sandwich的词源
英文词源
- sandwich
- sandwich: [18] John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich (1718–92), is said to have been so addicted to the gambling table that in order to sustain him through an entire 24-hour session uninterrupted, he had a portable meal of cold beef between slices of toast brought to him. The basic idea was nothing new, of course, but the Earl’s patronage ensured it a vogue, and by the early 1760s we have the first evidence of his name being attached to it: the historian Edward Gibbon in 1762 recorded in his diary how he dined at the Cocoa Tree and saw ‘twenty or thirty of the best men in the kingdom … supping at little tables … upon a bit of cold meat, or a Sandwich’.
- sandwich (n.)
- 1762, said to be a reference to John Montagu (1718-1792), Fourth Earl Sandwich, who was said to be an inveterate gambler who ate slices of cold meat between bread at the gaming table during marathon sessions rather than get up for a proper meal (this account dates to 1770). It was in his honor that Cook named the Hawaiian islands (1778) when Montagu was first lord of the Admiralty. The family name is from the place in Kent, Old English Sandwicæ, literally "sandy harbor (or trading center)." For pronunciation, see cabbage. Sandwich board, one carried before and one behind, is from 1864.
- sandwich (v.)
- 1841, from sandwich (n.), on the image of the stuff between the identical pieces of bread. Related: Sandwiched; sandwiching.
中文词源
sandwich“三明治”即“夹馅面包”，原是英国东南部的一个城镇名。18世纪时，这个城堡里有位伯爵，名叫John Montagu，声誉很坏。他不仅胜任不了他所担负的海军大臣的工作，而且生活腐败、臭名昭彰。赌博是他的邪恶的嗜好之一。他嗜赌成性，甚至达到废寝忘食的地步。有一次，这位伯爵一赌了24小时，饭也不肯停下来吃，他指使仆从把面包片夹上烧牛肉拿给他吃，一边继续狂赌下去。于是这位Sandwich城的伯爵便为全世界提供了sandwich这个词，表示他所吃的这种“夹肉面包”。后来也指“夹果酱馅等的面包”。笔者还听到一位美国人把中国的烧饼夹牛肉风趣地叫作Chinese sandwich。

当今西方极受欢迎的便捷午餐。名称的由来可以追述到18世纪一位英国贵族，Sandwich(英格兰一地名）第四代伯爵，他的真实大名叫John Montagu（1718-1792）。他曾任英国海军大臣长达11年之久。夏威夷群岛的旧称Sandwich Islands便是英国航海家及探险家库克(James Cook),1728-1779)根据他的封地命名的。据传，他的私生活荒淫无度，而且嗜赌成性。每当赌瘾一来，他便整天整夜沉溺于赌台。据说，1762年，有一次他连续24小时坐在赌桌旁，为了不中断赌博和败坏赌兴，他吩咐仆人在用膳时间只需给他送来夹有烤牛肉等物的夹心面包片，便于他一边赌一边吃。他的赌友将其戏称为sandwich, 这一名称就这样流传开来，并延续至今。其实这种夹心面包片并非Sandwich伯爵所发明，古罗马人就很喜欢吃一种叫of-fula的夹心面包片。
以后，从sandwich一词派生出了一些诸如sandwich board(挂在身前身后的广告牌)，sandwich man(身前身后挂着广告牌的三明治式广告宣传员),sandwich course(工读交替制课程)等复合词。此外，sandwich还可转用为动词，常作“把...夹(挤）在...中间”解。
