格莱美奖(音乐界)
The etymological origins of Grammy, of the Grammy Award, which is awarded for achievement in the recording industry by the American National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, may also seem obscure to some millennials. After all, in an era when turntables have mostly been supplanted by digital music players, what exactly ‘Grammy’ refers to – surely not their grandmother? – may confuse some. The name comes from the shortening of gramophone to gram, with the added -my influence of ‘Emmy’.
格莱美奖是由美国国家录音艺术与科学学院颁发给音乐界卓越贡献者的奖项。Grammy(格莱美)这个词可能千禧年后出生的人看到也会云里雾里,总不能是外婆(grandmother)吧?在这个时代,唱片已经被数字音乐播放器取代,而Grammy就是gramophone(留声机)的简写gram+ my后缀(和Emmy奖一样)组成。
