redbone的词源解释,redbone来源

redbone(adj.)

“Redbone”最早出现于1886年的美国英语中,指的是一种在南方繁殖的猎犬,毛色为红色或红色和棕色,特别用于猎捕浣熊和逃犯。这个名字可能与19世纪南方美国用来表示混血文化的“Redbone”一词有关。

The Redbone is one of the old-time strains; confined exclusively to the Southern States. The "native" Birdsong, Georgia, Virginia, and Kentucky Hounds were undoubtedly the Redbone strain before the introduction of the various crosses previously mentioned. They were a slow, painstaking Hound, with superior nose and splendid mouth, without speed. [Gen. Roger D. Williams, "The American Foxhound," in "Dogs," New York: 1907]
“Redbone”是古老的品系之一,仅限于南部各州。在引入先前提到的各种杂交品种之前,“本地”的 Birdsong、乔治亚、弗吉尼亚和肯塔基猎犬无疑是“Redbone”品系。它们是一种缓慢而仔细的猎犬,具有卓越的嗅觉和出色的口腔,但速度不快。[罗杰·D·威廉姆斯将军,“美国猎狐犬”,《狗》杂志,纽约:1907年]
