英语词汇typewriter的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

typewriter. The word typewriter was coined by American Christopher Latham Sholes, who patented the first practical commercial typewriter in 1868 (slow, difficult machines, in- tended primarily for the blind, had been invented as early as 1714). Sholes’s “type-writer” had only capital letters. Manufac- tured by Remington, it was owned by Henry James, Mark Twain, and Sigmund Freud, among other famous early experi- menters. Mark Twain, in fact, typed The Adventures of Tom Sawyer on Sholes’s machine in 1875, this being the first type- written book manuscript (a fact that Twain kept secret in his lifetime because he didn’t want to write testimonials or show the uninitiated how to use the machine).
