beautician(n.)
1924年,美国英语(Mencken 在俄亥俄州克利夫兰的电话目录中找到了它),源自于 beauty,加上后缀,和 technician 的类似。 Beauty salon 来自1912年,是普通术语 beauty shop 的替代品(1898)。Beauty parlor 来自1894年。
The sudden death of a young woman a little over a week ago in a down-town "beauty parlor" has served to direct public attention to those institutions and their methods. In this case, it seems, the operator painted on or injected into the patron's facial blemish a 4-per-cent cocaine solution and then applied an electrode, the sponge of which was saturated with carbolized water. [The Western Druggist, October 1894]
一周多之前,一位年轻女子在市区的“美容院”里突然去世,这引起了公众对这些机构及其方法的关注。在这种情况下,似乎操作员在顾客的面部瑕疵上涂抹或注射了4%的可卡因溶液,然后应用了一种海绵浸满碳化水的电极。【《西方制药商》1894年10月】
Back in 1917, according to Frances Fisher Dubuc, only two persons in the beauty culture business had paid an income tax; by 1927 there were 18,000 firms and individuals in this field listed as income-tax payers. The "beautician" had arrived. [Frederick Lewis Allen, "Only Yesterday," 1931]
根据 Frances Fisher Dubuc 的说法,在1917年,美容业务只有两个人缴纳了所得税; 到1927年,已有18,000家公司和个人在此领域上列为纳税人。美容业已经到来了。【弗雷德里克·刘易斯·艾伦,《仅仅昨天》,1931年】
