Geronimo
/dʒəˈrɒnɪməʊ/
/dʒəˈrɑːnɪməʊ/
- (c. 1829-1909) an Apache who led his people in Arizona against the US Army and the white people who settled there. After fighting for ten years (1876-86), Geronimo surrendered and finally settled in Oklahoma as a farmer. In the Second World War US military paratroopers used to shout his name as they jumped from their planes, to give themselves courage. Today, people often do this when jumping from a high place or doing something dangerous.
杰罗尼莫（Geronimo）：（约1829-1909年）阿帕奇（Apache）带领他的人民在亚利桑那州与美国军队和定居在那里的白人对抗。经过十年的战斗（1876-86），Geronimo投降了，并最终以农民的身份定居在俄克拉荷马州。在第二次世界大战中，美军伞兵从飞机上跳下来时常常喊着他的名字，以鼓起勇气。如今，人们经常在从高处跳下或做危险的事情时这样做。
