128 Uncle Tom
амер.1) уст. "дядя Том", покорный, многострадальный негр-слуга [по имени действующего лица в романе Г. Б. Стоу "Хижина дяди Тома"]Adelbert liked his grandfather. He had always seemed to him a nice old man, perhaps a bit too anxious to be accommodating to the world, shrewd but honest. His father sometimes criticized him as an Uncle Tom, but he, too, had a good deal of respect for him. (W. Du Bois, ‘Worlds of Color’, ch. XVIII) — Аделберт любил своего деда. Тот всегда казался ему милым стариканом, пожалуй, чересчур уж миролюбивым, но зато умным и честным. Дуглас иногда шутливо называл его "дядей Томом", однако тоже питал к нему большое уважение.
It was not until the civil rights movement gained new momentum in this century that the meaning of Uncle Tom changed from "long-suffering but heroic" to "subservient and not militant enough". (NLP) — В связи со стремительным развитием в этом столетии движения за гражданские права негров значение оборота "дядя Том" изменилось. Это выражение, вначале обозначавшее многострадальный, но героический характер, позднее стало употребляться в значении "малодушный прихлебатель".
2) презр. холуй, прихвостень, предатель интересов негритянского народа (отсюда to Uncle-Tom, Uncle Tomish и Uncle Tomism)The next morning in Macon, Douglass confronted his father. He was in a cold bitter rage. He told Mansart that he was thoroughly ashamed of him; that he had lost respect which he had once had, because he had found out that his father was a coward and a lick-spittle, an Uncle Tom and a white folk's "nigger". (W. Du Bois, ‘Mansart Builds a School’, ch. X) — На следующее утро, приехав в Мейкон, Дуглас завел с отцом разговор. Он был полон холодной, свирепой ярости. Он сказал Мансарту, что испытывает жгучий стыд за него, что перестал его уважать, так как понял, что отец его трус, подхалим, презренный "дядюшка Том".
