英语词汇home sweet home的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	home sweet home
词源	home, sweet home. “Home, Sweet Home,” its words written by John Howard Payne in 1823, may have used the melody of an old Italian folk song that Englishman Henry Bishop adapted when he wrote the music. Payne received 250 pounds from an English producer for the words and other material, the song first sung in a popular British opera of the time. Legend says that the author wrote the song while homesick in Paris. The Payne family cottage in East Hampton, Long Island, New York is a national landmark today.
