词组 jackeroo; jackaroo
释义 jackeroo; jackaroo
noun
an apprentice station hand working on, and learning how to manage, a cattle or sheep station AUSTRALIA, 1845
Origin unknown. Suggestions have been legion, such as: the male name Jack blended with “kangaroo”; a corruption of Johnny Raw; and borrowings from various Australian Aboriginal languages. Originally it was a Queensland word referring to a man living away from settled areas, and so may be referable to a native Queensland language.
  • — Nino Culotta (John O’Grady), They’re A Weird Mob, p. 133, 1957
  • If all this sounds confusing, mixed up among the cowboys, drovers, station hands and stockmen were the jackaroos–privileged upper-class pastoral apprentices being trained, not really as stockmen but as future bosses. — Herb Wharton, Cattle Camp, p. 77, 1994
