Have you ever heard a cat wailing and felt that you could relate? Apparently some hungover German speakers once did. Katzenjammer comes from German Katze (meaning “cat”) and jammer (meaning “distress” or “misery”). English speakers borrowed the word for their hangovers (and other distressful inner states) in the first half of the 19th century and eventually applied it to outer commotion as well. The word isn’t as popular in English today as it was around the mid-20th century, but it’s well-known to many because of The Katzenjammer Kids, a long-running comic strip featuring the incorrigibly mischievous twins Hans and Fritz.
词源词根演化：Katze (“cat”) + jammer (“distress” or “misery”) —> katzenjammer (n.)
你曾见听到过猫哭叫吗？心里或许有些同感？很明显某些沮丧的德国人有过同样的感受。Katzenjammer来自于德语Katze （意思是“猫”）与jammer（意思是“压力”或“苦难”）组合而成。英语世界在19世纪上半页借来了这个词，用于表达他们的“沮丧”（以及其他令人苦恼的内心状况），最终这个词也发展为可以用于描述“外部世界的骚动”。现如今，这个词并不像20世界中期那样为人所熟知，不过还是被许多人了解，主要是由于The Katzenjammer Kid这部长篇连环漫画，画中的主人公是两个无法无天的调皮双胞胎孩子Hans和Fritz。
注：wail：痛哭，尖叫声；hungover：adj. 因余醉未醒感到难受的，心里难受的；commotion：骚动，混乱，喧闹；comic strip：连环漫画，连环画；incorrigibly：不能矫正的；mischievous：调皮的，恶作剧的，有害的；
