英语词汇lindy的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Lindy. Even today’s astronauts returning from the moon did not receive the hero worship heaped upon Charles Augustus Lindbergh when he made the first solo flight across the Atlan- tic on May 20–21, 1927, in his Spirit of St. Louis. Lindbergh was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his 331⁄2- hour nonstop flight from New York to Paris, promoted to colo- nel in the Air Force, and received the French Cross of the Le- gion of Honor, the English Royal Air Force Cross, and the American Distinguished Flying Cross among hundreds of na- tional and international honors. There had never been such adulation and perhaps there never will be again—in June 1927 alone, it is reported, Lindbergh received 3,500,000 letters, 14,000 parcels, and 100,000 telegrams. The Hero, the Lone Ea- gle, Lucky Lindy, the Flying Fool symbolized the beginning of a new technical age that in itself made great personal heroism less likely. Lindbergh’s unprecedented fame even resulted in the lindy or lindy hop, a jitterbug dance very popular up until the mid-1950s, being named in his honor. His name made headlines again in 1932 with the tragic kidnapping and killing of his infant son, for which Bruno Richard Hauptmann was found guilty and which led to the Lindbergh Law passed by Congress in 1934. The law made all kidnappings across state lines and the use of the mails for ransom communications fed- eral offenses.
