词源 | horses famous in history. There are surely hundreds, but I’ve limited my choices to a dozen: Black Bess—English outlaw Dick Turpin’s horse; Black Nell—Wild Bill Hickok; bucepha- lus; Copenhagen—duke of Wellington; Incitatus—emperor caligula; Man-O-War—race horse; Pegasus—Perseus; Rosinante—Don Quixote; Silver—Lone Ranger; Traveller— Robert E. Lee; Trigger—Roy Rogers. And finally, the only talk- ing horse in the stable: TV’s Mr. Ed, who was watched by tens of millions in a 1960s sitcom, the horse “actor” who portrayed him dying in 1973 and Sherman Allman, his singing voice, dy- ing in 2002. The songs Mr. Allman wrote and sang included “The Pretty Little Filly With the Pony Tail” and “The Empty Feedbag Blues.” Mr. Ed’s talking voice was provided by Alan Lane. |
