"Kathleen" was, as its 1892 subtitle asserted, "An Irish Drama".正如1892年剧本的副标题所强调的，《凯瑟琳》是一部“爱尔兰戏剧”。 Irish 爱尔兰人，爱尔兰语来自古爱尔兰语Eriu,肥沃的土地。 Irish (n.)c. 1200, Irisce, from stem of Old English Iras "inhabitant of Ireland," from Old Norse irar, ultimately from Old Irish Eriu (accusative Eirinn, Erinn) "Erin," which is from Old Celtic *Iveriu (accusative *Iverionem, ablative *Iverione), perhaps from PIE *pi-wer- "fertile," literally "fat," from root *peie- "to be fat, swell" (see fat (adj.)). Meaning "temper, passion" is 1834, American English (first attested in writings of Davy Crockett), from the legendary pugnacity of Irish people. Irish-American is from 1832; Irish stew is attested from 1814; Irish coffee is from 1950. Wild Irish (late 14c.) originally were those not under English rule; Black Irish in reference to those of Mediterranean appearance is from 1888." |
