英语词汇vauxhall的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Vauxhall. It is very rare for an English word to be adopted in Russian as anything more than a slang expression. But that is just what happened with the Vauxhall railroad depot in Lon- don, which became the Russian voksal, their generic word for railroad station. The London depot was named for the Vauxhall district in London, which contained the famous Vauxhall gar- dens, a popular pleasure resort from 1661 to 1859. The gardens, in turn, took their name from Falkes or Fulkes de Breante, who was lord of a manor called Falkes Hall on the site in the early 13th century. Pepys mentions the public gardens, which soon came to be called Vauxhall, and Thackeray described them later before the gardens were closed and the site built over. From manor to garden to district to depot to Russian word—many stops along the line, but so it is that the communists, who would not consciously pay homage to royalty, honored an early Norman knight.
