单词 | 人居住于 |
释义 | 〔Matabeleland〕A region of western Zimbabwe. Inhabited by the Ndebele people after 1827, it came under the control of the British South Africa Company in 1889.马塔贝列:津巴布韦西部的一个地区。1827年后恩德比利族人居住于此,1889年成为英国南非公司的统治区〔mammoth〕The mammoth was introduced to the English-speaking world after mammoth skeletons were discovered in Siberia,so it is no surprise that this creature's name is taken from Russian,even though the animal roamed over Eurasia and North America.The Russian word, nowmamant' but formerlymamot as well, was borrowed into English in variant spellings.It was first recorded in 1706in the formMammuth, but in 1763 we find the formmammon. It is said that the Russian word is a borrowing of an Ostyak word (the Ostyak people live in western Siberia),but this has not been proved.猛犸这个词是在西伯利亚发现猛犸骨骼之后才引入英语的,所以这种动物的名称起源于俄语也就不足为奇了,尽管这种动物曾在欧亚大陆和北美到处游荡。俄语中的这个词,现在是mamant' , 但以前为mamot , 被引入英文时出现了不同的拼写方法。最早的记载是1706年,其形式是Mammuth, 但在1763年,其形式就变成了mammon。 据说俄语这个词也是源于一个奥斯加克语中一个词(奥斯加克人居住于西伯利亚西部),但这种说法还没有得到证实〔Apache〕A Native American people inhabiting the southwest United States and northern Mexico. Various Apache tribes offered strong resistance to encroachment on their territory in the latter half of the 19th century. Present-day Apache populations are located in Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.阿帕契族:居住在美国西南部和墨西哥北部的一支美国土著民族。在19世纪后半期,各个阿帕契族部落强烈抵制对他们领土的入侵。现在的阿帕契族人居住于亚利桑那州、新墨西哥州和俄克拉荷马州 |
