| 词源 | Throgmorton Street. Throgmorton Street is to England what Wall Street is to America—the center of the financial or busi- ness world. The Stock Exchange is located on this narrow Lon- don Street, which was named for Sir Nicholas Throgmorton (1515–71), who served Queen Elizabeth I as a soldier and am- bassador to France and Scotland. The diplomat was given to in- trigue, however, and also served two stretches in the Tower, though not stretched on the rack there. |
