我住在北京市,你去过西安吗?
Incorrect English:
“
I live in Beijing city.
Have you ever been to Xi’
an city?”
Correct English:
“
I live in Beijing.
Have you ever been to Xi’
an ? ”
解释:
在英语里,我们不能在一个城市名后再说“
city”, 单说城市的名字听起来最自然。“
The city of Beijing”或者“
Beijing”是正确的说法,而“
Beijing city”是错误的。
Explanation:
We should not say the word “
city”
after a city’
s name in English.
Saying just the city name by itself sounds the most natural. “
The city ofBeijing”,
or just “
Beijing”,
is correct,
but “
Beijing city’’
is not correct.
Examples:
“
My sister is going to take a vacation in Shanghai.
She lives in Tangshan.”
“
I moved from Los Angeles to Chicago last May.”
A: “
John lives in Washington. “
B: “
Thestate of Washington or the city of Washington ,
D.
C ?”
A: “
The city of Washington,
D.
C.”
注意
A:
英语中表达“某某市”的时候,其本身的名字已含有“市”字在内。例如
New York City (纽约市),
Salt Lake City (盐湖市),
Kansas City(堪萨斯市),和
Jefferson City (杰佛逊市)。当说这些城市名时,很明显会包括“
city”一字,但这只是例外。
Note A:
There are some city names in English that include the word “
city”
in their names ,
Examples are “
New York City”,“
Salt Lake City”,“
Kansas City”,
and“
Jefferson City”,
When saying the names of these cities you obviously include the word “
City” ,
but these are exceptions。
Examples:
“
I love going to the theaters and museums in New York City。”
“
Salt Lake City is in the state of Utah。”
注意
B:
如果你想说一个市中心以外的地方,但该地从政治意义上仍属这个市政府管辖,应该在城市名后用“
municipality”。
Note B:
If you want to talk about a place outside the city center,
but the place,
politically,
still belongs to the city government,
you should use the word “
municipality”
after the city’
s name。
Examples:
“
I live in Beijing municipality.”
“I enjoy going to Wanxian in Chongqing municipality to see my uncle.”
