| 词汇 | god-s little acre |
| 词源 | God’s little acre. Most readers know this phrase as a title of a novel by Erskine Caldwell published in 1933 to much acclaim, just as his Tobacco Road was before it. But “God’s acre” had been a synonym for a cemetery or churchyard many years be- fore God’s Little Acre was made into a play and a movie. It was also one of the first American works to deal with sexual themes. |
