<注釋>Chesterfield, a term for any type of sofa, was probably brought down from Canada, where it is common.According to Craig M. Carver inAmerican Regional Dialects, this regionalism is .unique to northern California..The word probably comes from the name of a 9th-century earl of Chesterfieldand originally referred .specifically to a couch with upright armrests at either end..It appears to have come into use in Canada around 903and in Northern California at about the same time.
Chester field 用來(lái)指任何一種沙發(fā)， 可能來(lái)自于加拿大，在那里這種用法相當(dāng)普遍。克雷格·M·卡弗在美國(guó)地區(qū)方言 中指出， 這種方言是.加利福尼亞州北部特有的.。這個(gè)詞可能源于9世紀(jì)的一個(gè)切斯特菲爾德伯爵的名字，最初用來(lái).專指一種兩側(cè)都有垂直扶手的長(zhǎng)沙發(fā).。903年前后這個(gè)詞開始在加拿大被使用，大約同時(shí)也在加利福尼亞北部被使用
