operetta

The operetta is about a girl named Bettina who is sent to take care of the turkeys of an unlucky farmer by the farmer's brother.

这出小歌剧讲述的是一个名叫贝蒂娜的女孩儿的故事，在剧中她被一个农夫派去照看他倒霉兄弟的火鸡。

In a time when mass media was restricted to print and live performance an operetta like La Mascotte was enough to launch a new word into English.

在一个大众传媒仅限于纸质出版物的年代，像“吉祥物”这样的一出歌剧已足以为英文词汇添丁了。
