<注釋>The words we have borrowed from native languages of Australia,such asbillabong, budgerigar, dingo, kangaroo, koala, kookaburra, waddy, and wallaby, generally have the exotic sound of down under, andboomerang is no exception. In a book about the languages of New South Wales published in 790 is found the native termboo-mer-rit, glossed .the scimitar,. because of the curved shape of the boomerang.In 825 in a passage containing the first recorded instance of the English formboomerang we are told it is .a short crested weapon which the natives of Port Jackson [now part of Sydney] project with accurate aim into a rotary motion..In 827 another commentator says that this term .may be retained for want of a more descriptive name..
我們從澳大利亞本土語言借來的單詞,比如billabong(死水潭),budgerigar(虎皮鸚鵡),dingo(騙子),kangaroo(袋鼠),koala(樹袋熊),kookaburra(笑翠鳥),waddy(木棍) 以及 wallaby(沙袋鼠) 等, 一般都有來自異國的聲音,boomerang 也不例外。 790年出版的一本關於新南威爾斯的語言的書中有個本土辭彙boo-mer-rit, 意為.偃月刀.,是因為其回飛鏢的彎形。在825年的一篇短文中有boomerang 的英文形式的最早記錄, 我們被告知那是.一種傑克森港[今悉尼的一部分]土著設計的帶有飾章的短武器,能在旋轉運動中精確擊中目標。.827年另一位評論者說這個辭彙.由於缺少一個更富描述性的名字可以保留.
