英语词汇eleanor blue的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Eleanor blue. Like alice blue, this color is named for a Roose- velt, in this case, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962), whose dresses popularized the dark blue shade while she was “first lady of the world.” Eleanor Roosevelt married her distant cousin Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1905, two weeks after her uncle, Theodore Roosevelt, had been inaugurated as president. When F.D.R. was stricken with polio, she encouraged him to overcome his handicap and return to politics. He became the only man ever to be elected to the presidency four times, breaking the two- term tradition, and from 1933 to 1945, when he died, Eleanor was by far the most active first lady in American history. Among many activities, she wrote the syndicated newspaper column “My Day” and traveled extensively abroad on good-will mis- sions. Outspoken on all important issues, she remained active even after her husband’s death, serving as a delegate to the U.N. general assembly and chairman of the U.S. Commission on Hu- man Rights. Orphaned at 10 and starved for love and affection in her childhood, Mrs. Roosevelt nevertheless became one of the most compassionate human beings of modern times, always an enemy of prejudice and poverty despite her aristocratic origins.
