It is known to us that English is not as old as Chinese, but it is widely used by most people all over the world. English speakers enjoy creating new words. In fact, a majority of words are traceable and each of them may have an interesting story. However, no one will really care where a word comes from because it makes little difference in using them in our daily life. Did you ever feel confused 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, coming from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn’t know how to use English properly. Seen eating round pieces of beef and asked what it was, the Germans didn’t understand the question exactly, so they answered:"We come from Hamburg." One of the Americans was an owner of a restaurant and got an idea. He cooked some round pieces of bread with beef and began selling them. Such bread came to be called "hamburgers" . Today, hamburgers are welcomed by lots of people coming from different nationalities.
After reading this story, we know the word "hamburger" comes from______.
选项
A、China because it has a long history
B、English because Germans don’t speak English
C、English speakers because they love eating it
D、America because they give it that name
答案
D
解析
推理题。题干意为“在读了这个故事之后,我们可知‘汉堡包’这个词来源于……”。阅读文章,我们知道是美国人看到了来自德国汉堡的人吃一种网片状牛肉而发明汉堡包,因此汉堡包这个词来源于美国。
