| 词汇 | big easy |
| 词源 | Big Easy. Possibly this was originally a jazz term referring to the pleasant, easygoing life in New Orleans. No dictionary rec- ords the fact, but New Orleans’s nickname among its residents is the Big Easy, as is noted in the 1987 film of that name. Some authorities believe that Frank Conaway, who wrote the 1970 novel (also called The Big Easy) that the movie was based upon, coined the term. |
