美国文化习俗翻译——美国的州名从何而来(2)

　　The two newest states have names which did not come from any of those languages. Hawaii got its name from a word in the Hawaiian language which means "homeland" (家乡). Alaska was named by the Russians, from whom Alaska was bought in 1867.
　　最新的两个州的名字不是来自于那些语言。夏威夷是按夏威夷语中的一个词命名的,意思是"家乡"。阿拉斯加州是1867年从俄国人手里买来的,而它的名字也是由俄国人命名的。
