肯德基的由来是什么

1930 年，肯德基的创始人哈兰·山德士在家乡美国肯德基州开了一家餐厅。在此期间，山德士潜心研究炸鸡的新方法，终于成功地发明了有十一种香料和特有烹调技术合成的秘方，其独特的口味深受顾客的欢迎，餐厅生意日趋兴隆，秘方沿袭至今。

肯德基州为了表彰他为家乡作出的贡献，授予他山德士上校的荣誉称号。山德士上校一身西装， 满头白发及山羊胡子的形象，已成为肯德基国际品牌的最佳象征。

扩展资料：

山德士上校凭借一己之力创造了肯德基炸鸡及其经营模式，此后人生开始走上了坦途，没有再遭遇挫折。但是此时他已经年逾古稀，无力再对公司进行管理，也无力下厨房烹制炸鸡。

于是他一狠心一跺脚，将公司卖给了投资人约翰·布朗和杰克·梅西。此后肯德基的产权几经易手，但是这与山德士上校都没关系了。

尽管山德士上校已经离开了肯德基，但是肯德基却聘任他担任公司的形象代言人，笑眯眯的白发老人山德士上校的形象开始出现在公司的宣传中，出现在餐厅里，出现在电视上。看到这个可爱的老头，人们也仿佛看到了肯德基，完全不会想到，现在的肯德基跟这个老头其实没有任何关系。

HiJack一词的由来

From Online Etymology Dictionary:
hijack
1923, Amer.Eng., from high(way) + jacker "one who holds up." Originally "to rob (a bootlegger, smuggler, etc.) in transit;" sense of "seizing an aircraft in flight" is 1968 (also in 1961 variant skyjack), extended 1970s to any form of public transportation. Related: Hijacked; hijacking.
以上是从在线语源学词典找到的hijack的起源。
大概意思是：1923年开始出现在美式英语里，是由"highway"中的"high"和"jacker"（即拦路抢劫者）组合而成。起初是指在运输过程中抢劫走私犯等。1968年左右开始出现了“劫持飞行中的航空器”这一意思（1961年就出现了变体skyjack）。到1970年左右引申为到对任何公共交通设备的劫持。

民歌的起源与发展

我国民歌有着悠久的传统,远在原始社会里,我们的祖先在狩猎、搬运、祭祀、娱神、仪式、求偶等活动中开始了他们的歌唱。如上古文献中记录的这样一首《弹歌》:‌“断竹,续竹；飞土,逐肉。”它十分概括地描写了原始时代狩猎劳动的全过程。全首民歌虽仅有八个字,却好像一幅栩栩如生的原始射猎图,是我们了解和认识原始时代人们生产和生活的珍贵资料和赏心悦目的艺术瑰宝。
《诗经》是我国第一部诗歌总集。其中的《国风》便是那时北方十五个地区的民歌。它们反映了从西周到春秋中叶(公元前十一世纪到公元前六世纪)绵延五百多年的复杂的社会生活、阶级斗争以及劳动人民多方面的生活状况。其中许多优秀的作品如《伐檀》、《硕鼠》、《式微》、《将仲子》等,不但具有高度的思想性,同时也具有卓越的艺术成就。它们以巧妙的比兴手法,塑造了许多鲜明动人的形象。这些民歌生动地反映了我国古代劳动人民的精神面貌以及他们的创造才智,它们的高度人民性和现实主义精神,成为我国民歌的优良传统。
继《诗经》之后,公元前四世纪出现了《楚辞》。楚辞包括两类作品:一种是伟大诗人屈原及其他楚国诗人根据楚国民歌曲调创作的诗歌;一类是经他们整理的楚国民歌歌词。楚辞的最大特色是富于幻想和热情,它为我国民歌的浪漫主义传统奠定了最初的基石。
而汉魏六朝的乐府民歌、相和歌,又进一步继承和发展了以上二者的优良传统。《战城南》、《十五从军征》等,都是当时比较深刻地反映了社会现实的优秀民歌。由于内容的需要,他们在形式上突破了《诗经》的四言诗体,发展了长短不同的句式和五七言体,这样就更丰富了民歌的表现力。这种新的形式被称为‌“乐府体”,它给以后的民歌和诗人的创作带来了很大影响。‌“相和歌”的产生,突破了‌“徒歌”的形式,加进了伴奏。从唐代的曲子到今天的说唱、戏曲,都和它有一脉相承的关系,如长篇叙事歌曲《孔雀东南飞》等,充分显示了歌曲创作的重大发现。
唐代民歌保存下来虽不多,但从敦煌发掘出的‌“曲子”资料和有关燕乐、变文的记载中可以看出,唐代民歌的创作和流传是相当繁盛的。随着反映生活内容的需要,唐代民歌经过许多人的不断加工,无论在曲调风格上、演唱形式上,都有了更高的发展。‌“曲子”的产生,除了用于单独清唱外,还被广泛地用于说唱、歌舞中,受到人民的喜爱,成为民歌通向更复杂的艺术形式的桥梁。这种‌“曲子”对以后的宋词、元曲的发展起着有益的影响。
而到了明清近代时期,随着新型的资本主义经济因素开始萌芽,在阶级矛盾和民族矛盾极其尖锐的斗争中,产生了数量相当多的、具有强烈人民性的杰出民歌。这一时期的民歌,除了具有广泛的内容以及清新、明快、朴素的语言外,在形式上也比以前更为自由、活泼。从《魏氏乐谱》所收集的《水龙吟》、《长歌行》,以及明清的传统牌子曲《山门六喜》等歌曲中,可以看出无论在歌词、曲体结构、曲调的表现能力等方面都已经大大丰富。
五四运动以后,随着人民革命运动的迅速发展,中国民歌进入了新的发展时期,反帝反封建的战斗主题便成为它新的特点和历史使命。
中华人民共和国的诞主，赋予了民歌新的生命，民歌创作进入了一个崭新的时期，劳动人民翻身当家做了主人，美好的前景，展现在人们的眼前，这正像一个人在经过艰苦跋涉的沙漠旅行后，突然看到了碧波万顷的大海，人们的情绪激动了，歌不断从激动的心头流出来。人们用歌声唱出了对党、对毛主席、对新生活的无限热爱。人民创作了如《东方红》《咱们的领袖毛泽东》《浏阳河》《八月桂花遍地开》等传世之作。 民歌在新中国的土壤上得到培育，像春天田野里的野花，连片密布，摇曳生姿。社会主义民歌创作的沃野展现在眼前，劳动人民的歌声冲天而起，响彻云霄。
党和政府十分重视民歌的搜集整理工作，先后派出工作组对全国的传统民间文化，尤其是民风进行大范围的抢救挖掘工作。自1984年起，又开展了《中国歌谣集成》工作。通过这些大规模的活动，使得流传于民间的歌谣得以典藏保存，为丰富和弘扬中华民族优秀民间文化做出了不可磨灭的贡献。 美国的文化对比上说（中、英、欧洲大陆等）都比较短；在我们听到一些美国怨曲、跳舞音乐、爵士乐曲外，在乘接中、西部人民的心灵，我们会听到不少第二代美国本土人民的心曲，拓荒者的Country Fork Music，好像Woody Guthrie’s ；‘This land is my land’、 Oh Susanna、Michael, Row the Boat ashore等等，此为典形的美国民歌。而 The Weavers (Pete Seeger)、The Kingston Trio、The Highway Man等可以说我所认识的是美国民歌的先驱。
至於被称为美国现代（六十年代称之为现代，而我们2004年被称为处于后现代的尾声） ；民歌之父的是Bob Dylan。 Bob Dylan ；之所以被称为’现代民歌之父’，是因为其在六十年代首先以他典形反叛、控诉加上其如诗的文字( lyric) ；写出了不少能代表当代美国土地、文化，新一代知识分子、年青人的心态的乐曲。 ；而该等文字、歌曲，又真的能直接、间接及一代一代地影响著美国甚至世界各地的文化（不止于音乐文化）。
Ps. ；至于其他大家能常常听到的西方民歌手有：，PPM最喜欢的（相信是） Peter, Paul and Mary, Simon and Garfunkel, Donovan, Joni Mitchell, John Denver等等，

新词的来源

新词无时无刻不在被创造着、引用着。有时新词是由一个人独自创造出来的，有时新词又是由一起工作的某个群体创造出来。这个新词可以只为某一特殊场合而产生，此后再不出现，也可以成为语言的一部分，被辞典收录下来，成为固有词（林承璋，1997：90）。
英语词汇中新词的来源主要有以下几个方面：1）现代科学技术的进步；2）政治经济形势的变化；3）社会其他方面的发展。
1．现代科学技术的进步
现代科学技术是新词最重要的来源。20世纪后期科技的发展日新月异，英语中随之涌现出大量新词。以电子工业为例，仅计算机的发展，就带来了许多新词新义：browser（浏览器），data highway（信息高速公路），desktop（桌面），dialog box（对话框），filename（文件名），flash memory（瞬时记忆），home page（主页），hypertext（超文本），Internet（因特网，国际互联网），modem（调制解调器），mouse pad（鼠标垫），netiquette（网上礼节），newbie（电脑新手，网上新手），notebook（笔记本电脑），page（网页），screen saver（屏幕保护），virtual reality（虚拟现实）。
此外，电话的种类越来越多，其功能也在不断增加： auto-dial（自动拨号），call forwarding（呼叫转移），caller ID（来话识别），car phone（车载电话），cellular phone（蜂窝电话），cordless phone（无绳电话），mobile call（移动电话），picturephone（可视电话），push-button phone（按键电话），speakerphone（免提电话），touch tone（音频电话），wall phone（壁挂电话）。
2．政治经济形势的变化
政治经济生活错综复杂，对英语词汇影响重大。一方面，英语国家内部事件连绵不断——选举、政治斗争、个人丑闻等等，英语则从各类事件中都能获得新词，举例来说： 自从“Watergate”在英语中成为一个普通名词以来，英语中出现了许多以-gate做后缀的词语。如Camillagate指英国查尔斯王子和卡米拉的桃色新闻，Nannygate则涉及以色列总理内塔尼亚胡夫人的一件丑闻。1998年的美国总统Clinton与Lewinsky案件又引出了Don’t Clinton me的说法，这个动词的Clinton意为“说合理而又详细的谎言”，而据报载汉语中也已有了“你少跟我‘克林顿’”的说法。
另一方面，国际范围内风云变幻，世界局势动荡不安。历史上每件大事的发生都使英语中新词新语层出不穷。进入90年代以来，世界局势发生了重大变化。Total War（总体战）虽然没有打起来，但是地区间的战火却从未停止燃烧，此外还有jungle war（丛林战）、special war（特种战争）、psywar（心理战）、trade war（贸易战）等等（汪榕培、卢晓娟，1997：329）。同时，各国政治家、外交官们忙着shuttle diplomacy（穿梭外交）。有些呼吁globalism（全球化），有些倡导de-Americanize（削弱美国）。
另外，经济领域出现的新现象又与政治问题交织在一起，令人更加眼花缭乱。例如，income gap（收入差别），income inequality（收入不公），economic inequality（经济不平等），wealth disparity（财富的两极分化）等。这样的例子可谓举不胜举。
3．社会其他方面的发展
社会其他方面包括教育、体育、娱乐、运输、环保等，是新词的又一重要来源。以环保为例，人类从未象现在这样关注他们的生存环境，这种关注使英语增加了不少词汇，如：dystrophication（河湖污染），Earth Day（地球日），graffiti pollution（涂墙污染），ozone-friendly（无损臭氧层），thermal pollution（热气污染），visual pollution（视觉污染）。

迪士尼乐园的由来，英文，要中文翻译，别太长

Disneyland (English: Disneyland, the official name for Disneyland Park), is located in a California Ann marvel city (Anaheim) theme Park. By huate Disney a Disneyland is founded by The Walt Disney Company (The Walt Disney Company) established and operating a series of theme park and The first resort area, away from The downtown Los Angeles about 20 minutes by car (highway).

最经典的1994年重组巡演版现场
不过最让《加州旅馆》充满神秘色彩的还是这首歌的歌词，乐评人和歌迷对这首歌的原意有着各种各样的猜测，其中最为著名的假说有如下几种：
1，真实经历说。这个猜想认为加州旅馆是真实存在的一个酒店，坐落在接近加利福尼亚半岛接近圣巴巴拉的地方。老鹰乐队对该酒店的服务非常不满，所以专门写歌抱怨。
大概类似这样子的抱怨……
2，精神病院说。这个假说认为《加州旅馆》是映射了加州州立精神病院的情况（这个医院位于文图拉郡）。
3，恶魔崇拜说。有些人认为这首歌暗指声名狼藉的现代撒旦教信仰者为安东拉维，1966年时他设立了撒旦教堂，并致力于把人们转向撒旦崇拜。其中最直接的证据则是歌词中的一句“你可以随时结账，但你永远别想离开。”
4，毒瘾假说。有些人认为老鹰乐队在吸食了毒品以后，产生了“加州旅馆”的幻觉并最终把它写到了歌词里（有人考证歌词中“Colitas”一词暗指大麻叶）。 尽管有着各种各样的民间传说，老鹰乐队还是确认了“加州旅馆”实际上和撒旦崇拜、精神病院又或者可卡因成瘾没有关系。
他们的这首大热单曲实际上想拷问1970年代生活在南加州喧闹中的人们，这一切是否只是一个陷阱。
当老鹰乐队的Don Felder、Glenn Frey和Don Henley写作《加州旅馆》的歌词时，不仅是加州，当时整个美国都陷入了一种无节制的物质主义中。在2007年《伦敦日报》对Don Henley的采访中，Don Henley表示人们对《加州旅馆》的歌词一直有着过分的遐想，而乐队成员最开始想要表达的，仅仅是“艺术和商业之间微妙的平衡”。
在那张为老鹰乐队赢得了1977年格莱美年度制作奖的专辑中，《加州旅馆》讽刺了当时人们对加州生活的一种不切合实际的宣传：似乎加州所有的一切就是好莱坞的星光大道上闪闪发光的影视明星、沙滩上衣着性感的女孩、还有隔着几百公里就能看到的闪烁霓虹。
《加州旅馆》专辑封面
《加州旅馆》的目标就是那个年代里围绕着好莱坞的这些物质贪婪和享乐主义：包括无节制的滥用毒品、挥金如土和开放的女性（对于最后一点老鹰乐队自己也承认他们乐在其中）。
而专辑封面的摄影师也表示，他通过专辑封面想要表达的主题，也是当时那种纯真的丧失和堕落的污染。
尽管《加州旅馆》的歌词表面上表达的是一个超现实主义的故事：疲惫的旅人们进驻了洛杉矶中央的一座奢华的旅馆，而吸引着他入驻的是旅馆引人注目且诱人的外观。但很快，他们就发现这是一个噩梦般的地方。 但在这个故事中，“加州旅馆”其实象征着承载美国梦的音乐产业，也许真实世界中并没有这样一座旅馆（当然实际上是有的），它吸引着天真的音乐人慢慢陷入这个声名与财富的陷阱之中，最终无路可逃。
具有讽刺意味的是，让老鹰乐队获得巨大声誉和财富的《加州旅馆》专辑，恰恰也成了老鹰的伤仲永之作，之后他们花了三年才录完了下一张专辑，随后就因为内部矛盾而匆匆解散。

五一劳动节的由来简介英文

五一劳动节的由来简介英文（精选6篇）

　　1890年5月1日国际劳动者举行游行，并决定把5月1日这一天定为国际劳动节。下面是我为大家整理的五一劳动节的由来简介英文，希望对大家有帮助!

　　五一劳动节的由来简介英文 篇1

　　International Workers’ Day(国际劳动节) is a celebration of the social and economic achievements of the international labor movement. International Workers’ Day commonly sees organized street demonstrations by hundreds of thousands of working people and their labor unions throughout Europe and most of the rest of the world — though, as noted below, not in either the United States or Canada. More radical groups such as communists and anarchists are also given to widespread street protest on this day as well.

　　International Workers’ Day was originally the commemoration of the Chicago riots(暴乱)of 1886: in 1889, the first congress of the Second International(第二国际), meeting in Paris for the centenial of the French Revolution(法国大革命) and the Exposition Universelle (1889), following a proposal by Raymond Lavigne, called for international demonstrations on the 1890 anniversary of the Chicago riot. These were so successful that International Workers’ Day was formally recognized as an annual event at the International’s second congress in 1891. The May Day Riots of 1894 and May Day Riots of 1919 occurred subsequently.

　　In 1904, the International Socialist Conference meeting in Amsterdam(阿姆斯特丹) called on "all Social-Democratic Party organizations and trade unions of all countries to demonstrate energetically on May First for the legal establishment of the 8-hour day, for the class demands of the proletariat, and for universal peace." As the most effective way of demonstrating was by striking, the congress made it "mandatory upon the proletarian organizations of all countries to stop work on May 1, wherever it is possible without injury to the workers."

　　International Workers’ Day has long been a focal point for demonstrations by various socialist, communist, and anarchist groups. In some circles, bonfires are lit in commemoration of the Haymarket Riot, usually right as the first day of May begins.

　　Due to its status as a celebration of the efforts of workers and the socialist movement, International Workers’ Day is an important official holiday in Communist countries such as the People’s Republic of China, Cuba, and the former Soviet Union(前苏联) . International Workers’ Day celebrations typically feature elaborate popular and military parades in these countries.

　　In countries other than the United States and Canada, resident working classes fought hard to make International Workers’ Day an official holiday, efforts which largely succeeded. For this reason, in most of the world today, International Workers’ Day is marked by massive street rallies led by workers, their trade unions, anarchists and various socialist and communist parties.

　　The First and Second Red Scare periods ended International Workers’ Day as a mass holiday in the United States, which now celebrates its Labor Day on the first Monday of September, due to its importance in Communist countries.

　　五一劳动节的.由来简介英文 篇3

　　May 1st International Labor Day originated from the strike of workerscongresses in Chicago, USA. On May 1, 1886, more than 216,000 workers in Chicago went on a general strike for the eight-hour work system. After a painstaking and bloody struggle, they finally won. In commemoration of this great workersmovement, the Second International announced in July 1889 that May 1 will be designated as International Labor Day every year.

　　In September 1999, the State Council reformed and promulgated a new statutory vacation system. Every year, the National Day, Spring Festival and May Day statutory holidays are added with reverse vacation, and the national vacation lasts for 7 days. Since then, the tourism consumption fever triggered by the three Golden Weeks has become a new bright spot in Chinas economic life, and the holiday economy has become a new topic that people enjoy talking about.

　　The significance of International Labor Day lies in the fact that the laborers have won their legitimate rights and interests through struggle and with indomitable and heroic spirit of struggle. This is the historical progress of human civilization and democracy. This is the essence of May Day. So people pay so much attention to Labor Day.

　　I had a great time throughout my May Day Holiday.

　　On Monday, I went BBQ with my classmates who threw a celebration party at our middle school principle’s flat. Our parents were invited to the party. Everybody was excited about the holiday. I ate a lot of delicious food at that time.

　　On Tuesday, I went visiting my uncle’s family with my parents. We went to celebrate our good time at a fancy restaurant in Shanghai. Later that day, we sang karaoke in my uncle’s house. We stayed for the night.

　　On Wednesday, I went shopping with my cousins. We bought some brand name t-shirts and pants. In the afternoon, my cousins gave me a fun ride on the city highway. They also taught me how to drive their fancy car, so I tried to do some turning and parking. It was not easy first. But I learnt quick.

　　On Thursday, we returned home with many gifts from our trip. I tried to get some rest. At night, I chatted with my classmates on the phone, and I watched CCTV before going to bed.

　　From Friday on, I started to finish up my homework assignments on my personal laptop. Some of my assignments were quite boring. After I finished the homework, I emailed them to my teachers. That was the end of it. I started to prepare things for school on this coming Monday.

　　All in all, I enjoyed my May Day Holiday in many ways.

　　五一劳动节的由来简介英文 篇6

　　"Labor Day differs in every essential from the other holidays of the year in any country," said Samuel Gompers, founder and longtime president of the American Federation of Labor. "All other holidays are in a more or less degree connected with conflicts and battles of man’s prowess over man, of strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another. Labor Day...is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race, or nation."

　　Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our country.
