词汇 | Strine |
释义 | Strine noun broad Australian English, specifically that form of Australian English which appeared in the books of Alastair Morrison. 'Strine' is supposedly how the word 'Australian' is said in the Australian accent. It is not a separate language or dialect, but rather a jocular celebration of the Australian accent utilising respelling, shifting word boundaries and much elision to give the impression that other words are being spoken, e.g. sly drool is Strine for 'slide rule', Emma Chisit for 'how much is it?', laze and gem for 'ladies and gentlemen', let stalk Strine for 'let's talk Australian' AUSTRALIA, 1964 |
