blarney stone巧言石(爱尔兰布拉尼城堡的石头, 相传吻此石头后即善于花言巧语)
"Blarney"一词最初出现于1796年,意为“过分恭维的语言”,源自于位于爱尔兰科克附近的一座中世纪城堡的高塔上的 Blarney 石头。据说,亲吻这块石头的人会变成一个有说服力的谄媚者。Bartlett 将这个词的含义与接近石头亲吻的难度联系在一起:“攀登它是毅力、勇气和敏捷的证明,许多人被认为获得了这个荣誉,但从未完成这个冒险。”因此,亲吻 kissed the Blarney Stone 石头的人意味着“讲述神奇的故事”["Dictionary of Americanisms," 1848]。这个词通过 Goldsmith 的《韦克菲尔德牧师》(1766)中的巧舌如簧的谄媚者 Lady Blarney 而广泛流传。作为动词的用法始于1803年。
