patsy词源中文解释

"替罪羊,欺骗的受害者",最早见于1903年,起源不明,可能是意大利词语 pazzo “疯子”(参见 patch(n.2))的变形,或者是意大利南部方言词语 paccio “傻瓜”。另一种理论认为,它源于比利·B·范在1890年代杂耍节目中创造的角色 Patsy Bolivar,每当出了什么问题就会怪罪他。

"Poor Rogers," Vincent said, still smiling, "he is always the 'Patsy Bolivar' of the school."
"Yes," Frank answered, "if there are any mistakes to be made or trouble to fall into, Rogers seems to be always the victim."
["Anthony Yorke," "A College Boy," 1899]
“文森特笑着说,‘可怜的罗杰斯,他总是学校的“帕齐·博利瓦尔”’。”
“‘是的,’弗兰克回答道,‘如果有什么错误要犯或者有麻烦要遇到,罗杰斯似乎总是受害者。’”
【安东尼·约克,“大学男孩”,1899年】
