<注釋>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.
單詞maroon 與荒島有關(guān)聯(lián)，其歷史可追溯到奴隸制時代， 當(dāng)時英語中的maroon 這個詞指的是生活在荷屬圭亞那（蘇里南）和西印度群島的黑人， 在加勒比的某些地區(qū)這個詞仍在使用。這些人本是種植園里的奴隸，他們逃到未開發(fā)的土地上自由自在地生活。英語中的這個詞源于法語中的marron ， 意思是.逃亡的黑奴.，它又是美洲西班牙語cimarron 的變形， 其意為.逃亡的奴隸.。Cinmarron 可能源于 cima ，.頂峰.。 進(jìn)入英語之后（最早的記載在'''年），maroon 具有了自己的內(nèi)涵， 而且開始被作為動詞使用，意思是.在荒野中迷失方向.，我們的.將…置于一個荒涼的島上或海岸邊.這個意思就是從這里發(fā)展而來
