英语词汇get a horse的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	get a horse
词源	get a horse! A phrase from the early age of the automobile in the U.S. when motor cars were often mired in ditches or chugged slowly down the street, and people, especially chil- dren, would shout “get a horse!” to the motorists manning them. The phrase is not obsolete as some writers have it. I have heard it directed at runners or joggers several times in the last few years—mostly by children.
