The best place names in the world

Funny foreign place names:

1. Firenze: This is an Italian city. Firenze is an Italian name, and its English name is Florence. Now the official translation is "Florence" ”, this translation is derived from the English name.

Xu Zhimo directly translated its Italian name as "Emerald Green". This translation has both pronunciation and meaning, making people think of this city as a piece of cold emerald, which is so beautiful that it is intoxicating.

2. Fontainebleau: This place is located in a town in the metropolitan area of ??Paris, France. The original meaning of the name is "beautiful spring water". One of the root words of Fontainebleau is "Fontain", which corresponds to "Fontain" in English. The word is "fountain", which means spring water.

At that time, Xu Zhimo translated it as "Fontainebleau", which was actually very artistic, but later Zhu Ziqing sublimated it into the "Fontainebleau" that we are particularly familiar with today.

3. Yosemite: This place is a national park in California, USA. Its full name is: Yosemite National Park -- "Yosemite National Park".

This place not only has beautiful scenery, but also has an even more beautiful name. A previous system version of Apple Computer was named after "Yosemite". "Yoshanmeidi" not only takes care of the pronunciation, but also highlights the characteristics of a national park. Beautiful mountains and beautiful waters, every place is beautiful.

4. Wollongong: It is a coastal industrial city in southeastern Australia. It was once translated as "Wollongong". It is very unique and has ancient Chinese charm.

"Wolong" reminds people of Zhuge Liang, the "Mr. Wolong" in the Three Kingdoms. Therefore, Wollongong is jokingly called "the place where the prime minister lies in Australia" by many international students. Where is there a famous school called the University of? Wollongong, also translated as "University of Wollongong", has a good meaning and attracts many international students to study there.

5. Dushanbe: Many people may find this name quite unpopular. Dushanbe is the capital of the Central Asian country Tajikistan. Although I definitely won’t go there, this Chinese translation impressed me deeply, and it feels like the poetry of Li Du in the Tang Dynasty. "Shang" means "not yet", "bie" means "separation", "yangfa" means not leaving yet, about to leave, a melancholy feeling of about to "break up, let go, leave".
