7. A Boy Named Henry
7.一个叫“亨利”的男孩
The Oh Henry! is a candy bar containing fudge, peanuts, and caramel. It's made by Nestle in the USA and by Hershey in Canada (the two versions are actually a little bit different). The official history (from the Nestle and Hershey Canada websites) says that the original Oh Henry! bar was introduced in 1920, by the Williamson Candy Company of Chicago.
“哦，亨利”是一种含有乳脂软糖、花生以及焦糖的糖块，它是由雀巢公司在美国和加拿大的赫尔希（Hershey）公司生产的（这两个公司生产的亨利糖块实际上有点不一样）。官方的历史（来自雀巢和赫尔希加拿大网站）表示，最初的亨利糖是由芝加哥威廉姆森糖果公司于1920 年引进的。
“The bar was named after a boy who used to come into the Williamson Candy Company factory to flirt with the girls making candy. Every time the girls needed to have something done, they would call ‘Oh Henry!' ”
“这种糖是由一个男孩的名字命名的，该男孩进入威廉姆森糖果公司工厂后经常与制作糖果的女孩调情。每次这些女孩需要做一些事情的时候，她们就会打电话说，‘噢，亨利'！”
Aww, how sweet. Is it true, though? There are other stories. One says that George Williamson (the founder of the candy company) enjoyed the short stories of William Sydney Porter, who wrote under the pen name O. Henry. Another story says the candy bar was originally developed by, and named after, Tom Henry, a candy maker who would help others improve their candy bars. One thing is certain—it wasn't named after King Henry VIII.
哇哦，多么甜蜜的故事啊！然而这是真的吗？关于这种糖名字的由来还有很多其他的故事版本。其中一个版本是说，乔治 · 威廉姆森（糖果公司的创始人）非常欣赏用“哦，亨利”作为笔名的作家——威廉悉尼 · 波特写的短篇故事。另外一个故事版本是说，这种糖果最初是由一个叫汤姆.亨利的人发明的,他是一位帮助别人改进他们的糖果的糖果制造商。而不论是到底哪一版本是才真的,我们可以肯定的是,这种糖果的名字一定与亨利八世无关。
