scot-free免于受罚的

该词表示“免于受罚的,未受损害的”。如:

Don’t think you’ll get off scot-free just because your Dad’s a policeman!

不要以为你爸爸是个警察,你就可以免于受罚!

该词的产生可追溯至13世纪,但和苏格兰人(Scots)或苏格兰(Scotland)没有关联。scot(源自古诺尔斯语skot)是当时政府征收的一种税,scot-free表示“免付税的”。后来,scot也被用以指顾客在小酒馆里所欠的酒钱。

英语词源

scot-free

像 hopscotch (“跳房子”游戏)一样, scot-free 一词在词源上与苏格兰或苏格兰人没有什么联系。其中 scot 不指苏格兰人,它原指从12世纪至18世纪英国征收的一种税,英语短语 scot and lot 即指旧时按支付能力征收的居民税, scot-free 则是“免付税的”之意,当时人们常用 get off scot-free 一语来形容那些逃税的人。

scot-free 始用于16世纪,以后词义逐渐延伸,如今多表示“免于受罚的”或“未受损害的”、“安然无恙的”等义。过去英国的小酒店常将顾客所欠酒钱用记号标示( scotch )于石板上, scot-free 一词得以使用至今多少归因于这种做法。
