英语词汇soup and fish的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	soup and fish
词源	soup and fish. Dating back to 19th-century America, this term for formal white-tie dinner clothes probably derives from the obsolete American term soup and fish, for a lavish dinner of many courses. Soup and fish for an elaborate dinner, in turn, is apparently related to the still common expression from soup to nuts, but this last term seems to have been first recorded in the 1920s.
