英语词汇bob ruly的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	bob ruly
词源	bob ruly. American pioneers called a burned out area a bob ruly, which leads some to think that the term might have been named after a notorious firebug of old. But bob ruly, first re- corded in 1848, though older, is just how the French words bois brulé, “burned woods,” sounded to American ears.
