Each language has its own biological system, which makes it different from all other languages. This system must constantly adjust to a new environment an
24、d new situations to survive and flourish (兴盛 ).

There
25、 are several specific processes by which new words are formed. Some words come into the language which sound like what they refer to. Words like buzz (嗡嗡 ) and ding-dong are good examples of this process. Still another way in which new words are formed is to use the name of a person or a place close
26、ly associated with that words meaning. The words sandwich and hamburger are examples of this word-formation process. The Earl ( 伯爵 ) of Sandwich was so fond of gambling at cards that he hated to be interrupted by the necessity of eating. He thus invented a new way of eating while he continued his ga
27、me at the gambling table. This quick and convenient dish is what we now call a sandwich-a piece of meat between two slices of bread.
