释义

Yankee Doodle

/ˌjæŋki ˈduːdl/
/ˌjæŋki ˈduːdl/
  1. a popular 18th-century marching song which has become almost a national song in the US. It was first sung by British soldiers to make fun of Americans during the American Revolution, but then became popular with George Washington's soldiers. 'Yankee' probably comes from 'Janke', the Dutch for 'Johnny' and a common name in early New York. 'Doodle' is an old-fashioned English word meaning a stupid person. The song begins: 18世纪流行的流行歌曲,几乎已成为美国的民族歌曲。它最初是由英国士兵演唱的,以在美国独立战争期间取笑美国人,但后来在乔治·华盛顿的士兵中广受欢迎。“扬基”(Yankee)可能来自“扬基”(Janke)。“ Doodle”是一个老式的英语单词,表示一个愚蠢的人。歌曲开始:Yankee Doodle came to town,Riding on a pony;He stuck a feather in his capAnd called it macaroni.
