kecap, tomato sauce 和ketchup的关系

袁滚衮

我搞不明白，黑黑的和红红的有什么关系？

One popular theory is that the word ketchup is derived from kôechiap or kê-tsiap which is from the Amoy dialect of China by way of the Malay word, kecap (pr. similar to "ketchup".

The exact Chinese characters for kôechiap has been disputed:

    * Theory 1: "ketchup" means "茄汁": "茄" is the Chinese character for "eggplant" or a shortened form of "tomato" (蕃茄). "Ketchup" means "茄汁" or "tomato juice (sauce)".
          o Pronunciations in modern Taiwanese dialect (very similar to that of Amoy): 茄(ki&ocirc 汁(chiap)
          o Pronunciations in modern Cantonese: 茄(ke4) 汁(jap1) (Sounds like Kay-dzup)
    * Theory 2: "ketchup" means "鮭汁": "鮭" is the Chinese character for "salmon" (鮭魚), or more generically, "fish". Therefore, "ketchup" means "鮭汁" or "fish sauce".
          o Pronunciations in modern Taiwanese dialect: 鮭(kôe) 汁(chiap)
          o Pronunciations in modern Cantonese: 鮭(gwai1) 汁(jap1)
