Para.1 Introduction
The restaurant’s fried tofu is delicious.
restaurant:在以前,还没有专门的饭店。1765年,有一个叫做 Boulanger 的法国人开了一家店,专门出售叫做restaurant的肉汤,是 restaurer ( to restore )的名词形式,字面意思就是“能 restore (恢复)人体力(的东西)”。由于 Boulanger 的店最初是以 restaurant (肉汤)出名的,所以人们就管这种提供饮食服务的店称为 restaurant 。
fry:来自拉丁语 frigere, 烤,煎。
delicious:来源于拉丁语中由前缀 de- (离开 , 分离)和动词 lacere (引诱 , 欺骗)组成的复合动词 delicere (引诱开)派生的 delicia (使高兴) , 经后期拉丁语 deliciosus 和古法语 delicious 派生为英语 delicious 。
