hunky-dory
1. 解詞釋義
它是美國(guó)俚語(yǔ),常用來(lái)表示“頂呱呱的”“沒(méi)問(wèn)題的”之類(lèi)的意思。其英文解釋為:If you say that everythingis hunky-dory, you mean that there are no problems and that everyone is happy。
過(guò)去,美國(guó)海軍的艦艇在日本橫濱的港灣停泊時(shí),士兵們常到橫濱最主要的大街Honcho-dori去游逛。到了那個(gè)地方,士兵們吃喝玩樂(lè),一切都很開(kāi)心。以后當(dāng)士兵們走過(guò)那條街的時(shí)候就隨口說(shuō)出hunky-dory,用以表示“十分令人滿意的心情”。
