| 词汇 | blacklist |
| 词源 | blacklist; white list. The blacklist is centuries old, having originated with a list England’s Charles II made of 58 judges and court officers who sentenced his father, Charles I, to death in 1649. When Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660, 13 of these regicides were executed and 25 sentenced to life im- prisonment, while the others escaped. The white list is not quite the opposite of a blacklist, usually being a list, often kept by unions, of people suitable for employment. |
