英语词汇large as life的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	large as life
词源	large as life. We owe this popular phrase to one of Thomas C. Haliburton’s Sam Slick tales, The Clockmaker (1837), in which Sam Slick of Slicksville says of another character: “He marched up and down afore the street door like a peacock, as large as life and twice as natural.” Sam’s words became a popular catch- phrase in America and still survive in both the original and ab- breviated versions.
