整个故事里姜饼小人一直在唱一句话“Run, run, as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man。” 所以“姜饼人”被用来形容那种单纯又勇往直前的人。基本上,有天歌词里说的"bigger than Gingerbread man's vitality"等同于我们说的“比打不死的小强还具有生命力”的意思。
In the 1875 St. Nicholas tale, a childless old woman bakes a gingerbread man who leaps from her oven and runs away. The woman and her husband give chase but fail to catch him. The gingerbread man then outruns several farm workers and farm animals while taunting them with the phrase:" I've run away from a little old woman, A little old man, And I can run away from you, I can!The tale ends with a fox catching and eating the gingerbread man who cries as he's devoured, "I'm quarter gone...I'm half gone...I'm three-quarters gone...I'm all gone!" - a detail often omitted in subsequent versions.以上.望采纳,谢谢.
