英语词汇fox-trot的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	fox-trot
词源	fox-trot. One story has it that actor Harry Fox’s original trot- ting type of dance was a show-stopper in a 1913 Broadway hit musical. The show’s producers realized the dance had promo- tional value and hired the noted social dancing teacher Oscar Duryea to modify it and introduce it as the Fox Trot to the pub- lic. This he did and the fox-trot has been America’s most popu- lar slow dance ever since. The story does jibe with the fact that the term is first recorded as Fox (with a capital F) trot in an RCA Victor Catalog in 1915.
