  如果你知道chum表示“(男孩之间的)好朋友”的话,你也许会奇怪chum change(一笔小钱)这种说法与chum有何渊源呢?


  其实chum还有一个意思就是“鱼饵”,尤指切成小块作饵的鱼,所以chumming就表示你想用不值钱的小鱼作饵,来诱捕价值较高的大鱼。既然chum表示那些像“垃圾”一样便宜的小鱼,那么chum change被用来表示“一笔无足轻重的小钱”也就不足为奇了。


  chum表示“亲密朋友”的含义早在17世纪就出现了,是英国学生对chamber mate(室友)的缩写。至于“鱼饵”的含义,最早出现在19世纪中叶,其起源也许与生活在太平洋西北海域的马苏大麻哈鱼(chum salmon 1 )有关。
