英语词汇yeah yeah的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	yeah yeah
词源	yeah, yeah. It is said that about 30 years ago English philoso- pher Stuart Hampshire observed that “in all languages a double negative made a positive, but not the reverse,” and American philosopher Sidney Morganbesser was heard to reply “Yeah, yeah.” Another good reply would have been the current sar- casm, “Yeah, right.” A no-no, something impermissible, is also an exception to Professor Hampshire’s rule.
