1. 1澳洲原住民(作名詞;今日較尊重的說法是 Aboriginal person。台灣用「原住民」;「土著」聽來不尊重。)

    Dictionaries have long used Aborigine for a person whose people have lived in Australia from the earliest times, before later came. That is the sense here.

    Dictionaries have long used字典長久以來用Aborigine這個字for a person來指稱一個人whose people have lived in Australia他的族人世世代代住在澳洲from the earliest times從最早的時候開始before later settlers came在後來的殖民者到來之前That is the sense here這裡指的就是這個意思

    In real talk today, though, many Aboriginal Australians find the noun Aborigine old-fashioned or disrespectful, especially when a stranger uses it as a label. People who want to be careful usually say an Aboriginal person, an Aboriginal Australian, or — better still — the name of that person’s own nation.
