英语词汇st boniface-s cup的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

St. Boniface’s cup. Anyone who wants an excuse for an extra drink from time to time might do well to revive the custom of St. Boniface’s cup. The expression derives from an indulgence granted by Pope Boniface VI or Pope Boniface I to anyone who drank to his good health. A St. Boniface’s cup was long an ex- cuse for another one of the same. The phrase is not related to boniface, for “an innkeeper,” which we owe to the convivial landlord of that name in the comedy The Beaux’ Strategem (1707) by Irish playwright George Farquhar.
