英语翻译
Eskimos live in the northern part of North America, from Alaska to Greenland. In that area, winter is nine months long. There is snow and ice everywhere. Not long ago the Eskimo family lived in a house made lf ice and hard snow . it was called an “igloo”. The igloo was heated by oil lamps. A hole is made in the roof for smoke or smell to escape. Today they live in houses made of wood and iron. But some times they will live for a while in an igloo when they go hunting.
Many years ago, only the Eskimos lived in this land. The Eskimos had believed that they were the only people in the world. They called themselves “Inuit”. That means the people. Later when the American Indians met the Inuit, they called them Eskimos. That Indian word means “eaters of raw meat”.
爱斯基摩人居住在北美洲的北部从阿拉斯加到格凌兰岛的地带.在那个地区,冬季长达9个月,到处冰雪覆盖.不久以前爱斯基摩人居住在一种被称为雪屋(或冰屋)的由冰和硬的积雪盖成的房子里,他们的房子是用油灯来保持温暖的,顶上有一个通风透气的孔.现在他们的房子多用木头和金属制成,但是他们打猎时,有时还要居住在雪屋(或冰屋)里面.
很多年前,只有爱斯基摩人居住在这个岛上,他们认为他们是世界上唯一的人群,自称“因纽特人”意思是——人类.后来当美洲印地安人见到他们时,称他们为爱斯基摩人,在印地安语中意为:吃生食物的人.
