由人名而来的词表达

  　　Oscar，one of several gold statuettes awarded annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the USA for outstanding achievements in the cinema. The trophies，first awarded in 1929，were not called Oscars until1931，when，so it is said，the Academy‘s librarian，Margaret Herrick，remarked that the statuettes reminded her of her uncle Oscar. A newspaper reporter who happened to be listening passed this fact on to his readers，and so，the story goes，the word came into the language.

　　奥斯卡是一尊金雕像，一年一度由美国电影艺术与科学学院颁发给电影辊有突出业绩的人士。该奖项始于1929年，但直到1931年才被称为奥斯卡奖。据说学院的图书馆员玛格丽特。赫里克说该雕像使她想起她的叔叔奥斯卡。一名报社记者恰巧听到，便把这一信息传达给读者，奥斯卡奖由此得名。

　　Pulitzer prizes，awarded annually for outstanding achievements in journalism，literature，and music. Named after Joseph Pulitzer（1847-1911），the Hungarian-born US newspaper publisher，the prizes were established by Pulitzer‘s will.
