英语词汇chop-chop的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	chop-chop
词源	chop-chop. Noticing how fast the Chinese ate with chop- sticks, 19th-century traders in China adopted the “chop” from the word chopsticks and invented the pidgin English expression chop chop—“quick, fast, or make it snappy.” The word chopsticks itself is a corruption of the Chinese name for the eating imple- ments, k’wai-tse, which means “the quick or nimble ones.” See long time no see.
