英语词汇amen corner的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

amen corner. A group of fervent believers or ardent follow- ers is called an amen corner, after the similarly named place near the pulpit in churches occupied by those who lead the re- sponsive “amens” to the preacher’s prayers. The term may come from the Amen Corner of London’s Paternoster Row, but it is an almost exclusively American expression today. Also, a name coined by sportswriter Herbert Wind (1916–2005) for “the treacherous stretch of the Augusta National [golf] course on the 11th, 12th and 13th holes,” as his New York Times obituary (June 1, 2005) put it. The name had been suggested to him by the spiritual “Shoutin’ in the Amen Corner,” a jazz record he had bought when in college.
