| 释义 | 〔luminaria〕In recent yearsit has become commonplace to see entire American neighborhoods decorated during holiday seasons withluminarias lining driveways, sidewalks, or rooftops. A luminaria is a votive candle set inside a small decorative paper bag weighted with sand.The bags are usually colored and often perforated with designsthrough which the candle inside shows as bright pinpricks of light.The custom of luminarias comes from Mexicoand is associated especially with the southwest United States.The same word is used for a similar holiday custom of the Pueblo peoples in New Mexico.On Christmas Evethey build a bonfire, called aluminaria, outside each house in the pueblo. 近年来，整个美国的住宅区在节日期间沿车道、人行道或屋顶装饰luminarias 变得很平常。 传统圣诞灯是放在放了沙子的装饰性小纸袋中的还愿蜡烛。这些纸袋通常五颜六色而且上面有孔，里面的蜡烛通过小孔发出细细的亮光。传统圣诞灯来源于墨西哥，尤与美国西南部联系在一起。同样的词也用于新墨西哥普艾布洛人类似的节日风俗。在圣诞前夜，他们在每座房屋前燃烧起一堆叫luminaria 的营火 〔pueblo〕Any of some 25 Native American peoples, including the Hopi, Zuñi, and Taos, living in established villages in northern and western New Mexico and northeast Arizona. The Pueblo are descendants of the cliff-dwelling Anasazi peoples and are noted for their skilled craft in pottery, basketry, weaving, and metalworking.普埃布洛族：美洲约25个土著民族之一，包括霍皮人、祖尼人和陶人，居住在新墨西哥的北部、西部及美国亚利桑那州东北部的村庄中。普埃布洛人是居住在悬崖上的阿那萨齐民族的后裔，他们以陶器、编篮、编织和金属制造方面的出色技艺而闻名〔pueblo〕A permanent village or community of any of the Pueblo peoples, typically consisting of multilevel adobe or stone apartment dwellings of terraced design clustered around a central plaza.普埃布洛印地安人部落：普埃布洛民族永久性村庄或社区，由环绕中心广场的梯型设计的多层土砖或石制住房组成〔pueblo〕A member of any of these peoples.普埃布洛人：这些民族的成员〔pueblo〕The identity of the Pueblo peoples is undeniably connected to the stone and adobe dwellings they have occupied for more than 700 years—especially from an etymological point of view.Originally coming from the Latin wordpopulus, "people, nation,” the Spanish wordpueblo, meaning "town, village,” as well as "nation, people,”was naturally applied by 16th-century Spanish explorers to villages that they discovered or founded in the Southwest.The English wordpueblo is first recorded in an American text in this sense in 1808, marking it as an Americanism.The distinctive adobe or stone villages of the Pueblo peoples,with some buildings rising as high as five stories,must have impressed the Spaniards considerably,becausepueblo came to be transferred from a name for the village to a name for its inhabitants, perhaps in honor of their architectural achievements or simply as an obvious way to distinguish the Pueblo from other Native American peoples.The first recorded usage of this sense is found in 1834.无可质疑，普埃布洛族的象征是与他们已经居住了700年的土石结构房屋联系在一起的——尤其是从词源学的角度来看。最初源于意为“民族，国家”的拉丁语populus， 意为“城镇，村庄”的西班牙语pueblo ， 同时也有“民族，国家”的意思，16世纪的西班牙探险家们很自然地用这个词来称呼他们在西南部发现或建立的村庄。英语中pueblo 的这个含义最早记载于1808年的一篇美国课文中， 这标志着它成了一个美语词。普埃布洛族有特色的石造和土造村庄，有些建筑高达五层，肯定给西班牙人留下了深刻的印象，因为pueblo 这个词是从这个村庄的名字转变成村庄中居民的名字的， 这可能是出于对他们建筑成就的敬仰或仅仅作为将普埃布洛族和其它美洲土著民族区分开的明显途径。这个词义是在1834年最早有使用记载的。〔browallia〕Any of various tropical American herbs of the genusBrowallia, having blue, violet, or white flowers with united petals. 布洛华丽茄：一种美国热带草本植物，布洛华丽茄 属，开蓝色、紫色或白色花，花萼聚合在一起 〔Taos〕A Pueblo people located north-northeast of Santa Fe, New Mexico.陶斯人：一支居住于美国新墨西哥州圣大菲城东北偏北的普埃布洛印地安人中的成员〔pueblo〕Spanish [people, pueblo] 西班牙语 [民族，普埃布洛族] |
