记忆方法
Florida这个名字最初是有西班牙人胡安·彭斯·德·里昂提出的。他于1512年复活节的那天乘船抵达了佛罗里达海岸，而那天又正好是周日。这样的日子在西班牙语里被叫做Pascua Florida，原本意为”开花的“。彭斯就以Florida来命名了这片土地。
英语词源
- Florida
- U.S. state, formerly a Spanish colony, probably from Spanish Pascua florida, literally "flowering Easter," a Spanish name for Palm Sunday, and so named because the peninsula was discovered on that day (March 20, 1513) by the expedition of Spanish explorer Ponce de León (1474-1521). From Latin floridus "flowery, in bloom" (see florid). Related: Floridian (1580s as a noun, in reference to the natives; 1819 as an adjective).
