See table at currency 荷兰盾：荷兰、荷属安的列斯群岛和苏里南的基本货币单位 参见 currency〔ballyhoo〕The origin ofballyhoo has been the subject of much speculation. This spelling has actually graced four different words:ballyhoo, "sensational advertising"; ballyhoo, a spelling of balao, a kind of fish; ballyhoo, a part of the name ballyhoo bird, about which more later; andballyhoo, a sailor's epithet for a disliked ship. This lastballyhoo (first recorded in 1836) was thought to be related to, or the same as, the word ballahou, from Spanishbalahú, "a type of schooner common in the Antilles.” First recorded in 1867,ballahou, besides being a term for a specific kind of ship, was also used contemptuously of inferior ships.But the connection between these sailing terms or the name of the fish and our wordballyhoo, first recorded in 1901, has not been established. There may, however, be a tie betweenballyhoo and the creature called a ballyhoo bird. According to a July 1880 article inHarper's, the bird had four wings and two heads and could whistle through one bill while singing through the other.Anyone who has ever hunted a snipe will know what hunting ballyhoo birds was like.单词ballyhoo 的来源一直存在种种推测。 这个词的拼写实际上包含有四个不同的词：ballyhoo， 意为“耸人听闻的广告”； ballyhoo， 是 balao 的一种拼写，是一种鱼； ballyhoo， 是 ballyhoo bird 的一部分,其出现更晚； 还有一个是ballyhoo， 是水手对不喜欢的船的称呼。 这最后一个ballyhoo （最早记载于1836年）被认为与 ballahou 有关或相同， 该词来自西班牙语balahu， 意为“流行于安的列斯群岛的一种纵帆船。” 首次记载于1867年，ballahou 一词除表示一种特殊的船外， 还表示同时代的劣等船。但这些与航海有关的词或鱼类名称的词与我们所使用的、首次记载于1901年的一词ballyhoo 之间尚未建立联系。 然而也许ballyhoo 一词与被称为 ballyhoo bird 的生物之间有某种联系。 根据1880年7月哈帕斯 杂志中一篇文章的描写， 这种鸟有四翅双头，可以用其中一张嘴吹哨，同时用另一张嘴唱歌。任何曾经猎过鹬鸟的人将会知道捕猎“巴里嗬”鸟是怎样的一种情景〔Antilles〕The islands of the West Indies except for the Bahamas, separating the Caribbean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean and divided into theGreater Antilles to the north and the Lesser Antilles to the east. 安的列斯群岛：西印度群岛中除巴哈马群岛之外的岛屿，把加勒比海和大西洋隔开，分为北部的大安的列斯群岛 和东部的 小安的列斯群岛 〔Taino〕A member of an Arawak people of the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas who became extinct under Spanish colonization during the 16th century.泰诺人：大安的列斯群岛和巴哈马群岛上阿拉瓦克族的一支，在16世纪西班牙殖民时期灭绝〔Arawakan〕A member of a widespread group of Indian peoples living in an area of South America that includes parts of Colombia, Venezuela, Guiana, the Amazon basin of Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, and formerly most of the Greater Antilles.阿拉瓦克族：生活在南美地区的一支广泛分布的印第安人的一支，该地区包括哥伦比亚、委内瑞拉、圭亚纳，巴西亚马孙盆地，巴拉圭，玻利维亚，秘鲁的部分区域，和早期大安的列斯群岛大部〔Carib〕Also Car.i.ban [kărʹə-bən, kə-rēʹbənʹ] A member of a group of American Indian peoples of northern South America, the Lesser Antilles, and the eastern coast of Central America. 也作 Car.i.ban [kărʹə-bən, kə-rēʹbənʹ] 加勒比人：南美洲北部、小安的列斯群岛以及中美洲东部海岸的美洲印第安人〔Arawak〕A member of a South American Indian people formerly inhabiting much of the Greater Antilles and now living chiefly in certain regions of Guiana.阿拉瓦克人：南美印第安族成员，早先居住在大安的列斯群岛大部，现在主要生活于圭亚纳的某些地区〔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〔cent〕A unit of currency in Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Brunei, Canada, Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Dominica, Ethiopia, Fiji, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Kenya, Liberia, Kiribati, Liberia, Malta, Mauritius, Namibia, Nauru, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, New Zealand, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Swaziland, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Tuvalu, Uganda, United States, and Zimbabwe.
