dreamboat(n.)
"梦想般的理想对象",1947年,源自 dream(n.)+ boat(n.)。该短语在此之前大约使用了二十年。1936年的歌曲《当我的梦想之船回家》归功于盖伊·朗巴多,而1929年的书名为《梦想之船》。
It is rare indeed that a designer ever has the opportunity to build his dream boat. Chris Smith, all his life, had held in mind a boat of about fifty feet overall which would be the last word in yacht design and performance. [Motor Boating, December 1929]
设计师很少有机会建造他的梦想之船。克里斯·史密斯(Chris Smith)一生中一直心中想着一艘大约50英尺的船,这将是游艇设计和性能的最后一句话。[《摩托艇》杂志,1929年12月]
