Noun:
a person who is not very intelligent or interested in culture关于yokel的由来，一般词典都标上“不确定”uncertain的字样。有的辞书认为，乡巴佬之所以被称为yokel可能源出乡下人驱赶的耕牛脖子上的yoke轭或源于乡下人肩上的yoke轭形扁担。
另有两种说法，听起来也颇有道理。其一，yokel的由来可以追溯到Jacob这一名字。昔日在波希米亚Jacob拼作Jokel，读如‘yokel’，由于该名字在农村比较普遍，所以城里人便将它用作对乡下人的蔑称在德语Jokel即为“农民”的蔑称。其二，在英格兰的农村地区人们称绿啄木鸟green woodpecker为yokel，因为其鸣叫声听起来就像“Yo-Kel”；到了19世纪初英格兰人开始称乡下人为yokel，因为乡下人生活在可以听到yokel鸣叫的地方。GRE红宝书yoken 牛轭, l: 用牛轭的人－乡巴佬读: 游寇－乡巴佬
