别号「大峡谷之州」(Grand
Canyon State)的亚利桑那于1912年添加联邦，成为美国第48州。它是美国本土48个州中，最后添加联邦的一州。本州的名字来自于arizonac，两个帕帕戈(Papago)印地安语，意即「早春之地」(place
of the young spring)。亚利桑那州的气候非常干燥，素以境内的仙人掌植物闻名。事实上，本州的州花就是仙人掌花。
The "Grand Canyon State," Arizona, was the 48th state to join the U.S. in 1912-- the last of 48 contiguous (connected) states to join the Union. The state's name comes from arizonac, from two Papago Indian words meaning "place of the young spring." Arizona has a very dry climate and is known for its cactus plants. In fact, the state flower is the saguaro cactus blossom.
