英语词汇pander的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

pander. Boccaccio, Chaucer, and Shakespeare all wrote about Pandarus, who in classical legend helped the Trojans in their war against the Greeks. In his poem Il Filostrato (1374) Boccac- cio gives Pandarus the role of go-between for the lovers Troilus and Criseyde, a role that Chaucer and Shakespeare also pre- sented in the former’s long poem Troilus and Criseyde (1380?) and the latter’s play Troilus and Cressida (1602). Shakespeare has Pandarus say: “Let all pitiful goers-between be called to the world’s end after my name; call them all Pandars.” So they are still called, with a slight change in spelling, but besides its meaning of a go-between in sexual intrigues, or procurer, pan- der has also come to mean to cater to the lower tastes and de- sires of others.
