英语词汇barge in的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

barge in. Useful but clumsy flat-bottomed barges, probably named from an early Celtic word for boat, have been common in England since medieval times. These shallow-water craft are often pulled through canals by conventional vessels or by ani- mals on the bank. But accidents involving the unwieldy vessels were frequent; they were constantly bumping into other boats. By the late 19th century, English schoolboys were using the slang term barge, “to hustle a person,” to barge about someone, bump him or move him heavily about. It is this practice, far re- moved from the water but related to barges, that led to the ex- pression to barge in—to clumsily or rudely intercede, to butt in—that originated in the early 1900s.
