34、Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.
Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham（火腿）? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, "We come from Hamburg." One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two 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 meaning is interesting, too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.统考英语阅读理解 常微分方程 FOB中划分买卖双方风险界限的是（）(A) 装运港的船上 (B) 货交第一承运人处置 (C) 货交买方处置 (D) 目的港船上国际贸易学 名词解释 群体意识马克思主义基本原理概论 分权可能带来的局限性包括()(A) 使得实行一项统一的政策更加困难 (B) 可能导致上层管理人员的权力部分失控 (C) 增加了分权组织单位之间协调的复杂性 (D) 容易导致各部门的本位主义倾向 (E) 限制了下属人员积极性管理学原理 下列选项中是五阶行列式中的一项的是（ ）。 高等数学三：线性代数
