اسم شركت هاي مهم (اصلش؟)

yes · Sep 11, 2005

سلام
من میخواستم ببینم کسی اینگلیسی این متن زیر رو داره؟؟

Adobe : اسم رودخانه اي كه از پشت منزل مؤسس آن جان وارناك عبور مي كند.
Apple : ميوه مورد علاقه استيو جابز مؤسس و بنيانگذار شركت اپل سيب بود و بنابراين اسم شركتش را نيز اپل (به معني سيب ) گذاشت.
Cisco : مخفف شده كلمه سان فرانسيسكو (San Francisco) است كه يكي از بزرگترين شهرهاي امريكا است.
Google : گوگل در رياضي نام عدد بزرگي است كه تشكيل شده است از عدد يك با صد تا صفر جلوي آن .
مؤسسين سايت و موتور جستجوي گوگل به شوخي ادعا مي كنند كه اين موتور جستجو مي تواند اين تعداد اطلاعات (يعني يك گوگل اطلاعات ) را مورد پردازش قرار دهد.
Hotmail : اين سايت يكي از سرويس دهندگان پست الكترونيكي به وسيله صفحات وب است.
هنگامي كه مدير پروژه برنامه مي خواست نامي براي اين سايت انتخاب كند علاقه مند بود تا نام انتخاب شده اولاً مانند ساير سرويس دهندگان پست الكترونيك به mail ختم شده و دوماً برروي وبي بودن آن نيز تأكيد شود. بنابراين نام Hotmail را انتخاب كرد. در كلمه Hotmail حروف Html به ترتيب پشت سرهم قرار گرفته اند. گاهي اوقات اسم اين سايت را به صورت HotMail نيز مي نويسد.
HP : شركت معظم HP توسط دو نفر بنام هاي بيل هيولت و ديو پاكارد تأسيس شد.
اين دو نفر براي اينكه شركت هيولد پاكارد يا پاكارد هيولت ناميده شود مجبور به استفاده از روش قديمي شير – خط شدند و نتيجه هيولد پاكارد از آب در آمد.
Intel : از آنجاييكه اين شركت از بدو تأسيس با تأكيد روي ساخت مدارات مجتمع ايجاد شد. نام آن را INTegrated Electronics يا به طور مختصر INTEL نهادند.
Lotus : ميچ كاپور مؤسس شركت كه هندي الاصل بود از حالت لوتوس كه يك اصطلاح مديتيشن متعالي (T.M.) مي باشد براي نامگذلزي شركتش استفاده كرد.
Mirosoft : نام شركت ابتدا به صورت Micro-soft نوشته مي شد ولي به مرور زمان به صورت فعلي در آمد. Microsoft مخفف MICROcomputer SOFTware است. و دليل نامگذاري شركت به اين اسم نيز آن است كه بيل گيتس مؤسس شركت آن را با هدف نوشتن و توسعه نرم افزارهاي ميكروكامپيوتر ها تأسيس كرد.
Motorola : شركت موتورولا با هدف درست كردن بي سيم و راديوي خودرو كار خود را آغاز كرد. از آنجاييكه مشهورترين سازنده بي سيم و راديو هاي اتومبيل در آن زمان شركت Victrola بود. مؤسس اين شركت يعني آقاي پال كالوين نيز اسم شركتش را موتورولا گذاشت تا علاوه بر داشتن مشابهت اسمي كلمه موتور نيز به نوعي در اسم شركتش وجود داشته باشد.
Oracle : مؤسس شركت اوراكل يعني لري اليسون و باب اوتس قبل از تأسيس شركت روي پروژه اي براي CIA كار مي كردند . اين پروژه كه اوراكل نام داشت بنا بود تا با داشتن مقادير زيادي اطلاعات بتواند تا جواب تمام سؤال هاي پرسيده شده توسط اپراتور را با مراجعه به مخزن اطلاعات بدهد. ( اوراكل در اساطير يوناني الهه الهام است. ) اين دو نفر پس از پايان اين پروژه شركتي تأسيس كرده و آن را به همين اسم نامگذاري كردند.
Red Hat : مؤسس شركت آقاي مارك اوينگ در دوران جواني از پدربزرگش كلاهي با نوارهاي قرمز و سفيد دريافت كرده بود ولي در دوران دانشگاه آن را گم كرد . زماني كه اولين نسخة اين سيستم عامل آماده شد مارك اوينگ آن را همراه با راهنماي كاربري نرم افزار در اختيار دوستان و هم دانشگاهيش قرار دارد. اولين جمله اين راهنماي كاربري « درخواست براي تحويل كلاه قرمز گم شده » بود.
Sony : Sony از كلمه لاتين Sonus به معناي صدا مشتق شده است .
SUN : اين شركت معظم توسط چهار تن از فارغ التحصيلان دانشگاه استانفورد تأسيس شد. Sun مخفف عبارت Standford Univercity Network مي باشد .
Xerox : كلمه Xer در زبان يوناني به معناي خشك است و اين براي تكنولوژي كپي كردن خشك در زماني كه اكترا كپي كردن به روشهاي فتوشيميايي انجام مي گرفت فوق العاده حائز اهميت بود.
Yahoo: اين كلمه براي اولين بار در كتاب سفر هاي گاليور مورد استفاده قرار گرفته و به معني شخصي است كه داراي ظاهر و رفتاري زننده است . مؤسسين سايت Yahoo جري يانگ و ديويد فيلو نام سايتشان را Yahoo گذاشتند چون فكر مي كردند خودشان هم Yahoo هستند.

و یا آیا میتونه برام به انگلیسی ترجمه کنه ؟

از خجالتتون درمیام
