英语词汇snapshot的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	snapshot
词源	snapshot. Snapshot was originally a hunting term for a hur- ried shot taken without deliberate aim, especially at rapidly moving game. It was first recorded in an 1808 entry in the diary of a British Colonel Hawke, who wrote: “Almost every pheasant I fired at was a snapshot among the high cover.” It wasn’t for over 50 years that the term was used in photography to mean “a quick photo” taken with a hand camera, this meaning the only one heard today.
