(来自https://www.mdmunicipal.org/cities/index.cfm?townname=Accident&page=home) The town of Accident is located near Deep Creek Lake in northern Garrett County, the westernmost county of Maryland. According to historians, the town can trace its name to about 1750 when King George II of England paid off a debt to George Deakins by giving him 600 acres of land in western Maryland. Mr. Deakins sent out two parties of engineers—each without knowledge of the other—to find and survey the best land in that section of Maryland. When the engineers returned, they discovered, much to their surprise, that they had each marked the same oak tree as a starting point and then marked off the same 600 acres. Mr. Deakins considered it safe to choose this land and had it patented as “The Accident Tract.” Hence, the unusual name of the town. 所以,我以为,这个屯的名字理解为“巧合”“机缘”可能更符合George Deakins的本意。 (以下来自https://www.answers.com/accident) ac·ci·dent (ăk'sĭ-dənt, -dĕnt') n. 1。An unexpected and undesirable event, especially one resulting in damage or harm: car accidents on icy roads. 2。An unforeseen incident: A series of happy accidents led to his promotion. --- 这个世界从不缺乏美, 缺乏的是发现美的眼睛! |
