kibitzer乱出主意的人;旁观并议论牌局的人
【使用地区】:美国
【释义】:
German card players of the sixteenth century found meddlesome onlookers just as annoying as card players do today.The constant gratuitous“advice”of these chatterers reminded them of the Kiebitz(the lapwing or plover)whose shrill cries frightened game away from approaching hunters.Thus all kibitzers are named for this troublesome bird(also known as the peewit),which inspired the German word Kiebitzen,“to look over the shoulder of a card player.”
16世纪德国的玩牌人如同今天的玩牌人一样,觉得好管闲事的旁观者是那样令人讨厌。这些多嘴多舌者的免费“忠告”使他们想起了Kiebitz(行鸟科鸟)。它的叫声能把猎物从走近的猎人那儿吓跑。因而这种捣蛋的鸟就被取名为kibitzers,也称peewit,从而产生了德语词Kiebitzen,意为“在玩牌者一旁观看的人”。
