英语词汇string bean的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

string bean. String beans is an Americanism for green beans, first recorded in 1759 and so named for the stringlike fibers along the vegetable sutures. When Burpee & Co. seedsmen de- veloped the Beautiful Burpee, “the stringless string bean,” in 1894 the term string bean began to take a back seat to green bean. It is still heard, however, along with other synonyms like snap beans (named for the sound the pods make when broken), wax beans (yellow varieties), kidney beans, and haricot. Napo- leon wouldn’t eat string beans, afraid that he would choke on the strings.
