英语词汇hearts and flowers的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	hearts and flowers
词源	hearts and flowers. A synonym for sentimentality that was first the title of a popular 1910 American song. Overuse of the song as background music played by violinists in sentimental dramas led to its title becoming synonymous with the overly sentimental. People began playing imaginary violins while humming “Hearts and Flowers” whenever they heard a sad sto- ry. Soon the song itself was forgotten and only the phrase and the mock playing of violins remained.
