覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Nobel Prize は、発明家 Alfred Nobel の姓 Nobel と「賞」の Prize の組み合わせです。人名由来なので Nobel の N、正式な賞名なので Prize の P を大文字にします。win、receive、award the Nobel Prize という結び付きを、科学・文学・平和などの分野で顕著な功績をたたえる国際的な賞の場面と一緒に覚えましょう。
Break the name into Nobel, the surname of Alfred Nobel, and prize, an award. Capitalize both main words because this is the official name of a particular group of awards. Remember it through common combinations: win the Nobel Prize, receive the Nobel Prize, and award the Nobel Prize. Link those phrases to major achievements in science, literature, or peace. Nobel is a person’s name here, so do not confuse its spelling with noble, the adjective meaning honorable or belonging to a high social rank.

Nobel Prize の語源・成り立ち Etymology
スウェーデンの発明家アルフレッド・ノーベルの名前に由来します。彼の遺言をもとに作られた賞です。
The Nobel Prize takes its name from Alfred Nobel, the Swedish inventor, engineer, and industrialist whose will provided for prizes recognizing major benefits to humankind. The first prizes were awarded in 1901. Nobel is therefore a personal surname in this expression, while prize is the ordinary English noun for an award. The later prize in economic sciences was established separately in memory of Alfred Nobel rather than directly by his will.
