margarine 的词源

人造黄油，1873年，源自法语 margarine（参见 margarin）。1869年，由法国科学家希波利特·梅日-穆里耶发明，部分成分来自可食用的脂肪和油。

The "enterprising merchant" of Paris, who sells Margarine as a substitute for Butter, and does not sell his customers by selling it as Butter, and at Butter's value, has very likely found honesty to be the best policy. That policy might perhaps be adopted with advantage by an enterprising British Cheesemonger. ["Punch," Feb. 21, 1874]

巴黎的“进取商人”将人造黄油作为黄油的替代品出售，并且不以黄油的价格出售给顾客，这很可能让他发现了诚实是最好的政策。这一政策或许也可以被一位进取的英国奶酪商所采纳。[《Punch》，1874年2月21日]
