词汇	billy the kid
词源	Billy the Kid. One of the most fabled of American gunfight- ers, after William Henry McCarty (1859–81), who took the name William H. Bonney and was dubbed “Billy the Kid” for his youth and small size after he killed his first man when barely 18. He was perhaps the fastest draw in the West, and his shots often hit their mark before his gun was seen to leave his holster. He was killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett, who caught him off guard.
