英语词汇man without a country的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

man without a country. Contrary to what many people have believed since grade school, Edward Everett Hale’s famous story “The Man Without a Country” is fictional. Only the name of the main character is real. In the story Lt. Philip Nolan cries out, “Damn the United States! I wish I may never hear of the United States again!” and is of course sentenced to sail the seas all his life on a Navy ship without ever hearing his country’s name again. Nothing like this ever happened to the real Philip Nolan, an adventurer whose career Hale used as background. Hale later regretted using the man’s name and wrote a book called Philip Nolan’s Friends (1876), “to repair my fault, and to recall to memory a brave man,” as he put it.
