英语词汇keep on truckin’的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

keep on truckin’. Keep going, keep moving, don’t quit. Ety- mologist Joseph T. Shipley wrote that the expression “comes from the great marathon dance contests that were a part of our 1930s scene, when all the partners clung to one another, half- asleep, but on and on moving around the dance hall through the night, like the great trucks that go endlessly across our con- tinent through the dark hours, as they ’keep on truckin’ for the prize.” This scene was brilliantly depicted in the movie They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? (1969).
