英语词汇john hancock的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

John Hancock. If John Hancock had done nothing else, he would be remembered for his big, bold, belligerent signature, the first on the Declaration of Independence, writ “so big no Britisher would have to use his spectacles to read it.” “King John” Hancock (1737–93), also known as the King of Smug- glers, was a Revolutionary patriot who led local merchants in protesting the Stamp Act, heading as he did the largest mercan- tile firm in Boston. Immensely popular in his own lifetime, he became a major general of militia, a member and president of the Continental Congress, and, except for one term, was elected annually as governor of Massachusetts from 1780 until his death. His name, as everyone knows, is commonly used to mean a signature or as a synonym for name itself. See john henry.
