John Bull
|
It is used as a nickname for a British national or a typical British person. It originally appeared in John Arbuthnot's satirical novel The Story of John Bull (1712) as a representative British cloth merchant. After some changes, it became established as a type of British person who is strong, stubborn, somewhat rustic, and freedom-loving, just as the name Bull indicates.

イギリス国民，あるいは典型的なイギリス人のあだ名として用いられる。本来はジョン･アーバスノットの風刺小説《ジョン･ブル物語》(1712)に，イギリス人を代表する衣料商人として登場する。以後多少の変化を経て，ブル(雄牛)という名前が表すように強くて頑固で，多少田舎風で，しかも自由を愛好するイギリス人の型として定着するようになった。【榎本 太】
