| 单词 | jingoism |
| 例句 | jingoism noun •a newspaper known for its jingoism:extreme patriotism, chauvinism, extreme nationalism, xenophobia, flag-waving | hawkishness, militarism, belligerence, bellicosity.WORD NOTE jingoism I don't know why this word has always seemed to me to be onomatopoeic. Somehow the sound of it evokes, for me, the attitude and political stance it describes—an aggressive, bullying, rowdy, and mindless nationalism: The voters worried that the candidate's jingoism might involve the country in a senseless war. In fact, the origin of jingo is thought to be a corruption of Jesus, and by jingo can be traced to a nineteenth-century English music-hall ditty about the foreign policy of the day. I much prefer it to its near relative, chauvinism —named for one of Napoleon's soldiers—with its more refined, deceptively polite, and less boisterous associations. — FPConversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.USAGE See |
