英语词汇sam hill的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Sam Hill. If someone could locate any historical record of a Col. Samuel Hill of Guilford, Connecticut, we might find the origin of the phrase go like Sam Hill or run like Sam Hill. Edwin V. Mitchell makes mention of the man in the Encyclopedia of American Politics (1946). It seems that Colonel Hill perpetually ran for office—but no other evidence of his existence can be found. Since no one knows who in the Sam Hill he was, Sam Hill must remain “a personified euphemism our Puritan ances- tors used for ‘hell.’ ”
