註釋
To understand the origin of the idiom ax to grind, we need to know that grind means 「to sharpen.」 This phrase is said to have come from a story by the 19th-century journalist Charles Miner (alias Poor Robert) about a seemingly friendly man who was able by flattery to persuade a young boy to turn a grindstone for him. The tale first appeared in the Luzerne, Pennsylvania, Federalist on September 7, 1810, under the title 「Who'll Turn Grindstones?」 and later in an 1815 book entitled Essays from the Desk of Poor Robert the Scribe. Because 「Poor Robert」 was confused with 「Poor Richard,」 the story has often been erroneously attributed to Benjamin Franklin. The idiom itself is an Americanism—a word or expression originating in the United States. It was at first restricted to political contexts, but quotations from James Joyce (「Skin-the-Goat . . . evidently with an axe to grind, was airing his grievances」) and George Bernard Shaw (「distinguished statesmen of different nations . . . each with a national axe to grind」) attest that the phrase has traveled abroad and, as we know only too well, is no longer found only in political contexts.
為了理解成語ax to grind 的出處， 我們需要知道grind 意思是「磨尖」。 這個短語據說出自19世紀旅行家查爾斯·麥納（別名窮羅伯特）所寫的關於一個似乎很友善的人的故事，他能夠奉承地勸說一名男孩為他翻過一塊磨光石。這個傳說第一次出現在1810年9月7日賓夕法尼亞州的盧澤恩，在1810年9月7日題為「誰將推翻磨石」的聯邦制擁護者 中提到， 之後1815年又在名為作家窮·羅伯特文集 一書中提到。 因為「poor Robert和"poor Richard」易被弄混淆，這個故事經常被錯誤地認為是本傑明·弗蘭克林創作的。這個成語本身是美國式的詞或表達源於美國。一開始被限於在政治性言詞的情況中使用，但是從以下的引文表明這個短語已廣泛地傳播，一個是引於詹姆斯·瓊斯（「這個顯然別有企圖的披著人皮的狼，正在訴苦」）， 另一個引自喬治·伯納德·肖（「辨認出不同國家的人…每個國家都有自己國家的打算」）， 正如我們所熟知的，它不再是只在政治性的言辭上下文之間才可以找到的
