英语词汇lampoon的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

lampoon. The French lampons, “let us drink,” is said to be the source of our lampoon, for a sharp or scurrilous satire ridi- culing someone or something. The source suggests the coarse- ness and crudity of the form, which dates only from the 17th century and is used more in graphic caricature than in prose or verse—although there are notable examples in literature, in- cluding Pope’s attack on Hervey in Epistle to Arbuthnot. Libel laws today make it much more difficult for a writer to really lampoon someone.
