a baker's dozen of 是个固定词组,意思就是“十三”。
英国人是以面包为主食的,但那时有个别的面包师在制作面包时偷工减料,克扣份量,以这样的方法昧着良心赚顾客的黑心钱。后来,别的面包师也纷纷效仿。不法奸商的这种做法弄得民怨沸腾,最后官方不得不专门为面包师们制订了制作面包时投料的标准,凡达不到标准的就要受到处罚。这一措施果然奏效,面包的份量增加了。不过,在几百年前科学技术还不十分发达的情况下,手工投料制作面色很难做到个个合乎标准,而不符合官方标准的面包一经发现,面包师便会受到严厉的惩处。为了避免被罚,面包师们就在出售面包时每打多给一个,即十三个为一打。这样,也就逐渐形成了 baker's dozen 这一短语。
