- 1羚羊(統稱;不是鹿,角通常也不會像鹿角那樣每年脫落)
An antelope is a , fast animal of open country, with long legs and — in most kinds — horns. The horns are not the same as a deer’s : they usually stay on the animal and are not shed each year. Antelope is a wide name, not one species. are antelopes; a is an antelope too, even though it does not look dainty. English speakers sometimes say antelope when they just mean ‘that deer-like animal on the in Africa or Asia’. It has nothing to do with ants, even though the first letters look that way, and it is not ant + . The name came into English from French and Latin, from a Greek word whose own origin is unclear.
組成From Middle English antelope, from Old French antelop, from Medieval Latin antilops, from Byzantine Greek ἀνθόλοψ (anthólops). The Greek word’s origin is obscure. It does not split into ant + anything in English.
