Did You Know?
César Ritz (1850-1918) earned worldwide renown for the luxurious hotels bearing his name in London and Paris. (The Ritz-Carlton hotel company is a contemporary descendant of these enterprises.) Although they were by no means the first to cater to high-end clients, Ritz’s hotels quickly earned reputations as symbols of opulence. F. Scott Fitzgerald, a writer who often focused on the fashionably wealthy, titled one of his short stories “The Diamond as Big as the Ritz,” and the phrase “to put on the ritz” means “to indulge in ostentatious display.” The adjective ritzy, describing either something fancy or stylish, or the haughty attitudes of the wealthy elite, first checked into the English language in 1920.
César Ritz (1850-1918) 在伦敦和巴黎以他的名字命名的豪华酒店享誉全球。 （丽思卡尔顿酒店公司就是这些企业的后代。）虽然它们绝不是第一个迎合高端客户的公司，但丽思的酒店很快就赢得了富裕象征的声誉。 F. Scott Fitzgerald 是一位经常关注时尚富豪的作家，他将他的一篇短篇小说命名为“The Diamond as Big as the Ritz”，而“to put on the ritz ”一词的意思是“to indulge in ostentatious display「沉迷于炫耀的展示」”。 形容词 ritzy 用于描述花哨或时尚的事物，或富人们的傲慢态度，于 1920 年首次出现在英语中。
