英语词汇run the table的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

run the table. In a Times Magazine William Safire column (On Language 11/4/01) Tom Shaw, managing editor of Pool and Billiard Magazine, advised that this term comes from the game of pool and means “to clear the table of all the balls and thereby to win the game.” He also dates the term back about 40 years. Memories of my misspent youth at Dapper Dan’s, the lo- cal pool emporium, assure me that the expression dates back at least 60 years, maybe 70, although the expression wasn’t much used outside the pool room at the time.
