为什么 confidence man 是骗子的意思？
confidence英 ['kɒnfɪd(ə)ns]美 ['kɑnfɪdəns]n. 信心；信任；秘密adj. （美）诈骗的；骗得信任的confidence man这里明显是充当形容词，所以意思是诈骗的人，就是骗子靠取得受害者的信任而骗人网上说是1849年一个叫威廉姆,汤姆逊的人,靠跟不认识的谈话,最后取得信任而骗人手表.后来被抓受审HistoryThe first known usage of the term "confidence man" in English was in1849; it was used by American press during the United States trial of William Thompson.Thompson chatted with strangers until he asked if they had theconfidence to lend him their watches, whereupon he would walk off withthe watch; he was captured when a victim recognized him on the street.[1]（望楼主采纳哦）
