词汇 | have a good nice day |
词源 | have a good (nice) day. As William Safire points out in On Language (1980), Chaucer used the expression “Fare well, have a good day” in “The Knight’s Tale” of the Canterbury Tales (1387). It is still common today, with the variation have a nice day probably even more prevalent since about 1970. Writers have railed against both banal expressions, but they are harm- less enough and usually said with good feeling. |
