  Soup 1 and fish,看着这两个词,有没有感觉到要流口水了呀?可是在今天的词汇讲解里它们可不是美食呦,soup and fish是一个英语俚语,意思是“男士无尾半正式晚礼服”。


  为什么soup and fish会用来指代晚礼服,这还得从19世纪上层社会的晚宴说起。由于出席此类晚宴的人都是达官贵人,因此他们的着装都很正式。男士会穿无尾半正式晚礼服或扎白色领结穿燕尾服。这种晚宴以其复杂烦琐的菜肴而闻名,在主要的菜肴上席之前,会分别先上两道菜:汤和鱼。


  于是人们就带有讽刺意味地用soup and fish比喻这类礼节繁琐的晚礼服场合,后来,soup and fish就用来指“男士无尾半正式晚礼服”或在正式场合穿的服装了。
