英语词汇a fade barn的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

a fade barn. Of all the major American dialects, the south- ern is the most consistently difficult to translate. Among the most amusing examples is the expression a fade barn that the editors of the Dictionary of American Regional English tried to track down for a couple of years. The editors knew that the ex- pression existed because field interviews had recorded it in North Carolina without establishing its meaning. When a Raleigh newspaper joined in the search, the answer was quickly apparent. Dozens of correspondents chided the editors for not knowing, in the words of one North Carolinian, that “a fade barn is what you stow fade [feed] for the livestock.”
