英语词汇jobless的意思、翻译、用法及例句-英语用法大全

词组	jobless
释义	jobless Jobless is a fairly new word, first attested in 1919: • ... soldiers who have jobs awaiting them are being held while those who are jobless, in many instances, are being released —Leslie's Weekly, 22 Feb. 1919 A less objectionable coinage is hard to imagine, but Copperud 1980 reports that jobless was formerly criticized "as an unnecessary invention," and Phythian 1979 shows that it still occasionally is: "A word invented by journalists because unemployed takes up too much headline space. This is not sufficient reason for admitting it into the language." Copperud also credits journalists (specifically, headline writers) with having invented jobless, but he finds nothing wrong with that fact or with the word itself. No other critic broaches this subject. We do not know for certain how, why, or by whom jobless was invented, but we do know that it is now common and entirely standard: • ... that jobless scientists and engineers could be put back at work —John Lear, Saturday Rev., 1 Jan. 1972 • ... to right those wrongs and put the jobless back to work —The Economist, 3 Nov. 1984
