| 词源 | Pooterish. The Diary of a Nobody (1892) has long been a fa- vorite novel of many readers and has been called “immortal.” Written by the brothers George and Weedon Grossmith, it re- counts the life of Charles Pooter and his wife, Carrie, in early 1890s England. Pooter can be called many things, but when someone is described as “Pooterish” it usually means he is a trivial, over-sensitive person who reveres the wealthy. |
