英语词汇sos的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

SOS. SOS doesn’t stand for “Save Our Ship,” “Save Our Souls,” or “Stop Other Signals.” The letters, adopted in 1908 by interna- tional agreement, actually mean nothing at all and were chosen only because they are so simple for a wireless operator to re- member and transmit in Morse code—three dits (dots), three dahs (dashes) and three dits ( . . . - - - . . . ). The doctrine of re- semblances suggested this term to hungry G.I.’s during World War II. It is the abbreviation of shit on a shingle, the creamed chipped beef on toast so often served in messhalls. See cqd.
