| 单词 | 活动房屋 |
| 释义 | 〔trailer〕A furnished van drawn by a truck or an automobile and used when parked as a dwelling or an office.汽车拖的活动房屋：由卡车或汽车牵引的经过装修的轻型车，停下来时可用作住所或办公室〔wanigan〕Wanigan is apparently borrowed from Ojibwa waanikaan, "storage pit,” from the verbwaanikkee-, "to dig a hole in the ground.” Nineteenth-century citations in theOxford English Dictionary indicate that the word was then associated chiefly with the speech of Maine. It denoted a storage chest containing small supplies for a lumber camp,a boat outfitted to carry such supplies,or, as in Algonquian, the camp equipment and provisions.In Alaska, on the western edge of the vast territory inhabited by Algonquian-speaking tribes,the same word was borrowed into English to indicate a little temporary hut, usually built on a log raft to be towed to wherever men were working. According to Russell Tabbert of the University of Alaska,wanigan is still used in the northernmost regions of Alaska to mean "a small house, bunkhouse, or shed mounted on skids" to be dragged along behind a tractor train as a place for a work crew to eat and sleep. However, Tabbert notes that in southeast Alaska, where mobile homes are a common option for housing,wanigan now means an addition built onto a trailer house for extra living or storage space. Classified advertisements for trailer homes frequently mentionwanigans. Wanigan 很显然是从奥吉布瓦语 waanikdan 而来， “储物处”从动词waanikkee （意为“在地上挖洞”）而来。 牛津英语词典 里的19世纪的引文表明，该词当时主要与缅因语相连。 它指示供应木料营地用的贮物箱，载有供应品的小船，或如在阿尔贡金语中所指的宿营装备或供应品。在阿拉斯加讲阿尔贡金语部族居住的广大土地西端，该词被借入到英语中，表示一个通常是建在木筏上的临时性小屋，每当人们搬迁的时候就将其拽走。根据阿拉斯加大学的拉塞尔·泰伯特所言，wanigan 仍然用于阿拉斯加最北部地区，意为用牵引车牵引着的供一工作组食宿的“建于轮子上的小房子、工房或工棚”。 但是泰伯特指出，在阿拉斯加东南部常选择活动房作为住所，wanigan 现在的意思是供额外居住或贮存用的一个活动房屋的附加物。 关于活动房屋的分类广告经常提到wanigans 〔Quonset〕A trademark used for a prefabricated portable hut having a semicircular roof of corrugated metal that curves down to form walls. This trademark often occurs in attributive contexts in print:"a Quonset building that once stored grain" (Chicago Tribune); "an unassuming assemblage of clapboard buildings, Quonset storage huts, and docks" (Christian Science Monitor). It sometimes occurs in lowercase: 匡西特活动房屋：一种用来指由预制件组成的可移动小屋的商标。小屋屋顶为半圆形，为波纹金属，卷下来可组成墙壁。在印刷品中，这个商标经常出现在表定语的语境中：“曾用来贮藏粮食的匡西特式建筑物” （芝加哥论坛）； “一堆毫不起眼的隔板建筑物，匡西特储藏屋和船坞” （基督教科学箴言报）。有时它也以小写出现： 〔doublewide〕Two mobile homes, each 24 feet in width, bolted together as a single unit and used as a permanent residence.二合一房屋：各24英尺宽的两座活动房屋合在一起成为一座永久住房〔Quonset〕"wooden frame shacks, auto trailers, abandoned Air Force quonsets"(Washington Post)“木制小棚，汽车拖车，废弃的空军匡西特活动房屋”(华盛顿邮报)〔wanigan〕An addition built onto a trailer house for extra living or storage space.附带屋：供额外居住或贮存用的附加在一个活动房屋上的建筑物 |
