Nickname given to the United States government. There are various theories about its origin, but it is believed to have started as a derogatory term given to the military by people opposed to the war in 1812. It is personified and wears a hat with stars in it, in reference to the Stars and Stripes banner, and striped pants and shirt. It also appears on posters recruiting volunteers, and is often used to boost patriotism. [Sarutani Kaname] Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
アメリカ合衆国政府につけられたニックネーム。その起源には諸説あるが,1812年の対英戦争のとき,戦争に反対する人たちが軍隊をさげすんで呼んだのが始まりとされている。擬人化されて,星条旗にちなんで星が並んだ帽子をかぶり,縞目を描いたズボンとシャツをつけて,志願兵募集のポスターにも現れ,愛国心を高揚するときに使われることが多い。【猿谷 要】
