英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A Subaru automobile. slang
    — For the journey home, you'd take the Scooby-Doo. Now, though, everything has changed. The new Subaru is about as much fun as a church service. And it doesn't look good in photographs because, like me, it doesn't look good at all.
  2. A clue. slang
    — It was past ten o'clock at night and I hadn’t a Scooby-Doo where I was. After a tough twelve-hour day in the saddle, cycling more than 130 miles through rain, wind and sleet, I was tired, soaked through and miserable.
  3. A shoe. in-plural,slang
  4. A screw (a prison warder) slang
    — There are some 32 different terms for prison officers, from the humorously affectionate kanga (rhyming slang:kangaroo = screw) and the variants Scooby-Doo and Dr. Who via the mildly confrontational German (as if still the enemy over 50 years after World War II!) to the outright abuse of shit-parcel.
专有名词
  1. An American cartoon franchise, named for one of the main characters, a large dog, and featuring as protagonists four "meddling" teenagers who unravel seemingly supernatural mysteries.
    — I knew I had to be very careful when I was crafting the story, so that it wouldn't be a Scooby Doo moment—you know, the one where the villain rips off his mask and tells you why he did it—and that he would have gotten away with it, if not for those pesky kids!
  2. The cartoon dog from that cartoon, noted for his trouble-causing lack of sense and almost understandable vocalization.
    — And trying to sell him on carrots when he's yearning for Scooby-Doos poses a challenge similar to selling George W. Bush on tax increases.

Uncertain. Scooby doo appears as a vocable scatted in "The Boppenpoof Song" written in 1954, as the name of a band (The Scooby-Doo All-Stars) in 1956 and the title of a song by the Jerry Lieber Beat Band published by Zephyr Records in 1959 (both of which were signed to Zephyr Records), and lyrics in the song "Denise" by Randy & the Rainbows in 1963. It is likely that such uses were an influence on the creators of the cartoon but they may also have been partially influenced by Frank Sinatra's "doo-be-doo-be-doo" improvisation in "Strangers in the Night" released in 1966 a few years prior to the first episode of Scooby-Doo being shown (in 1969).
