streak 疾行，疾馳，裸奔

改寫自 streek,快走，疾行，方言變體自 stretch,展開(kāi)，伸長(zhǎng)，來(lái)自古英語(yǔ) streccan,展開(kāi)，伸長(zhǎng)。詞義裸奔來(lái)自一則小故事，在 1973 年，美國(guó)馬里蘭大學(xué)突然出現(xiàn)了幾百人的裸奔隊(duì)伍，一個(gè)記者偶然看到了這一幕，在報(bào)道時(shí)興奮的大叫：“They are streaking past me right now.It's an incredible sight.”原義要表達(dá)的是，“他們剛剛在我身邊跑過(guò)，真是一個(gè)難以置信的畫(huà)面”，后隨著這則新聞報(bào)道的播出，有意無(wú)意的就賦予了該詞裸奔的含義。參照維基百科。

英文詞源

streak: streak: [OE] Streak and strike are closely related. Both come from a prehistoric Germanic base *strik-, denoting ‘touch lightly’. But whereas the connotations of strike have become more violent, streak has moved semantically from the action to the effect it produced on a surface. Originally, in the Old English period, it denoted simply a ‘mark’, but by the 16th century it had narrowed down to a long thin mark. The use of the verb streak for ‘run naked through a public place’ dates from the early 1970s.

Sense of "long, thin mark" is first found 1560s. Meaning "a temporary run (of luck)" is from 1843.
streak (v.2): 1768, "to go quickly, to rush, run at full speed," respelling (probably by association with streak (v.1)) of streek "to go quickly" (late 14c.), originally "to stretch oneself" (mid-13c.), a northern Middle English variant of stretch (v.). Related: Streaked; streaking.
streak (v.1): "make streaks on" (transitive), 1590s, from streak (n.). Intransitive sense of "become streaked" is from 1870. Related: Streaked; streaking.
