来自美国南部黑人俚语juke,混乱的,不整洁的,用来指路边的小酒馆,小酒吧,box,盒子,音乐盒。类似于卡拉OK的简陋的点唱机,投币后可以唱歌。
For a long time the commercial juke trade resisted the name juke box and even tried to raise a big publicity fund to wage a national campaign against it, but "juke box" turned out to be the biggest advertising term that could ever have been invented for the commercial phonograph and spread to the ends of the world during the war as American soldiers went abroad but remembered the juke boxes back home. ["Billboard," Sept. 15, 1945]
