| 词源 | man Friday; girl Friday. The cheerful, hardworking com- panion of Robinson Crusoe in the 1719 novel of that title by Daniel Defoe gives his name to both man Friday, “a male gen- eral helper,” and his modern-day female counterpart. Girl Fri- day is more often gal Friday today. All of these expressions can now be considered demeaning. |
