英语词汇cyrano de bergerac的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Cyrano de Bergerac. The most famous proboscis in history. Anyone with a prodigious nose is likely to be called a Cyrano de Bergerac after the eponymous hero of Edmond Rostand’s play of the same name (1897). Rostand’s hero was based on the very real Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac (1619–55), who had a nose as long as his fictional counterpart’s and whose exploits were even more remarkable. The historical Cyrano was a brave soldier, great lover, and eloquent, influential writer of comedies and tragedies. This swaggering swordsman fought countless duels with those foolish enough to insult or even mention his nose, and his duel single-handedly against 100 enemies while serving as an officer in the Guards is a well-documented fact. Cyrano’s exploits became legend long before Rostand fictional- ized him. Surprisingly, he did not perish on the wrong end of a sword. Cyrano died as a result of a wound caused by a falling beam or stone while staying at the home of a friend.
