Texas 助记提示
Texas，又译德克萨斯州。西班牙殖民者最初到达此地，向印第安人打听这里属于哪个部落，而得到的回答则是Texia。Texia在当地语言的本意为”友好的“。那些印第安人以此来表明自己并不是和欧洲人敌对的阿帕奇部落。西班牙人误以为这是部落名，因此将此地称作Texia，后讹作Texas。
Texas 英文词源
- Texas
- Mexican province, briefly an independent nation and now a U.S. state, from Spanish Texas, Tejas, earlier pronounced "ta-shas," originally an ethnic name, from Caddo (eastern Texas Indian tribe) taysha "friends, allies," written by the Spanish as a plural. Related: Texan. Baseball Texas-leaguer "ball popped up just over the head of the infielders and falling too close for outfielders to catch" is recorded from 1905, named for the minor league that operated in Texas from 1902 (one theory is that outfielders played unusually deep in Texas because hit balls bounced hard off the hard, sun-baked ground).
