英语词汇hip hip hurrah的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

hip! hip! hurrah! The old story here can be taken for what it’s worth, which isn’t much. Hip, we’re told, derives from the ini- tials of the Latin words Hiersolyma est perdita, “Jerusalem is destroyed.” German knights, not a very bright bunch, were supposed to have known this and shouted hip, hip! when they hunted Jews in the persecutions of the Middle Ages. Hurrah! by the same strained imagining, is said to be a corruption of the Slavonic word for Paradise (hu-raj). Therefore, if you ever shout hip! hip! hurrah! you are supposedly shouting: “Jerusalem is de- stroyed [the infidels are destroyed] and we are on the road to Paradise!” There is not the slightest proof for any of this, and the phrase, which doesn’t date back earlier than the late 18th century, almost certainly comes to us from the exclamation hip, hip, hip! earlier used in toasts and cheers, and huzza, an imita- tive sound expressing joy and enthusiasm.
