英语词汇bibliobibuli的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

bibliobibuli. This little-known word was coined by that great lover of language, H. L. Mencken, who defined it thus: “There are people who read too much: The bibliobibuli. I know some who are constantly drunk on books, as other men are drunk on whiskey or religion. They wander through this most diverting and stimulating of worlds in a haze, seeing nothing and hear- ing nothing.” Wrote Anatole France: “We live too much in books and not enough in nature, and we are very much like that simpleton of a Pliny the Younger, who went on studying a Greek author while before his eyes Vesuvius was overwhelming five cities beneath the ashes.” See bookworm.
