词汇 the thug
词源
The Thug. He’s been shot to pieces by police hundreds of thousands of times over the last 40 years, but this paper target, first used in New York City, has become the best-known in the United States. Officially, his name is Advanced Silhouette SP- 83A, but no one calls him that. Some say he was named after various police officers he bore a resemblance to when the tar- gets were adopted (namely New York officers Fred V. Worell and Bruno Fulginiti). Others opt for the actor Ernest Borgnine, very popular at the time and still working, but the target is usu- ally called The Thug among lawmen at firing ranges. According to one account (New York Times, February 17, 2005), The Thug has hardly changed over all these years, a husky, crouching tough guy, a gun in his right hand, “maybe a little German, maybe a little Italian, some Irish, with his pug nose and his thick head of dark wavy hair.”
