  1. 1n/əˈpætʃi/Apache peoples阿帕契族（美國西南部原住民族）

    The Apache are several related Native American peoples of the southwestern United States, whose languages are close to one another. Used with 'the', the name covers the group as a whole and takes a plural verb.

    文法複數：這個意思要用複數形式。

    這個說法指的是一整個族群，不是一個人。the Apache 文法上當複數用，例如 The Apache live…、The Apache have…。這個名字其實涵蓋好幾個不同的族群，像 Chiricahua、Jicarilla、Lipan、Mescalero、Western Apache，他們的語言彼此相近。它是專有名詞，所以 A 一定大寫。這些族群今天仍然生活在美國，談他們的時候用現在式才自然。

    示範例句 · Example

    The Apache have lived in the southwest for hundreds of years.

    中文翻譯阿帕契族已經在西南部生活了好幾百年。

    This is the name for a whole people, not for one person. 'The Apache' behaves as a plural: the Apache live, the Apache have. The name covers a number of distinct peoples — Chiricahua, Jicarilla, Lipan, Mescalero, Plains Apache and Western Apache — rather than one single group, and their languages are close relatives of one another. It is a proper noun, so the capital A stays wherever it sits in the sentence. These are peoples living in the United States today, so the present tense is the natural tense to use about them.

  2. 2n/əˈpætʃi/Apache helicopter阿帕契直升機

    An American army helicopter that carries weapons, built by Boeing and known by its full name AH-64 Apache.

    這個意思指的是一架機器，不是一群人。全名是 AH-64 Apache，美國陸軍使用，由 Boeing 製造。它掛載武器，所以英文叫 gunship。這個名字是借用阿帕契族的族名。英文裡這種借用並不少見，Apache 網頁伺服器軟體也是借同一個族名。書寫時 A 大寫，複數是 Apaches。台灣新聞裡直接音譯成「阿帕契」，講的就是這個。

    This one is a machine, not a people: the AH-64 Apache, a helicopter used by the US Army and built by Boeing. It carries weapons, which is why it is called a gunship. The name was taken from the Apache people. Borrowing the name in this way is common in English — the Apache web-server software was named after the same people. It is a proper noun with a capital A, and more than one is Apaches.

    常見搭配

  3. 3n/əˈpætʃi/Apache person阿帕契族人

    A person who belongs to one of the Apache peoples.

    文法可數名詞：前面可以加 a/an，要表示複數時常常加 -s。

    這個用法講的是一個人。英文說 an Apache、two Apaches。跟 the Apache 的差別在於數量：這裡是其中一位，那裡是整個族群。A 一樣要大寫，因為它還是專有名詞。實際說話時，很多人會講得更精確，例如 a Western Apache。你也會常看到 an Apache woman，或 of Apache descent（有阿帕契血統）這樣的說法。

    Used of one person, the word means someone who belongs to an Apache people: an Apache, two Apaches. The difference from 'the Apache' is number — one member here, the whole group there. The capital A stays, because it is still a proper noun. Speakers often name the particular people instead, such as a Western Apache, and you will also meet 'an Apache woman' or 'of Apache descent'.

    常見搭配

    • an Apache

      一位阿帕契族人

      one member of an Apache people

      His neighbour is an Apache.

    • of Apache descent
