Hollywood 好萊塢

美國(guó)加利福尼亞州影視基地，詞源版本眾多。其中一種說(shuō)法是來(lái)自萊塢之父19世紀(jì)房地產(chǎn)開發(fā)商H.J.Whitley,據(jù)日記記載他在好萊塢某山頂渡蜜月時(shí)一個(gè)拉著板車的中國(guó)人跟他問(wèn)了個(gè)好，他禮貌性的回應(yīng)“你好，在做什么”，那個(gè)板車夫用拉長(zhǎng)了音調(diào)的中式英語(yǔ)回應(yīng)道，”I holly wood,”即I am hauling wood.Whitley覺(jué)得這個(gè)中式英語(yǔ)很好聽，Hollywood因此得名。

英文詞源

Hollywood: region near Los Angeles, named for the ranch that once stood there, which was named by Deida Wilcox, wife of Horace H. Wilcox, Kansas City real estate man, when they moved there in 1886. They began selling off building lots in 1891 and the village was incorporated in 1903. Once a quiet farming community, by 1910 barns were being converted into movie studios. The name was used generically for "American movies" from 1926, three years after the giant sign was set up, originally Hollywoodland, another real estate developer's promotion.
