bustle(v.)
bustle(n.1)
bustle(n.2)
“裙子后部的上部填充物”,1788年,起源不明,可能来自德语 Buschel “一堆,垫子”,或者它可能是 bustle(n.1)的特殊用途,指“沙沙作响的动作”。
BUSTLE. A pad stuffed with cotton, feathers, bran, &c., worn by ladies for the double purpose of giving a greater rotundity or prominence to the hips, and setting off the smallness of the waist. [Bartlett, "Dictionary of Americanisms," 1848]
BUSTLE。女士们穿的填充有棉花、羽毛、麸皮等的垫子,有两个作用:一是使臀部更加圆润或突出,二是突显腰部的纤细。[Bartlett,“美国俚语词典”,1848]
《世纪词典》(1895)指出,除了“改善身材”外,它还使裙子的褶皱优雅地垂下,并防止裙子在行走时干扰脚步。
