Uncle Tom's Cabin
/ˌʌŋkl tɒmz ˈkæbɪn/
/ˌʌŋkl tɑːmz ˈkæbɪn/
- a novel (1852) by the US writer Harriet Beecher Stowe which increased support for the movement to free slaves. It is about a kind slave called Tom who is badly treated and finally killed by Simon Legree. Tom's daughter Little Eva also dies, and another well-known character in the novel is the slave child Topsy. The name 'Uncle Tom' is sometimes used as an insult to describe an African American who has too much respect for white people.
汤姆叔叔的小屋：美国作家哈里特·比彻·斯托的小说（1852年），为自由奴隶运动提供了更多支持。这是关于一个名叫汤姆的善良的奴隶，他受到虐待并最终被西蒙·莱格里杀害。汤姆（Tom）的女儿小伊娃（Little Eva）也去世了，小说中另一个著名人物是奴隶孩子托普西（Topsy）。有时候，“汤姆叔叔”这个名字是一种侮辱，用来描述对白人非常尊重的非洲裔美国人。
