词汇 god save the queen king
词源
“God save the Queen” (King). The saying is found in the Old Testament, was used in the British navy, and by the 17th century became the basis for what is now the British national anthem (perhaps written by Dr. John Bull). The melody of “God Save the Queen” (King) has been appropriated for patri- otic songs by 19 other countries, including Germany and the U.S. No one has used the words more memorably than English author John Stubbs (ca. 1541–90), who attacked Queen Eliza- beth in his pamphlet THE DISCOURSE OF A GAPING GULF WHERE INTO ENGLAND IS LIKELY TO BE SWALLOWED BY ANOTHER FRENCH MARRIAGE. His pamphlet was burned in a public bonfire, and the author’s right hand was hacked off with a meat cleaver at the same time. Stubbs is said to have immediately raised his hat with his left hand and cried, “God save the Queen!”
