  Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating(创造) new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.

  Sometimes, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you every think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe(欧洲). They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn't speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating a round piece of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans didn't understand the question and answered:“We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant. He had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.

  Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain(一定的) meaning is interesting, too. This reason(原因), for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.
