plimsoll的词源
英文词源
- plimsoll
- plimsoll: [20] The British politician and social reformer Samuel Plimsoll (1824–98) was one of the leading instigators of the Merchant Shipping Act 1876. Amongst its provisions was that a line should be painted round the hulls of ships to indicate a safe limit for loading. This was Plimsoll’s idea, and it became known as the Plimsoll line. It is thought that the word plimsoll was applied to ‘gym shoes’ in allusion to the line running round the shoes formed by the rubber welt or trimming.
- Plimsoll (n.)
- "mark on the hull of a British ship showing how deeply she may be loaded," 1881, from Samuel Plimsoll (1824-1898), M.P. for Derby and advocate of shipping reforms (which were embodied in the Merchant Shipping Act of 1876). Sense extended 1907 to "rubber-soled canvas shoe" (equivalent of American English sneakers) because the band around the shoes that holds the two parts together reminded people of a ship's Plimsoll line; sense perhaps reinforced by sound association with sole (which sometimes influenced the spelling to plimsole). The name is of Huguenot origin.

plimsoll 橡皮底帆布鞋
源于人名。应该议院在议员和社会改革家Samuel Plimsoll(1824-1898)的倡议下于1875年通过商业航运法，规定凡货船均须在船身上标明载重线标志，以表明船只安全载重的最大吃水深度。翌年该法规开始实施，船只载重线标志就以此人的姓氏命名为Plimsoll mark或Plimsoll line。20世纪英国生产的一种橡皮底帆布鞋因其底线形似Plimsoll line,故被称作plimsoll。Plimsoll有时也拼作plimsole,则是因为人们常常把该词和意为“鞋底”的sole一词相联系的缘故。
