- Shaker
a member of a religious group in the US who live in a community in a very simple way and do not marry or have partners 震颤派教徒(美国教派,教徒禁欲独身,聚居一处,崇尚俭朴生活) CultureThe Shakers' official name is the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing. The group separated from the Quakers in England in 1747 and moved to the US in 1774. They were called Shakers because they shook with emotion when they worshipped. Now only a few Shakers live in New Hampshire and Maine. Shakers are well known for the simple furniture they made.
