英语词汇beastly drunk的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

beastly drunk. The first recorded use of beastly drunk seems to have been by John Bristed in Anthroplanomenus, being an account of a pedestrian tour through part of the Highlands of Scotland (1803): “He . . . comes home every morning about two or three o’clock quite beastly drunk.” But Jonathan Swift in 1709 wrote of the “beastly sin of drinking to excess.” And Thomas Nashe in his Pierce Pennilesse . . . (1592) gives descrip- tions of eight types of drunks, comparing many of them to wild beasts, such as the “Lion drunke [who] flings the pot about the house, calls his hostess whore, breaks the glass windowes with his dagger . . .” Nashe’s work may have first suggested the ex- pression, even if he didn’t use the exact words.
