In fact, however,buffalo can probably be traced back by way of one or more of the Romance languages, such as Portuguese, Spanish, or Italian, through Vulgar Latin and Latin and ultimately to the Greek wordboubalos, meaning "an antelope or a buffalo.” The buffalo referred to by the Greek and Latin words was, of course, not the American one but rather an Old World mammal, such as the water buffalo of southern Asia.Applied to the North American mammal,buffalo is in fact a misnomer, bison being the preferred term. As far as everyday usage is concerned, however,buffalo, first recorded for the American mammal in 1635, is older thanbison, first recorded in 1774. 野牛同西部荒原联系如此紧密以致人们很自然地认为这个名字源于美洲本地语言，就象这两个词moose 和 skunk。 然而，实际上buffalo 一词可以通过一种或更多种日耳曼语言，如葡萄牙语、西班牙语或意大利语溯源。 通过通俗拉丁语和拉丁语最终追溯到希腊词boubalos 意思是“羚羊或野牛”。 希腊语和拉丁语所指的野牛当然不是美洲野牛，而是东半球的一种哺乳动物，如南亚水牛。就北美哺乳动物来说，buffalo 实际上是用词不当， bison 才是合适的词。 然而就日常用法而言，buffalo 于1635年首次被用于记录美国哺乳动物， 比首次记录于1774年的bison 要早些 〔granadilla〕Any of various tropical American passionflowers, especiallyPassiflora quadrangularis, bearing edible fruit. 西番莲：多种美洲热带西番莲中的任何一种，尤指大果西番莲， 长有可食用果实 〔jabiru〕A large tropical American stork(Jabiru mycteria) having white plumage with a pink band at the neck and a naked head. 裸颈鹳：一种美洲热带的大鹳（裸颈鹳） ，具有白色的羽毛，脖子上有一圈淡红色条带，头裸露 〔snowberry〕Any of various tropical American shrubs or vines of the genusChiococca, having white globular fruit and small yellow or white flowers clustered in lateral racemes. 白雪浆果：一种热带美洲灌木或藤本植物白雪浆果 ，结有白色的球状果实，开侧生总状花序的黄色或白色小花 〔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.
