<注释>The history of the wordmaroon, which we associate with desert islands, takes us back to the days of slavery, when the nounmaroon was a term in English for a Black person who lived in the mountains and forests of Dutch Guiana (Suriname) and the West Indies, a term that is still used in parts of the Caribbean.These were plantation slaveswho had run away to live free in uncultivated parts.The English word is taken from the French wordmarron, .runaway Black slave,.which in turn was an alteration of American Spanishcimarrón, meaning .runaway slave..Cimarrón is perhaps from cima, .summit.. Having come into English (first recorded in '''),maroon took on a life of its own and came to be used as a verbmeaning .to be lost in the wilds,.from which our sense .to put ashore on a deserted island or coast. evolved.
单词maroon 与荒岛有关联,其历史可追溯到奴隶制时代, 当时英语中的maroon 这个词指的是生活在荷属圭亚那(苏里南)和西印度群岛的黑人, 在加勒比的某些地区这个词仍在使用。这些人本是种植园里的奴隶,他们逃到未开发的土地上自由自在地生活。英语中的这个词源于法语中的marron , 意思是.逃亡的黑奴.,它又是美洲西班牙语cimarron 的变形, 其意为.逃亡的奴隶.。Cinmarron 可能源于 cima ,.顶峰.。 进入英语之后(最早的记载在'''年),maroon 具有了自己的内涵, 而且开始被作为动词使用,意思是.在荒野中迷失方向.,我们的.将…置于一个荒凉的岛上或海岸边.这个意思就是从这里发展而来
