词汇 all aboard
词源
all aboard! This common train conductor’s call is an Ameri- canism, first recorded in 1837, and is nautical in origin. Wrote Joshua T. Smith in his Journal in America (1837): “They [the Americans] describe a situation by the compass ‘talk of the voyage’ of being ‘all aboard’ & etc.; this doubtless arises from all their ancestors having come hither over ocean & having in the voyage acquired nautical language.” The call all aboard! was used on riverboats here before it was used on trains.
