扩展资料
伦敦这一名称在2世纪即已存在,在公元约121年记载为伦蒂尼恩(Londinium),证明其来源有罗马-不列颠背景。蒙茅斯的杰弗里在其作品《不列颠诸王纪》中最先试图阐释这一名称,但这一解释如今已被否定。他称该名称来源于一位“勒德王”(King Lud),此人据传占领了这一城市,并将其命名为“凯尔勒德”(Kaerlud)。
自1898年起,人们普遍认为该名称来源于凯尔特人,意为“名为伦蒂诺斯(Londinos)者所有之地”;但这一解释此后亦被推翻。理查德·科特斯于1998年提出该名称来源于前凯尔特古欧洲语言名称“(p)lowonida”,意为“河流过宽无法涉足”,指代流经伦敦的泰晤士河的一部分。
由此这一定居点获得其凯尔特名称“Lowonidonjon”,但距离“伦敦”仍有一定差距。其最大的问题在于拉丁名称“Londinium”和现代威尔士语“Llundain”之间的不同;后者照理应为“(h)lōndinion”(非“londīnion”),来源于先前的“loundiniom”。
1889年之前,“伦敦”一名仅为官方用于称呼伦敦城,但此后亦用于称呼伦敦郡及今日的大伦敦。

伦敦中英文介绍
LONDON, England A capital city full of art and history An important political centre A huge financial market place
英国,伦敦,一座艺术气息和历史氛围浓郁的都城,一个重要的政治中心,一处巨大的金融市场。
Whatever you think about London, visiting as a tourist is very different from living there Each part of London has its own character Some parts are richer than others, or more industrial, or have better housing
不管你眼中的伦敦是什么样子,以游客的身份去参观旅游和居住在此有很大的不同。伦敦每个地方都各有千秋。有的地方富裕,有的地方偏工业化,有的地方则更适合居住。
Let's start with the centre, the "Square Mile" This is the oldest part of London In the past, this is where all financial business was done Not many people live here, but 300,000 people work here every day
我们先从金融广场启程吧。这里是伦敦最古老的地方。以前,所有的金融交易都在这里进行。居住在这里的人不是很多,但是,每天却有30万人工作在此。
Moving west, we come to the West End This busy shopping and entertainment district is bursting with things to do Take a walk down Oxford Street, past big department stores like Selfridges and Harrods Rents here are very high, a one-bedroom apartment may cost around 1000 pounds (14,845 yuan) a week
继续西行,我们就来到了伦敦西区。这里是日益繁忙的购物和娱乐区。沿牛津大街步行,会经过六家大百货商店,其中就有塞弗吉商店和哈罗德商店。这里的房子租金特别贵,一居室的公寓可能每周的租金大约有1000英磅(折合人民币1万4845元)左右。
Further away is West London This area is more residential and very fashionable Go see the home of Diana, the Princess of Wales: Kensington Palace Notting Hill, made famous by the film starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, is here
再远一些就是伦敦西部。这里大多是时尚的住宅区。你可以去参观威尔士王妃黛安娜亡故前的住所肯辛顿宫。因朱丽亚·罗伯茨和休·格兰主演的**《诺丁山》而一举成名的诺丁山就在这里。
The East End contains the Port of London, which historically is where many immigrants first arrived Waves of French, Belgians, Jews, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have all lived here This makes the area very diverse, but also quite poor It has a reputation as being dangerous Since London won the bid to hold the Olympics in 2012, many Londoners hope that housing, education and employment for many people in this area will improve
伦敦东区有伦敦港,在历史上,它曾经是移民最先到达的地方。当年,法国人、比利时人、犹太教徒、巴基斯坦人和孟加拉国人蜂拥而至,都曾居住在此。这些移民给这个地区带来了丰富多彩的文化,同时,也使之更贫穷。这个区声名很差,被看作是危险之地。由于伦敦成功申请到了2012年奥运会的举办权,很多伦敦人希望这个区的住房、教育和工作机会能够得到改善。
It is difficult to be general about London The city is made up of a "collection of villages", each area with its own character and community
要全面描述伦敦是很困难的。这个城市是一个“乡村集散地”,每个地方都有自己的特色和自己的社区。
Put them all together, and you have London, a cosmopolitan capital
