popped corn的縮寫

<注釋>Popcorn is very much an American institution.Particularly enjoyed by people in the United States,it is grown as a native product and denoted by a word that is an Americanism,a word or expression that was first used in English in the United States.Popcorn, from the verb pop and the noun corn, fits these criteriabecause the first recorded use of the word is found inMemorable Days in America, an account written by the British traveler William Faux and published in London in 823: .I crossed the Big Wabash . . . at La Valette`s ferry,where is beautiful land . . . and two lonely families of naked-legged French settlersfrom whom I received two curious ears of poss corn..Notice that either Faux misunderstood the termor the French settlers mispronounced it.This type of corn, introduced to the settlers by Native Americans,was long grown by them,little knowing that their benefaction would one day be consumed by countless moviegoers while watching Westerns.
爆玉米是美洲人非常熟知的事物。尤其為美國(guó)人喜歡，這種作物被他們作為本地作物而大量種植并以一個(gè)美國(guó)單詞來命名，這個(gè)詞首先在美國(guó)被用于英語中。Popcorn 源于動(dòng)詞 pop 和名詞 corn， 并且它適應(yīng)這些標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，因?yàn)橛嘘P(guān)這個(gè)詞的最早記錄見于由英國(guó)旅行者威廉·?？怂顾?、823年在倫敦出版的游記在美國(guó)的難忘日子 中，福克斯在其中寫道： .我在瓦萊特碼頭渡過大沃巴什河，那兒有美麗的田地…及兩個(gè)孤零零的法國(guó)家庭，他們都是赤腳的法國(guó)拓荒者，從他們那兒我得到了兩根奇怪的玉米棒。.請(qǐng)注意，要么也許是?？怂拐`解了該詞，要么也許是法國(guó)拓荒者發(fā)錯(cuò)了音。這種類型的玉米是美洲印第安人介紹給這些拓荒者的，且已被這些印第安人種植很久了，但他們幾乎無法料到他們的施惠有一天會(huì)被無數(shù)電影觀眾一邊嚼著一邊看西部片。
