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? About a hundred

years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called

Hamburger. 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 came from Hamburger.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had

an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburger 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 is certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain

meaning is interesting, too. The reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English

dictionary.
