英语词汇barmecide-s feast的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Barmecide’s feast. A Barmecide’s feast is an illusion of plenty, figuratively a poor meal leaving much to the imagination. The expression comes from the “Story of the Barber’s Sixth Brother” in the Arabian Nights. A rich noble named Barmecide (based on one of a real family of Baghdad princes) served the beggar Schacabac course after course of imaginary dishes, pretending that the empty golden plates he set before his guest constituted a sumptuous feast. Schacabac got the better of the prince, pre- tending to enjoy each course and finally boxing his host’s ears while feigning drunkenness from the illusory wine. So amused was Prince Barmecide that he gave the beggar a real banquet, but his name is remembered for the first, imaginary meal.
