英语词汇animal spirits的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	animal spirits
词源	animal spirits. Novelist Jane Austen (1775–1817) may have coined the term animal spirits in its sense of an excess of exu- berant energy; vivacity; good humor. In any case, as Weekley notes, the expression is first recorded in this sense in her novel Pride and Prejudice, published in 1813, but which she wrote some 15 years earlier.
