英语词汇apple slump的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

apple slump. Apple slump, a popular New England dessert, takes on another meaning in Louisa May Alcott’s story “Tran- scendental Wild Oats” (1876), an account of her father Bronson Alcott’s failed utopian community, Fruitlands, 32 years earlier: “ ‘Poor Fruitlands! The name was as great a failure as the rest!’ continued Abel [Bronson Alcott], with a sigh, as a frostbitten apple fell from a leafless bough at his feet. But the sigh changed to a smile as his wife added, in a half-tender, half-satirical tone, ‘Don’t you think Apple Slump would be a better name for it, dear?’ ” The dessert is sometimes called apple pandowdy and flummery. So much did Harriet Beecher Stowe like the dish that she named her Concord, Massachusetts, house Apple Slump.
