Hollywood 中文词源

美国加利福尼亚州影视基地，词源版本众多。其中一种说法是来自莱坞之父19世纪房地产开发商H.J.Whitley,据日记记载他在好莱坞某山顶渡蜜月时一个拉着板车的中国人跟他问了个好，他礼貌性的回应“你好，在做什么”，那个板车夫用拉长了音调的中式英语回应道，”I holly wood,”即I am hauling wood.Whitley觉得这个中式英语很好听，Hollywood因此得名。

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.
