英语词汇teddy bear的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

teddy bear. Brooklyn candy store owner Morris Michtom fashioned the first teddy bear out of brown plush in 1902 and named it after President Theodore Roosevelt. Michtom’s inspi- ration was a cartoon by Washington Post cartoonist Clifford K. Berryman called “Drawing the Line in Mississippi” that had been reprinted throughout the country. Based on a news story about an expedition Teddy Roosevelt made to hunt bears near the Little Sunflower River in Mississippi, it showed the old Rough Rider with his back turned to a helpless bear cub. Gal- lant Teddy, it had been reported, refused to kill and even set free the small brown bear that his obliging hosts had stunned and tied to a tree for him to shoot. Apocryphal or not, the story enhanced Roosevelt’s reputation as a conservationist and made Michtom rich.
