- 1哈佛、哈佛大學
Harvard is a famous, highly respected university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the United States. It was founded in 1636, which makes it the oldest university in the US, and it belongs to the Ivy League — a small group of old, high-status American universities. People say “Harvard” as a short way of talking about top American education. Though actually, that fame can hide that it is a real campus with many schools inside it: a college for undergraduates, plus law, business, medicine, and others. It is named after John Harvard, a young minister who left the college his books and money in the 1630s. Cambridge, Massachusetts is not Cambridge, England; the American town was named after the English one. Stress the first part of the name: HAR-vərd.
組成The surname Harvard is a variant of Harward, from Middle English Herward / Herreward, from Old English Hereweard: here “army” + weard “guard”. It is a doublet of Harward and of the old name Hereward. In southeastern English speech, v and w fell together, which is why the name has v. The university is named for John Harvard.
