英语词汇sultan of swat的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Sultan of Swat. Baseball’s Babe Ruth, whose name itself is of course a synonym for a great slugger, was called the Sultan of Swat—but not only because he swatted the ball. There was a real Sultan of Swat (a small country now part of Pakistan) whose name was well known thanks to a poem by Edward Lear: “Who, or why, or which, or what/ Is the Akhoond [Sul- tan] of Swat?” The alliterative name probably appealed to some sportswriter in the early 1920s as a natural for the “Bambino” (which Ruth was dubbed when he joined the Boston Red Sox as a pitcher in 1914 when only 19).
