Alaska的意思

Alaska

英 [ə'læskə] 美 [ə'læskə]
  • n. 阿拉斯加州

Alaska

助记提示


来自阿留申语中的一个词,原写作Alaschka,意思为“广袤的大地”。因为对于生活在阿留申群岛上的土著居民来说,海峡对面的阿拉斯加的面积实在太大了。后来阿拉斯加一度并入俄国,一度被称为“PYCCKAR AMEPNKA"(大概是这么写的,不会俄语,有的字母打不出)。归入美国后,就以Alaska为名。

英文词源


Alaska
name first applied 18c. by Russian explorers, from Aleut alaxsxaq, literally "the object toward which the action of the sea is directed" [Bright]. Baked Alaska attested by 1896, so called either for its whiteness or from being cold inside.
