nigger词源中文解释

1786年,早期的 neger(1568年,苏格兰和英格兰北部方言), negar, negur,源自法语 nègre,来自西班牙语 negro(见 Negro)。从最早的使用开始,它是“一个词,带有白人对黑人所施加的所有诽谤、蔑视和拒绝”的说法[cited in Gowers, 1965, probably Harold R. Isaacs]。但由于在英语国家,黑人非优越性曾经是一种普遍的假设,这个词在某些情况下可以在没有恶意侮辱的情况下使用。18世纪末和19世纪初,更富同情心的作家似乎使用 black(名词),在美国内战后又使用了 colored person。

Nigger is more English in form than negro, and was formerly and to some extent still is used without intent; but its use is now confined to colloquial or illiterate speech, in which it generally conveys more or less of contempt. [Century Dictionary, 1895]
Nigger 在形式上更接近英语,比 negro 更常用,过去和现在在没有恶意的情况下使用; 但现在它的使用仅限于口语或文盲的言语中,通常带有或多或少的蔑视。[Century Dictionary, 1895]
"You're a fool nigger, and the worst day's work Pa ever did was to buy you," said Scarlett slowly. ... There, she thought, I've said "nigger" and Mother wouldn't like that at all. [Margaret Mitchell, "Gone With the Wind," 1936]
“你是个愚蠢的黑鬼,爸爸买你是他做过的最糟糕的事情,”斯嘉丽慢慢地说道。...她想,我说了“黑鬼”,妈妈一定不喜欢。[玛格丽特·米切尔,《飘》(1936)]

这个词也被英国殖民者用来指代印度、澳大利亚、波利尼西亚的深肤色土著人。

One hears the contemptuous term "nigger" still applied to natives by those who should know better, especially by youths just come from home, and somewhat intoxicated by sudden power. [Samuel Smith, "India Revisited," in "The Contemporary Review," July 1886]
那些应该更明白的人,尤其是刚从家乡来的年轻人,有时仍然用蔑视的词“黑鬼”来称呼土著人,而且有些人还有点醉酒,因为突然获得了权力。[塞缪尔·史密斯,《印度再访》(发表于《当代评论》杂志,1886年7月)]

在黑人文化中,这个词被重新定义为中性或积极的词语(并非普遍被认为是一项有价值的事业),通常带有“灵魂”或“风格”的暗示,首次见于美国南方,后来(1968年)出现在北方的城市黑人权力运动中。变体 nigga,从1827年开始使用(作为 niggah 从1835年开始使用),通常在黑人使用这个词时出现。还可以参考 nigra.。

[F]or when a town black has called a country black (equally black with himself) a "dam black plantation nigga," you may know that he has been terribly provoked, and has now ejected his last drop of gall in that most contemptuous epithet. [The Pamphleteer, vol. XXVIII, No. LVI, 1827]
[因为当一个城市黑人称呼一个乡村黑人(与他一样黑)为“该死的黑色种植园黑鬼”时,你就知道他已经被极度激怒,现在他已经用这个最蔑视的词语发泄了他最后一滴胆汁。[《小册子》第28卷,第56号,1827年]

自19世纪40年代以来,它被用于各种深棕色或黑色的色调或物体的组合(如 nigger-brown); 委婉的替代词(如 Zulu)开始在这些意义上出现,大约在1917年。巴西坚果在1896年被称为 nigger toesNigger stick “监狱警卫的警棍”在1971年被证实。到1836年, work like a nigger “非常努力地工作”。

俚语短语 nigger in the woodpile “影响情况的一个隐藏动机或未知因素,以不利的方式”[OED],在1800年被证实; 索顿的《美国词汇表》(1912年)将其定义为“解释燃料消失的一种方式”,因此是“一个未解之谜”。Nigger heaven “(隔离的)剧院的顶层画廊”首次在1878年被证实,指的是纽约特洛伊。Nigger-shooter “弹弓”在1876年出现。
