英语词汇pitch的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	pitch
词源	pitch. Every sales pitch, or presentation, harks back to the spiel of a carnival pitchman in the early years of this century. The pitchman, in turn, got his name from the pitch, or stand, that he worked from. And pitch itself originally meant land se- lected by a settler in colonial America, the expression recorded as early as 1699. Long before to make one’s pitch meant to give a sales talk, it meant to settle down on one’s land.
