E-mail地址中的符号@是什么意思

That little "a" with a circle curling around it that is found in email addresses is

most commonly referred to as the "at" symbol.

小写字母a外加个圆圈，这一符号常出现在email（电子邮件）地址中，通常是

作为"at"(在)的标记。

Surprisingly though, there is no official, universal name for this sign. There are

dozens of strange terms to describe the @ symbol.

然而令人感到惊奇的是，这一标记居然没有官方的，通用的名称。有几十个奇怪

的术语用来描绘@这一符号。

Before it became the standard symbol for electronic mail, the @ symbol was

used to represent the cost or weight of something. For instance, if you purchased 6

apples, you might write it as 6 apples @ $1.10 each.

@这一符号在成为电子邮件的标准符号之前，曾被用来表示物品的单价或质量。

例如，你买6只苹果。就可以写成"六只苹果，每只@$1.10，表示每只苹果1.10美元。

With the introduction of e-mail came the popularity of the @ symbol. The @

symbol or the "at sign" separates a person's online user name from his mail server

address. For instance, joe@. Its widespread use on the

Internet made it necessary to put this symbol on keyboards in other countries that

have never seen or used the symbol before. As a result, there is really no official

name for this symbol.

随着电子邮件的使用，@这一符号越来越普及了。符号@或'at'标记将上网用户的

姓名与其邮件的服务器地址分开。例如：joe@。 这一符号在

因特网上的广泛使用使得许多以前从未见过或使用过它的国家必须在它们的电脑键盘

上加上这一符号键，结果造成这一符号并没有真正的官方名称。

The actual origin of the @ symbol remains an enigma.

@符号的确切起源仍然是谜。

History tells us that the @ symbol stemmed from the tired hands of the medieval

monks. During the Middle Ages before the invention of printing presses, every letter

of a word had to be painstakingly transcribed by hand for each copy of a published

book. The monks that performed these long, tedious copying duties looked for ways

to reduce the number of individual strokes per word for common words. Although the

word "at" is quite short to begin with, it was a common enough word in texts and

documents that medieval monks thought it would be quicker and easier to shorten

the word "at" even more. As a result, the monks looped the "t" around the "a" and

created it into a circle-eliminating two strokes of the pen.
