Lee at the Battle of Fredericksburg 1824-1881facial hair that has grown down the side of a man's face in front of the ears especially when the rest of the beard is shaved off得名于美国南北战争时期北方军队将领安布罗斯·伯恩赛德Ambrose Burnside,1824-1881将军。伯恩赛德是美国罗德岛人,是一名军人、发明家、实业家及政治家。在南北战争期间,他担任陆军准将,战绩不佳,经历过好几次战役的惨败。让他出名的并非他在战场上的表现,而是他独具风格的大胡子。他喜欢在嘴唇上方和腮边蓄留毛茸茸的大胡子,而将下巴刮得光溜溜的。因此,人们就用他的姓氏来命名这种胡子,称为burnsides,后面加了复数名词后缀-s。burnsides从字面上很容易让人联想到“烧焦的脸颊”burn sides,这与伯恩赛德将军在战场上屡战屡败、灰头灰脸的狼狈形象十分符合。as in.whiskers 同义词 bristles,goatee,mustache,sideburns,stubblemuttonchops,side whiskers whiskersnoun beard bristles,goatees,mustaches,muttonchops,side whiskers,sideburns,stubble |
