喜樂美語
  1. 1

    In the books and films, Jane is the main woman — in the stories, Jane Porter — who meets in the jungle. She is the person from ordinary life who talks, who loves, and who the films like to set beside him. The films gave the world the joke line “Me , you Jane,” though actually the books are not that cartoon. When this dictionary sense says Jane, it means that character, not every woman named Jane, and not Jane as a stand-in for “any woman” (Jane Doe). The given name behind the character is an old English name, a sister of John.
