Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is oken by people around the world every day. English eakers 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, e ecially when they are not made with ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to American from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not eak good English, but they ate good food. When some America saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germa what it was. The Germa did not understand the question and a wered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of the America owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of bread with beef 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 interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary. （ ）51、According to the writer, English is ________ .
