About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American West. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities back East. The greenhorn lacked the skills he would need to live in the hard, rough country.大约100年前,greenhorn在美国西部是一种很流行的表达。老一辈用它来表示那些刚从东部大城市回来的人,这些人缺少在这样艰苦的土地上生活的技能。
