閱讀測驗
Almost everyone who has visited a foreign country on vacation has purchased items to remember their trip. We sometimes buy gifts for others, but just as often, people buy things for themselves. The history of buying items to remember a place or experience stretches back thousands of years.
The word “souvenir” comes from French and means “memory.” It entered the English language in the late 1700s as a word for items that remind people of specific places or periods in the past. Of course, the tradition of collecting items from one’s travels goes back much farther than that. Many wealthy travelers in the ancient world, whether from Egypt, Greece, or China, would collect unique and exotic items to share stories and impress people back home.
