英文词源

Boche: Boche: see cabbage
Boche (n.): "German soldier in World War I," 1914, perhaps from French slang boche "rascal," applied to the Germans; a word of unknown origin. Another theory traces it to French Allemand "German," in eastern French Al(le)moche, altered contemptuously to Alboche by association with caboche, a slang word for "head," literally "cabbage" (compare tete de boche, French for "German" in an 1887 slang dictionary). All the French terms are no older than mid-19c.

1. The American soldier went to the front again andputand sent to some Boche prison.: 那个美国士兵再次上了前线,但却成了俘虏,被押进德国鬼子的监狱.
