yenta长舌妇

【使用地区】：美国

【释义】：

Yiddish for a gossipy woman who talks too much and can’t keep a secret，yenta may derive from some unknown blabbermouth named Yenta．The proper name Yenta probably derives from the Italian gentile．A talkative character named Yenta Talabenta in a play by Sholom Aleichem popularized the term．

此词是意第绪语，指“饶舌的女人”，这种女人说得很多，不能保守秘密。yenta也许源自某个名叫Yenta的普通长舌妇。Yenta这一专有名字也许来自意大利异教徒。Sholom Aleichem剧作中一个名叫Yenta Talabenta的多嘴角色使这个词大为流行。
