- turkey(火鸡):形如“土耳其鸡”的北美大鸟15、16世纪的土耳其(Turkey)首都君士坦丁堡是连接欧亚的重要贸易枢纽,很多商人在那里销售来自非洲的商品,其中就包含一种产自非洲马达加斯加岛的大型鸟类。这种鸟原本叫做“珍珠鸡”(guinea fowl),但在土耳其被商人改称为“土耳其鸡”(Turkey cock)销往英国。后来这种鸟被英国人简称为turkey。当英国人来到美洲大陆殖民时,发现当地也出产一种体型巨大的鸟类,长相与珍珠鸡很像,误以为是珍珠鸡的一种,便也将这种鸟称为turkey。其实,这种鸟与产自非洲的珍珠鸡并非同类,而是北美特有的火鸡,后来成为北美人们感恩节上的常见佳肴。 还有一种说法认为,火鸡被北美殖民者发现后,经由土耳其人走向世界,故被称为turkey。 turkey:['tɜːkɪ] n.火鸡,笨蛋 Turkey:['tɜːkɪ] n.土耳其
