v.（動詞）
<注釋>The Errol Flynn-like figure of the buccaneer pillaging the Spanish Main may seem less dashing if we realize that the termbuccaneer corresponds to the word barbecuer. The first recorded use of the French wordboucanier, which was borrowed into English, referred to a person on the islands of Hispaniola and Tortuga who hunted wild oxen and boars and smoked the meat in a barbecue frame known in French as aboucan. This French word came from an Arawakan or Tupinamba word meaning .a rack, sometimes used for roasting or for storing things, or a racklike platform supporting an Indian house..The original barbecuers seem to have subsequently adapted a more remunerative way of life, piracy,which accounts for the new meaning given to the word.Buccaneer is recorded first in '' in its earlier sense in English; the sense we are familiar with is recorded in '90.
如果我們認(rèn)識到buccaneer 一詞與 barbecuer 一詞詞意相當(dāng)，那么象艾洛爾·弗里恩這樣掠奪西班牙船只的海盜也許看起來不算是勇敢了。 法語詞boucanier 借用到英語中最早記錄下來的意義， 是指生活在伊斯帕尼奧拉島和托丟伽島上的人，他們獵野牛和野豬，在boucan 這種燒烤架上烤肉。 這個法語詞來自阿拉瓦克語或圖皮南巴語，意為.一種架子，有時用來炙烤或貯藏食物，或指架狀平臺，用來支撐印第安人的房子.。專事炙烤的土著后來適應(yīng)了海上掠奪這一更有利可圖的生活方式。這就是boucan一詞為什么被賦予了新的意義。Buccaneer 的早些時候的意義于''年最早用英語記錄下來， 而我們所熟悉的該詞的含義是于'90年記錄下來的
