中文词源
pidgin 洋泾浜，混杂式语言
来自pigeon English(1859),鸽子英语，鸟语，19世纪中叶上海开埠时欧洲人用以形容中国人说的简化英语，来自pigeon(1826),鸽子，此词带有双重含义，一是欧洲人用以形容中国人念”business”的发音有点像在念”pigeon”,鸽子，二是欧洲人用该词来暗示或赤裸裸的形容当时的中国人说英语有点像在说鸟语或像鸽子在叫。在英语词汇中，pigeon和dove虽然指同一种鸟，但是两个词所表达的感情色彩是不一样的。后来可能是因为该词讽刺意味过于明显，因而将拼写改成pidgin.

pidgin: [19] A pidgin is a reduced form of language used for communication between speech communities which do not share the same native language. A characteristic of such languages is that words in the base language from which the pidgin evolved become altered. And this is how the word pidgin itself arose. It comes from pidgin English, an alteration of business English in the commercial pidgin used in Far Eastern ports in the mid-19th century.
