英语词汇führer的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

führer; Hitler; Schicklgruber. Before Adolf Hitler preached his doctrines of the “master race” and The Thousand Year Reich, Führer was simply a German word for “leader.” But Nazi blood purges, millions dead in gas chambers and concentration camps, towns like Lidice wiped off the map, and planned world con- quest made both his name and title symbols for terror, horror, and evil, synonyms for a mad tyrant or megalomaniac. Der Führer was the title Hitler chose when he combined the offices of president and chancellor in 1934. Hitler is said to have com- mitted suicide in his Berlin bunker in 1945, aged 56, but legends persist that he still lives, which indeed he does, if only symboli- cally. Schicklgruber is another word often used to describe someone like him, but contrary to widespread belief, it was not his legal name—Hitler’s father, Alois, an illegitimate child, bore his mother’s name, Schicklgruber, for a time, but changed it to Hitler, his father’s name, before Adolf was born. A Hitler or a Mr. or Mrs. Hitler is a blustering, domineering person.
