8 The Name Game

CHAPTER 8 THE NAME GAME I'm so excited! I check out a book called How Inventions and Other Things Got Their Names. It's very interesting. For instance, the guy who first ate an artichoke was named Arty and he choked.

第八章名字游戏我太兴奋了！我看了一本叫《发明和其他东西是如何得名的》的书。 这很有趣。例如，第一个吃洋蓟的人叫Arty，他噎住了。

The wheel was named because its inventor rode it down a hill and yelled, "Wheeee!" And his best friend said, "We'll have an awesome time with this." Nomad scientists invented sandals for walking in the desert. They also invented sandpaper and sandwiches. Maybe I'll figure out an easy way to clone ice cream. And I'll call it—the ice-cream clone. WHEEE!

轮子之所以得名，是因为它的发明者骑着它下山并大喊：“Wheeee!”他最好的朋友说：“我们会玩得很开心的。” 游牧民族的科学家发明了在沙漠中行走的凉鞋。 他们还发明了砂纸和三明治。 也许我会想出一个克隆冰淇淋的简单方法。 我把它叫做冰激凌克隆版。 WHEEE !
