英语词汇bloody mary的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Bloody Mary. It is said, without much proof being offered, that this cocktail made from vodka and tomato juice takes its name from Mary I or Mary Tudor (1516–58), queen of En- gland, who was nicknamed Bloody Mary. Not because she drank the concoctions (for one thing tomatoes were unknown in England at the time), but because she had some 300 of her subjects put to death during her reign, including a former queen and the archbishop of Canterbury. Another story claims that the potent drink was invented at the famous Har- ry’s Bar in Paris in 1920 and named by an anonymous Ameri- can expatriate who proposed that it be called the Bloody Mary because it reminded him of the Bucket of Blood Club in Chi- cago and he had a girl named Mary. The drink has since be- come famous as a hangover “remedy,” the foremost example of the hair-of-the-dog-that-bit-you school. According to an article in USA Today on December 10, 1985, “The Bloody Mary made its debut in an ad that appeared in late December 1955. In it [New York entertainer] George Jessel declared that he invented the drink at 5 one morning.” Bloody Mary is also the name of a character in James Michener’s Tales of the South Pacific (1946).
