词汇 | underdog |
词源 | underdog. Underdog appears to have originated in a popular 19th century song by David Barker called “The Under-Dog in the Fight,” two stanzas of which follow: I know that the world, that the great big world Will never a moment stop To see which dog may be in the fault, But will shout for the dog on top. But for me, I shall never pause to ask Which dog may be in the right, For my heart will beat, while it beats at all, For the under dog in the fight. |
