linkboy,作名词时译为“(从前)在黑暗的街区为步行者持火炬照明的男孩”。

       Joshua Reynolds’s portrait transforms a sight common to the streets of eighteenth-century London—a child worker lighting torches—into an allegory. “Link boys,” as they were known, were paid a small sum to light fires along London’s streets so that inhabitants could see the way from their doors to their carriages. These youngsters traveled through the city at nightfall and could become victims of abuse. The lack of social status of working-class women and children at the time made them particularly vulnerable to mistreatment in the modernizing city. Rather than romanticizing one of the city’s many street urchins, Reynolds allegorizes the plight of these children, puckish Cupids with wings blackened by their often tragic experience of exploitation— sexual as well as socioeconomic.

          在19世纪早期到中期引入煤气照明之前的日子里,执炬男孩在伦敦很常见。他们的费用通常是一分钱,火炬通常由燃烧的沥青和绳索制成。
