mondegreen溯源

mondegreen的意思是“误听”。关于它的来源比较有趣。原来,它是由英国作家Sylvia wright杜撰出来的。她在一篇文章中说,她曾将Thomas Percy的苏格兰民谣The Earl of Murrary(Ye Highlands andYe Lowlands / Oh Where hae you been? / They hae siaine the Earl of Murray / And hae layd him on thegreen.)的最后两行误听为They have slaine the Earlof Murrary and lady Mondegreen。
