翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク See a man about a dog ： ウィキペディア英語版 See a man about a dog To see a man about a dog (or see a man about a horse) is an English language colloquialism, usually used as a way to say one needs to apologize for one's imminent departure or absence – generally euphemistically to conceal one's true purpose, such as going to use the toilet or going to buy a drink. The original, non-facetious meaning was probably to place or settle a bet on a racing dog. == Historical usage == The earliest confirmed publication is the 1866 Dion Boucicault play ''Flying Scud''〔 First performance Holborn Theatre Royal, London on October 6, 1866: ''The Times'', 8 October, 1866; pg. 7; Issue 25623; col F. First U.S. production at Wallack’s Theatre on April 24, 1867: ''The New York Times'' 25 April, 1867〕 in which a character knowingly breezes past a difficult situation saying, "Excuse me Mr. Quail, I can't stop; I've got to see a man about a dog."〔 In a listing for a 1939 revival on the NBC Radio program ''America's Lost Plays'', ''Time'' magazine observed that the phrase was the play's "claim to fame". During Prohibition in the United States, the phrase was most commonly used in relation to the consumption or purchase of alcoholic beverages. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「See a man about a dog」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
