"Negro" 是一个源自西班牙语的词，原本意味着“黑色”或“黑人”。它的词源来自拉丁语“niger”，意思是“黑色的”。然而，由于历史上该词在美国及其他地区的使用带有种族歧视和贬低含义，现代社会普遍认为该词是冒犯性的，因此在正式语境中已经逐渐被淘汰。

音标：[ˈniːɡroʊ]

翻译：

在历史上，"Negro" 曾用作指代非洲裔美国人的术语，尤其在19世纪和20世纪早期。

然而，在今天的英语中，它被视为过时且带有贬义的词汇。

现代英语中更多使用“Black”（黑人）或“African American”（非裔美国人）来替代这一词汇。

用法：

"Negro" 曾被用于正式和学术背景中描述非洲裔群体，但由于其负面历史和文化背景，现在几乎不再使用。

在20世纪60年代及以后，非裔美国人群体开始倡导使用更为尊重的术语。
