英语词汇quisling的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

quisling; quisle. Of the men and women whose names have become synonyms for traitor only Vidkun Quisling’s has shed its capital letter in the dictionaries. A quisling is universal for “a traitorous puppet of the enemy” and was one of the most quickly adopted of modern additions to the language, even inspiring the little-used verb quisle, which means “to betray one’s country.” Maj. Vidkun Quisling (1887–1945) earned his rank in the Norwegian army, having served as military at- taché in Russia and Finland. An ardent fascist, he formed the National Unity Party shortly after Hitler came to power in 1933, but never attracted more than a minuscule following, most Norwegians considering him mentally unbalanced. Then the Nazis invaded Norway on April 8–9, 1940, and the ridiculous lunatic of the right came into power. Brutally sup- pressing all opposition, he assumed King Haakon’s throne in the palace and drove around in a bulletproof limousine presented to him by Hitler. A megalomaniac who ordered pictures of himself hung everywhere and refused to eat off anything but gold dishes, he was so paranoid that 150 bodyguards accom- panied him at all times and every scrap of food he ate was sampled by someone else first. After the war, he was tried for treason, murder, and theft, found guilty on all counts, and shot by a firing squad, Norway changing its law against capital punishment for this purpose.
