来个英文好的翻译一下
About three hundred words in the English
language come from the names of people. Many of these words are technical
words. When there is a new invention or discovery, a new word may be coined
after the inventor or scientist.
It is interesting to observe how many common
words have found their way into the language from the names of people. Lord
Sandwich, who lived from 1718 to 1792, used to sit at the gambling table eating
slices of bread with meat in-between. As the lord was the only man among his
friends who ate bread in that way, his friend began to call bread “sandwich”
for fun. Later on the word became part of the English language.
The word “boycott” means to refuse to have
anything to do with somebody or something. It comes from a man called captain
Boycott. He was a land agent in 1880 and he collected rents and taxes foe an
English landowner in Ireland.
But the captain was a very harsh man. He treated his poor tenants very badly.
His tenants decided not to speak to him at all. Eventually word got back to the
landowner and the Captain was removed. The word “boycott” became popular and
was used by everyone to mean the kind of treatment that was received by CaptainBoycott.

大约有三百多个英语词汇是来自人名的.这些词汇很多都是专业的术语.比如,当有新的发明或发现出现以后,发明者或者科学家的名字就会被用来命名一个新的词汇.然而,不妨也来看看普通人名是如何变成常用词汇的.这也是非常有趣的事.有一个名叫三明治的领主,生于1718年死于1792年,生前喜欢坐在赌桌前吃夹着肉饼的面包.因为他是他朋友里唯一一个这么吃面包的人,所以他的朋友为了好玩就开始管那种面包叫三明治.后来,这个词汇也就成了英语语言中的一员.还有一个词,叫做抵制,意为拒绝和某人或某事扯上关系.它来源于一个名叫抵制的领班.他在1880年时是一个地产收租人,负责向租户收租,再向他的上头一个英国地主交税.但是这人是一个非常严苛的人,对那些可怜的租户非常坏.于是,那些租户就决定不跟他说任何话了.后来,消息传到了地主耳里,收租人被撤了职.“抵制”这个开始变得流行,被人们用来指代领班抵制所受到的类似待遇.
