evocative[ɪ'vɑkətɪv]: 唤起回忆的;引起共鸣的
Around the same time England adopted autumn, the first-ever British American colonists were voyaging to North America. With them they brought the words fall and autumn, and while the former fell out of fashion overseas, it solidified itself in the local vernacular by the time America won its independence. Today, using both words to describe the season before winter is still a uniquely American behavior.
大约在英格兰人采用autumn来指代秋天的同一时间,第一批去美国的英国殖民者开始漂洋过海到了北美。他们将fall和autumn带到了北美大陆,尽管前者fall在大洋彼岸已经不再流行,但是它却在美国获得独立之前在当地方言中站稳了脚跟。如今,用两个词来指代冬天之前的这个季节仍然是美国独有的做法。
