一些品牌的有趣起源

Due to a mistake, Larry Page misspelled the name: Instead of "googol," he wrote "google," and the web and the company were registered with this "error." But, in fact, this mistake only worked to distinguish the search engine from the rest and rise to what it is today.

由于一个错误，拉里·佩奇拼错了名字：写成了Google，而不是“googol”，然而网络和公司都以这个“错误”注册了名字。但是，事实上，这个错误只是使谷歌区别于其他搜索引擎，并一路发展到今天。

McDonald's, the inventors of fast food

麦当劳，快餐的发明者

The entrepreneur Ray Kroc was the mastermind behind the expansion of the chain, but the original name comes from the last name of the inventors of the "fast food" concept: Maurice "Mac" and Richard "Dick" McDonald. Before 1940, they owned and operated a successful restaurant, but once World War II was over, they decided to try a new system to reduce the time people waited for their food.

企业家雷·克拉克是麦当劳连锁扩张的幕后推动者，但“麦当劳”这一名字最初来自于“快餐”概念的发明者的名字：莫里斯·麦克和理查德·“迪克”麦克唐纳。在1940年之前，他们拥有并经营着一家成功的餐馆，但第二次世界大战结束后，他们决定尝试一种新的供餐系统，以减少人们等待食物的时间。

The first McDonald's opened in 1948. It had a menu of only a few items and executed standardized processes that allowed the brothers to accelerate the food preparation and sell it at a very competitive price. Their success led them to remodel the architecture of the restaurant too, building the prototype of the famous golden arches.
