wear something on one's sleeve
語源
This phrase may derive from a mediaeval custom at jousting matches. Knights are said to have worn the colours of the lady they were supporting, in cloths or ribbons tied to their arms.
The term does not date from that period though, and is first recorded in Shakespeare's Othello, 1604, in which the treacherous Iago's plan was to feign openness and vulnerability in order to appear faithful[1].
動詞
wear something on one's sleeve (三人称単数 現在形 wears something on one's sleeve, 現在分詞 wearing something on one's sleeve, 過去形 wore something on one's sleeve, 過去分詞 worn something on one's sleeve)
- To express an emotion, belief, or stance overtly and make it an important part of one's public life.
- 2008 June 28, Art Winslow, “Ethan Canin's "America, America"”, in Chicago Tribune[2], archived from the original on 2009-05-21:
- While he may wear his idealism and good-heartedness on his shirt sleeve, his passion is exuded more as an intellectualized than as a deeply felt quality. In modulating his voice, that is, Canin has chosen a character whose temperance might be admirable among the living but is less engaging when encountered in literature.
