翻看董乐山和刘炳章的《英汉美国社会知识小词典》,发现了一个有趣的词条raw meat,词典给出的释义为:
“指一篇讲话中有意取悦听众的话(就像扔给动物的一块肉一样)”
"Let's give'em some raw meat" is defined as an instruction to deal with matters that will an audience, like a lion, roar its approval. --William Safire
查看了多本词典均未发现有类似的释义和例证。
网上搜索,Google给出的资料都是说“生肉”。看到唯一接近的是一个网站的名称为Raw Meat,专门逗人开心的。
