    Martha's Vineyard got its name from its discoverer, Artholomew   Gasnold, who named it after his wife Martha, and it was also in memory   of the thick growth of wild vines (葡萄) on the land.

  

    The island of Martha's Vineyard lies south of Cape Cod off the   Southeastern coast of Massachusetts, United States. It is nearly 20   miles long and runs from 2 to 10 miles in width. There are wide, hard   beaches on the southern side. The north is hilly, but in the south and   eastern parts there are wide areas of open land covered with wild   flowers.

    The island was discovered early in the 17th century. The Indians   were quiet and friendly, and the new-comers fished for a living,   making a lot of money from whaling (捕鲸). With the decline (衰落) of   whaling and sailing ships, Martha's Vineyard was almost forgotten   until about 60 years ago when people began to buy the old houses of   the whaling captains and the sheds of the fishermen near the beaches.   Now people go there year after year for their summer holidays.
