英语词汇according to hoyle的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

according to Hoyle. A Short Treatise on the Game of Whist by Englishman Edmond Hoyle, apparently a barrister and minor legal official in Ireland, was published in 1742. This was the first book to systemize the rules of whist and remained the absolute authority for the game until its rules were changed in 1864. The author also wrote Hoyle’s Standard Games, which extended his range, has been republished hundreds of times, and is available in paperback today. The weight of his authority through these works led to the phrase according to Hoyle becoming not only a proverbial synonym for the accuracy of game rules but an idi- om for correctness in general. History tells us little about Hoyle, but he enjoyed his eponymous fame for many years, living until 1769, when he died at age 97 or so. Hoyle is responsible for popularizing the term score as a record of winning points in games, a relatively recent innovation. “When in doubt, win the trick,” is his most memorable phrase.
