词源

barmaid (n.)

"酒吧女招待",1650年代,来自 bar(n.2)+ maid。

The one employment from which Americans turn their faces in righteous horror is that of the barmaid. They consider it a degrading position, and can not understand how English people reconcile with their professions of Christianity the barbarous practice of exposing women to the atmosphere of a liquor bar at a railway station, where they must often run the gauntlet of the insolent attentions of the "half-intoxicated masher," endure vulgar familiarity, and overhear low conversation. [Emily Faithfull, "Three Visits to America," 1884]
“唯一一项美国人以正义的恐惧面对的职业是酒吧女招待。他们认为这是一种有辱人格的职位,无法理解英国人如何将暴露于火车站酒吧的女性与他们的基督教信仰相调和,女性们必须经常冒着“半醉的花花公子”的傲慢关注,忍受粗俗的亲近,听到低俗的谈话。” [艾米莉·费思福尔,《三次访问美国》,1884年]
最早记录年份: 1650s
