英语词汇don’t fence me in的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

don’t fence me in. Give me freedom, elbow room—an ex- pression and a song often associated with the American West. Originally don’t fence me in was a line in a poem written by Bob Fletcher, a westerner. Cole Porter bought the rights to the poem, revised the lyrics, and wrote the music for the song, which wasn’t used until a decade later, in the film Hollywood Canteen (1944). The next year it was featured in the Roy Rog- ers’s movie Don’t Fence Me In. “Meanwhile, in a sad irony,” Frank Richard Prassel notes in The Great American Outlaw (1993), “Porter had been left crippled by a riding accident.”
