第 305 课:有趣的别名-6


And we have saved perhaps the most American nickname for last. 我们把最美国化的别名留到了最后。

The western state of Wyoming was once an area where cattle were transported east. 曾经有一段时间,位于西部的怀俄明州将牛运往东部。

And where there are cattle, there are men -- and now women -- to move them. 只要有牛的地方就有人——现在换成了女子——来运输他们。

So Wyoming is the Cowboy State. 所以怀俄明州叫做“牛仔州”(Cowboy State)。
