sherpa[sherpa 词源字典]

sherpa: [19] The Sherpas are a Tibetan people who live in northern Nepal. Their name for themselves (sharpa in Tibetan) means literally ‘dweller in an eastern country’. They act as mountain guides in the Himalayas, and since the exploits on Mount Everest of Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa, became well known in the 1950s, sherpa has become a generic term for a ‘Himalayan mountain guide’.
