| 释义 | 〔maroon〕The history of the wordmaroon, which we associate with desert islands, takes us back to the days of slavery, when the nounmaroon was a term in English for a Black person who lived in the mountains and forests of Dutch Guiana (Suriname) and the West Indies, a term that is still used in parts of the Caribbean.These were plantation slaveswho had run away to live free in uncultivated parts.The English word is taken from the French wordmarron, "runaway Black slave,”which in turn was an alteration of American Spanishcimarrón, meaning "runaway slave.”Cimarrón is perhaps from cima, "summit.” Having come into English (first recorded in 1666),maroon took on a life of its own and came to be used as a verbmeaning "to be lost in the wilds,”from which our sense "to put ashore on a deserted island or coast" evolved.单词maroon 与荒岛有关联，其历史可追溯到奴隶制时代， 当时英语中的maroon 这个词指的是生活在荷属圭亚那（苏里南）和西印度群岛的黑人， 在加勒比的某些地区这个词仍在使用。这些人本是种植园里的奴隶，他们逃到未开发的土地上自由自在地生活。英语中的这个词源于法语中的marron ， 意思是“逃亡的黑奴”，它又是美洲西班牙语cimarron 的变形， 其意为“逃亡的奴隶”。Cinmarron 可能源于 cima ，“顶峰”。 进入英语之后（最早的记载在1666年），maroon 具有了自己的内涵， 而且开始被作为动词使用，意思是“在荒野中迷失方向”，我们的“将…置于一个荒凉的岛上或海岸边”这个意思就是从这里发展而来〔guava〕[of Caribbean Indian origin] [源于加勒比印第安语] 〔Caribbean〕Of or relating to the Caribbean Sea, its islands, or its Central or South American coasts or to the peoples or cultures of this region.加勒比的：加勒比海诸岛的、与加勒比海诸岛有关的，加勒比海中南部美洲海岸的、加勒比海人或文化的，与加勒比海中南部美洲海岸有关的、与加勒海人或文化有关的〔maguey〕[of Cariban origin] [源于加勒比] 〔Calinago〕A member of a Caribbean Indian people inhabiting the Lesser Antilles.阿拉瓦克族：居住在小安的列斯群岛的加勒比印第安人中的一个民族〔Caribbean〕Of or relating to the Carib or their language or culture.加勒比人：加勒比人的、加勒比语或加勒比文化的，与加勒比人、加勒比语或加勒比文化有关的〔zouk〕A popular dance music of the French West Indies, combining African drumming styles with influences from American and Caribbean popular music.左克舞曲：法属西印度群岛流行舞曲，融合非洲鼓乐风格和美洲、加勒比流行音乐〔Miskito〕A member of an American Indian people inhabiting the Caribbean coast of northeast Nicaragua and southeast Honduras.米斯基托人：居住在加勒比湾沿岸、尼加拉瓜东北部和洪都拉斯东南部的美洲印第安人的一支〔papaya〕[both of Cariban origin] [两者都源于加勒比] 〔zydeco〕Popular music of southern Louisiana that combines French dance melodies, elements of Caribbean music, and the blues, played by small groups featuring the guitar, the accordion, and a washboard. 柴迪科舞曲：南路易斯安那的流行音乐，融合了法国舞曲、加勒比音乐的曲调和布鲁斯，特点是由演唱小组用吉它、手风琴和敲击板演奏〔Morgan〕Welsh buccaneer who raided Spanish ships and settlements in the Caribbean and was acting governor of Jamaica (1680-1682).摩根，亨利：(1635?-1688) 抢劫西班牙船只并定居于加勒比的威尔士海盗，曾出任牙买加总督(1680年-1682年） |
