champagne的词源
英文词源
- champagne
- champagne: [17] Champagne comes (as does campaign) from late Latin campānia, a derivative of Latin campus ‘open field’ (source of English camp). This passed into Old French as champagne ‘open country’, a word borrowed into English in the 14th century as champaign (now archaic). It came to be applied specifically to a province of northeastern France (an area largely of open rolling countryside) and hence to the wine produced in that area.
There are references to ‘brisk Champagne’ and ‘sparkling Champagne’ in English from the 1660s and 1670s, but it was not until about two hundred years ago that modern champagne, produced by secondary fermentation in bottle, was invented (according to legend, by the monk Dom Perignon).
=> camp, campaign, champion - champagne (n.)
- 1660s, from French, short for vin de Champagne
"wine made in Champagne," former province in northwest France, literally "open country" (see campaign (n.)). Originally any wine from this region, focused to the modern meaning late 18c.

你也许爱喝香槟酒吧？可它并不是一种香的水果——槟子酿成的酒，而是由一个地名而得名的，“香槟”是这个地名的译名。
法国东北部有一个省，名叫Champagne，盛产一种起泡的白葡萄酒，颜色为浅橙黄色或浅灰褐色。后来，凡此地产的这种酒，或外地仿造的这种酒，都称做champagne，即“香槟”，地名变成了普通名词，第一个字母不再大写。
中国的“茅台”、“汾酒”、“绍酒”等也是以地名作酒名的。
现代英语中，有人还把champagne简化为cham。
champagne在法语中原意是"原野",来源于拉丁语campus, campi, m(战场,原野);后来champagne专指法国东部产香槟酒的地区,再演变为指代"香槟酒"。
即与词根-camp-(田野,场所)同源。
champagne（香槟酒）：盛产白葡萄酒的法国香槟地区
香槟酒是产于法国香槟（Champagne）地区、按照严格的法律规定酿造的的一种葡萄气泡酒。香槟酒需要在葡萄酒瓶中进行二次发酵，产生二氧化碳，从而产生气泡。根据法律，只有在法国香槟区，选用指定的葡萄品种，根据指定的生产方法流程所酿造的气泡酒，才可标注为香槟（Champagne）。
香槟地区（Champagne）在法国巴黎以东，兰斯市周围，包括马恩省（Marne）、埃纳省（Aisne）和奥布省（Aube）的一部分区域。Champagne的意思是“开阔的田野”，与campaign（战役）同源。香槟地区拥有葡萄种植的独特气候环境，出产的葡萄香味更为精致，酿出的葡萄酒的丹宁含量也较低，因而能够酿造出口味独特、香醇迷人的香槟酒。
champagne：[ʃæm'peɪn] n.香槟酒，香槟酒色，香槟地区
