Tesco
/ˈteskəʊ/
/ˈteskəʊ/
(also Tesco's)
- one of Britain's largest chains of supermarkets. It was started by Jack Cohen (1898-1979), a Jewish immigrant who started selling tea in a market in the East End of London just after the First World War. The name Tesco was used first in 1924 on a brand of tea sold by Cohen; it consisted of the first letters of T E Stockwell, who was a partner in a firm that supplied the tea, and the first two letters of Cohen's own name. In 1929 Cohen opened a food shop in London, and by the beginning of the Second World War there were many more Tesco shops in or near London. In the 1970s, Tesco superstores began to appear and there are now thousands of shops across Britain, in or just outside most towns and cities. The largest ones sell not only food but also clothes and household goods, as well as providing other services. In 1997 Tesco started its own bank, and in 2003 it began offering mobile phone services. It also has stores in many countries across the world.
特易购（Tesco）：英国最大的连锁超市之一。它是由犹太移民杰克·科恩（Jack Cohen，1898-1979年）创立的，他在第一次世界大战后就开始在伦敦东区的一个市场上出售茶叶。特易购（Tesco）这个名字最早是在1924年用于科恩（Cohen）出售的茶品牌上。它由TE Stockwell（供应茶的公司的合伙人）的前几个字母以及Cohen自己名字的前两个字母组成。1929年，科恩（Cohen）在伦敦开设了一家食品店，到第二次世界大战开始时，伦敦或附近的乐购商店也越来越多。在1970年代，特易购（Tesco）超级市场开始出现，现在在英国各地，成千上万的商店都在大多数城镇内外。最大的商店不仅出售食物，还出售衣物和家庭用品，并提供其他服务。乐购（Tesco）在1997年成立了自己的银行，并在2003年开始提供手机服务。它还在全球许多国家设有商店。 - I buy most of my food at Tesco.
