英语词汇say it ain’t so joe的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

say it ain’t so, Joe. They said “Shoeless Joe” Jackson, a poor boy from South Carolina, played ball without shoes down home, but he put on spikes when he made the majors and be- came a great star, his lifetime average of .356 the third highest in the history of baseball. Shoeless Joe never made Coopers- town’s Hall of Fame, though, and never will. Jackson was one of the eight Chicago White Sox players who conspired with gam- blers to throw the 1919 World Series, after which he was ban- ished from baseball for life. After confessing his role in the af- fair on September 28, 1920, Jackson walked down the steps of the Cook County Courthouse through a crowd of reporters and a ragged little boy grabbed his sleeve and said “Say it ain’t so, Joe.” The phrase is still used in reference to any hero who has betrayed his trust, though Jackson denied that the boy said it.
