英语词汇mount bote的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Mount Bote. In his Strangers in High Places (1966) Michael Frome tells a story about how this mountain in the Great Smokies got its name through a mispronunciation: “In the 1850s a road was built from Cades Cove to the Spence Field on Thunderhead Mountain. Since there were no engineers to lay out the route, it was left to the decision of the builders, some of whom were Cherokee, as to which ridge the road should fol- low. As each Indian was asked his opinion, he reportedly point- ed to the westernmost ridge and said ‘Bote’ to indicate how he voted. There being no V sound in the Cherokee language ‘Bote’ was a near as they could frame the word; thereafter it was Bote Mountain, while the other ridge, the loser, became Defeat Ridge.” See great smokies.
