| 释义 | 〔avocado〕The history ofavocado takes us back to the Nahuatl (the language of the Aztecs) word ahuacatl, "fruit of the avocado tree" or "testicle.”The wordahuacatl was compounded with others, as inahuacamolli, meaning "avocado soup or sauce,” from which the Spanish-Mexican wordguacamole derives. In trying to pronounceahuacatl, the Spanish who found the fruit and its Nahuatl name in Mexico came up with aguacate, but other Spanish speakers substituted the formavocado for the Nahuatl word becauseahuacatl sounded like the early Spanish word avocado (now abogado ), meaning "lawyer.” In borrowing the Spanishavocado, first recorded in English in 1697 in the compound avogato pear ( with a spelling that probably reflects Spanish pronunciation),we have lost many of the traces of the more interesting Nahuatl word.词avocado 的历史将我们带回那瓦特尔语（阿兹特克人的语言）单词 ahuacatl， “鳄梨树的果实”或“睾丸”。单词ahuacatl 与其它词结合， 如ahuacamolli 表示“鳄梨汤或调味汁，” 西班牙-墨西哥语单词guacamole 即源于此。 当试图读出ahuacatl 时，西班牙人发现了鳄梨果实及其在墨西哥的那瓦特尔语名称并提出了 aguacate ， 但另一些讲西班牙语的人以avocado 替代了这个那瓦特尔语单词， 因为ahuacatl 的发音听起来象早期西班牙单词 avocado， （现在的 abogado ），表示“律师。” 英语中首次借用这个西班牙单词avocado， 记录于1697年，在复合词 鳄梨 （ 其拼写可能反映了西班牙语发音），我们已经失落了很多更有趣的那瓦特尔语单词的踪迹〔teocalli〕A temple of ancient Mexico and Central America, usually built on a pyramidal mound.阿兹特克人古庙：通常建在金字塔上的古代墨西哥和中美洲的庙宇〔Pima〕The Uto-Aztecan language of the Pima, dialectally related to Papago.皮玛族语：皮玛人的犹他-阿兹特克语，类似帕帕克语〔Cahuilla〕The Uto-Aztecan language of the Cahuilla.卡惠拉语：卡惠拉居民使用的犹他一阿兹特克语〔Papago〕The Uto-Aztecan language of this people, dialectically related to Pima.

In any case,as is well known,people resisted eating this New World food at first because its membership in the Nightshade family made it suspect,but it is now eaten throughout the worldwhile Aztec civilization is memorialized by ruins.据说对世界文明真正作出贡献的并非是包括阿兹特克文明在内的哥伦布到达前的美洲文明，而是那些家庭种植土豆、南瓜等的不知名的美洲居民。西红柿是其中的另一贡献，它的名字最终的来源是阿兹特克人和其他墨西哥和中美洲居民使用的纳瓦特尔语。征服了该地区的西班牙人把西红柿带回了西班牙，并且借用了纳瓦特尔语的单词tomatl ， 把它称作tomate ， 这个形式为法语、葡萄牙语和早期现代英语所通用。Tomate ，最早记录于1604年， 后来被英语中诞生的一个形式tomato 所取代。 取代的原因可能是因为形式上更象西班牙语或是因为受单词potato 的影响。 不管怎么样，就像我们知道的，由于它属于茄科使它受到怀疑，人们起初拒绝吃它，不过现在全世界的人们都在吃西红柿，而阿兹特克文明都只存在于废墟之中了〔Mixtec〕A member of a Mesoamerican Indian people of southern Mexico whose civilization was overthrown by the Aztecs in the 16th century.米斯泰克部落：墨西哥南部中美洲印第安人的一个成员，它的文明在16世纪被阿兹特克人破坏〔Toltec〕A member of a Nahuatl-speaking people of central and southern Mexico whose empire flourished from the 10th century until it collapsed under invasion by the Aztecs in the 12th century.托尔特克人：墨西哥中南部操纳瓦特尔语的民族，其帝国在10世纪时十分繁荣，12世纪时由于阿兹特克人入侵而崩溃〔Huitzilopochtli〕The tutelary deity of the Aztecs and a manifestation of the sun god Tezcatlipoca.维奇洛波奇特利：阿兹特克的守护神及泰兹凯特里波卡太阳神的一个启示〔Quetzalcoatl〕A god of the Toltecs and Aztecs, represented as a plumed serpent.羽蛇神：托尔特克人和阿兹特克人信奉的一种神，被象征为长有羽毛的蛇〔Nahuatl〕A member of any of various Indian peoples of central Mexico, including the Aztecs.纳瓦特尔族：墨西哥中部的一支印第安民族的成员，包括阿兹特克人〔Yaqui〕The Uto-Aztecan language of the Yaqui.雅基语：雅基人所说的犹特—阿兹特克语〔Ute〕The Uto-Aztecan language of the Ute.犹他人所使用的犹他-阿兹特克语群的语言〔Hopi〕The Uto-Aztecan language of the Hopi.霍皮语：霍皮人的犹他一阿兹特克语言〔Cholula〕A town of east-central Mexico west of Puebla.
