Population, 4,387,029.明尼苏达州：美国北部的一个州，隔苏必利尔湖与加拿大马尼托巴省和安大略省相望。于1858年成为美国的第32个州。在17世纪中期法国人开始探索这一地区，后通过巴黎条约（1783年）和路易斯安那置地（1803年）成为美国的一部分。首府为圣保罗，最大城市为明尼阿波利斯。人口4,387,029〔bluecurls〕Any of several North American plants of the genusTrichostema in the mint family, having clusters of mostly bluish or purplish flowers with long, curved stamens. 蓝卷花，夏枯草：一种美国北部唇形科毛茎 属植物，大多为淡蓝色或淡紫色花簇和长而卷曲的雄蕊 〔stint〕Any of several small sandpipers of the generaErolia or Calidris, of northern regions. 滨鹬：任一种滨鹬 属或 沙鹬 属的小鹬，生活于美国北部地区 〔muskellunge〕A large food and game fish(Esox masquinongy) , the largest member of the pike family, found in lakes and rivers of the northern United States and southern Canada. 北美狗鱼：一种大型食用和猎用鱼（北美狗鱼） ，狗鱼科中最大的一种，发现于美国北部和加拿大南部的湖、河中 〔dope〕Before it came to mean "a narcotic or narcotics considered as a group,”dope was borrowed into English from the Dutch word doop, "sauce.” Throughout the 19th century it meant "gravy.”In the lower northern United States,from Pennsylvania westward to Missouri, dope still means "a sauce of sorts";it is now the term for a topping for ice cream,such as syrup or a chocolate or fruit sauce.In the South, on the other hand,dope means "a cola-flavored soft drink.” The term might be related to the northern usage as a reference to the sweet syrup base of a cola drink.However, folk wisdom has it thatdope recalls the inclusion of minute amounts of cocaine in the original Atlanta recipe for Coca-Cola, which was named after this exotic ingredient.Dope 是从荷兰语 doop 借入英语的，后来才用来指“麻醉剂的总称”。 整个19世纪该词的含义为“肉汁，肉卤”。在美国北部低地地区，从宾夕法尼亚州向西一直到密苏里州， dope 一词仍然指“一种调味汁”；现在用来指冰激凌的浇料，如糖浆、巧克力或果汁。另一方面，在南方dope 一词指“味道象可乐的软饮”。 这种用法可能与北方用来指糖浆做成的可乐饮料这种用法有关。然而，民间的说法是dope 令人想起原亚特兰大处方中的可口可乐包括的少量古苛硷， 可口可乐就是得名于这种产于外国的成分〔McIntosh〕A variety of red eating apple, grown commercially in the northern United States.麦金托什苹果：一种红色可食的苹果，在美国北部商品化种植〔igg〕Igg, a shortened form of ignore, seems to have come into American speech from jive, the special jargon of Black jazz musicians in the 1930's. Its use has spread from the musicians' exclusive jargon into the Black communities of Northern U.S. cities. The reduction of a word to its initial syllable is a common source of slang or informal words, especially among groups of speakers who for reasons of exclusivity like to remain avant garde in their speech. Often such words come into general use, as in mike for microphone. Igg 一词作为 ignore 一词的简略语，可能是从20世纪30年代黑人爵士乐乐师的专业术语中进入美国语言的。该词从乐师独有的术语传入美国北部城市的黑人聚居区。将一个字缩短到它开头的几个字母是俚语和非正式用语的一个主要来源，有些语言圈的人为保持其独特性而尽量在语言上保持特殊，他们就常用这种方法。这种词语在生活中 经常使用，就象用 mike 代表 microphone 这个词 〔longspur〕Any of several birds, especially of the genusCalcarius of the northern United States, Canada, and the Arctic, having brownish plumage and long-clawed hind toes. 铁爪鵐：美国北部、加拿大和北冰洋地区的一种尤指铁爪鵐 属的鸟，羽毛褐色，后脚趾长而成爪状 〔scoter〕Any of several dark-colored diving ducks of the generaOidemia and Melanitta, of northern coastal areas.

Speakers in New York State are liable to call such a stream akill (a Dutch borrowing). Brook has come to be used throughout the Northeast. Southerners refer to abranch, and throughout the northern United States the term iscrick, a variant of creek. 在美国东部，用来表示“急流的小河”的词尤其多变。北部低地地区东部（包括弗吉尼亚、西弗吉尼亚、特拉华、马里兰和宾夕法尼亚南部）用run ， 如在Bull run 中。 纽约州用kill （借自荷兰语）表示这样的河流。 整个东北部已开始用Brook 。 南方人用branch ， 美国北部则用crick （ cleek 的变体） 〔mustang〕A small, hardy wild horse of the North American plains, descended from Arabian horses and brought to the New World by Spanish explorers.北美野马，半野马：一种美国北部平原的小型强壮野马，是阿拉伯马的后裔并且被西班牙殖民者带入新大陆 |
