英语词汇get one-s ducks in a row的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	get one-s ducks in a row
词源	get one’s ducks in a row. American bowling alleys were the first to introduce duck pins, short slender bowling pins unlike the rotund pins that the English used. Pin boys who set up these pins (before the advent of automatic bowling machines) had the job of getting their ducks in a row. Soon the expression I’ve got my ducks in a row was being used by anyone who had completed any arrangements.
