/ðə ˌtʃɪzəm ˈtreɪl/
/ðə ˈtʃɪzəm treɪl/
- (in the American West) a route along which cows were driven to eastern markets in the late 19th century. It was also called 'the long drive'. About two million cows went along the Trail, from south Texas to Abilene, Kansas, where they were put on trains to Chicago. It was named after Jesse Chisholm (1806-68), a scout (= a person who goes ahead to check the route and look for dangers).
奇索姆（Chisholm）小径：在19世纪后期，牛被运往东部市场的路线。它也被称为“长途旅行”。从得克萨斯州南部到堪萨斯州的阿比林，大约有200万头母牛沿着小道走，然后在火车上被送往芝加哥。它以侦察兵杰西·奇斯霍尔姆（Jesse Chisholm，1806-68）的名字命名。
