英语词汇all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. Several sources credit this coinage to George Orwell in his 1945 classic Animal Farm. However, William Safire in his New York Times “On Language” column (November 5, 2006) attributes the invention to American author Ambrose Bierce in the San Francisco Wasp of September 16, 1882. Bierce (1842– 1914) was the author of a large body of work, including The Cynic’s Word Book (1906); The Devil’s Dictionary (1911); and Fantastic Fables (1899). William Safire’s piece points out that the soon-to-be-published Yale Book of Quotations will contain the Bierce attribution, which reads exactly “All men are created equal. Some, it appears, are created a little more equal than oth- ers.” Thomas Jefferson, of course, used the stirring “all men are created equal” in the Declaration of Independence.
