认为它起源于美国。作为动词,最早于1948年被证明。
