bowery (n.)

"农场,种植园",源自荷兰语 bowerij "家庭农场"(与 bower 来源相同); 这个荷兰词在美国除了纽约以外可能很少使用,在那里很快被限制在一条路的名称上,即 The Bowery(1787年被称为如此),从城市的建筑区延伸到曼哈顿中部的种植园; 城市的发展很快就超越了它,到1840年,它成为了一个以肮脏、喧闹和低劣生活臭名昭著的商业区。作为美国喜剧类型的 Bowery boy 在19世纪50年代和1900年左右达到了高峰。

Bowery Boy, the typical New York tough of a generation or two ago, named from the street which he chiefly affected .... He rather prided himself on his uncouthness, his ignorance, and his desperado readiness to fight, but he also loved to have attention called to his courage, his gallantry to women, his patriotic enthusiasm, and his innate tenderness of heart. A fire and a thrilling melodrama called out all his energies and emotions. [Walsh, 1892]
Bowery Boy,是一代或两代前的典型纽约硬汉,以他主要活动的街道命名....他相当自豪于他的粗鲁、无知和他准备好战斗的不良行为,但他也喜欢引起人们对他的勇气、他对妇女的殷勤、他的爱国热情和他内在的心灵柔软的关注。一场火灾和一部扣人心弦的情节剧调动了他所有的精力和情感。[沃尔什,1892年]
最早记录年份: 1787
