    亲爱的小文:

    你注意到警察局里消防车上的云梯(ladder)了吗?那种梯子升起来很高,可高出一百英尺。美国underworldslang把ladder叫做jacob,你知道是谁吗?

    jacob就是现在以色列(israel)人的老老老老老老老老老老老祖宗。

    messofpottage就是“因小失大”、“得不偿失”、“划不来”的意思。

    jacobsladder可以登天,所以美国黑社会的thieveslatin(盗贼的隐语,切口)就把梯子叫jacob。

    植物里头花葱属(pole摸niums)中的一种就叫jacobsladder,因为它们有ladderlikeleaves。
