10 People Immortalized As Foods
10个作为食物名而永垂不朽的人名
Over time, plenty of place names have become attached to food. For example, Hamburg got the hamburger and Brussels got the Brussels sprout. But more rarely, a person's name would be immortalized in cuisine. Listverse wrote about eggs Benedict and others in a previous list, but there are more!
在漫漫时间长河中，相当多的地名都与食物名紧密相关。例如，德国汉堡市(Hamburg)市名就取自汉堡包(hamburger)，比利时的布鲁塞尔(Brussels)得名于球芽甘蓝（Brussels sprout)。更为罕见的是，一个人的名字或许会作为一道菜系而永垂不朽。除以上述例子外，本文列出了班尼迪克鸡蛋（eggs Benedict）以及更多吃货们不可不知的，取自名人之名的食物。
10. Richard Williams And Enoch Bartlett
10.理查德·威廉姆斯(Richard Williams)和艾诺克·巴勒特
Outside of Asia, the most common variety of pear is the Williams pear, a special offshoot of the European pear tree species. It's named after Richard Williams, who raised the trees in his nursery and spread them across England. It's said that the first ones came from the yard of a schoolmaster in the village of Aldermaston.
在亚洲以外的地区，最常见的梨当属威廉姆斯梨(Williams pear),。这种梨是欧洲梨种的一个特殊分支。一位名叫理查德·威廉姆斯的人，他不仅在果园种植这种梨，还将它们传播到了整个英格兰，所以世人将此梨定名威廉姆斯梨。据说第一批威廉姆斯梨还产自奥尔德玛斯顿村（Aldermaston）一名老师的园圃里。
An American named James Carter (not the peanut-farming President) brought several Williams pear trees to the United States. They were planted on land owned by Thomas Brewer in Roxbury, Massachusetts. That land ended up in the hands of one Enoch Bartlett, who sold the pears and spread them across North America. Maybe he didn't know they already had a name, or maybe he just ignored that minor fact, but he called them Bartlett pears and the name stuck. It's what North Americans call them to this day.
后来，一位叫詹姆斯·卡特(James Carter) 的美国人将威廉姆斯梨引进了美国，并将它们种在位于马萨诸塞州罗克斯伯(Roxbury, Massachusetts)市一位名叫托马斯·布鲁(Thomas Brewer) 的农场主的土地里。可这块地很快被艾诺克·巴勒特（Enoch Bartlett）接手，他将梨销往北美各地。也许他并不知道该梨已经“芳名有主”，又或是他故意忽略这个事实，于是他就“任性”地把这种梨叫“巴勒特梨”（Bartlett pears）。巴勒特梨就作为该梨的名字在北美沿用至今了。
