英语词汇chip in的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

chip in; blue-chip, etc. Poker chips are the basis of a number of English expressions. To chip in, “to share expenses,” derives from the practice of each player putting up his ante of chips at the start of the card game and chipping in with each bet. To cash in one’s chips, or hand, that is, “to die,” comes from the end of a poker game, when players turn in their chips to the cashier for money. In the chips, “affluent,” refers to having a lot of poker chips, and the chips are down, signifying a situation of urgency, means literally that all bets are in the pot, the hand is over and the cards now have to be shown to determine the winning hand. All of these expressions date back to the 19th century, when poker became our national card game. So does a blue- chip stock, a high-priced common stock that pays high divi- dends consistently over a long period, which derives from poker’s highest-valued blue chips.
