英语词汇on deck的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	on deck
词源	on deck; in the hole. A baseball player batting next in an in- ning is said to be on deck, this obviously an old nautical term put to use on land. So is in the hole for the man scheduled to bat third, this a corruption of in the hold—the reasoning being that the third batter is in the hold, or hole, since the second is on deck. No one knows just how these nautical words were trans- ferred to baseball early in this century.
