Albuquerque is a city in the US state of New Mexico — the biggest city in that state. English speakers know it from maps, from desert light, and from television; the long spelling is famous for not matching the sound. You say AL-buh-kur-kee, not a careful letter-by-letter Spanish guess. Though actually, the Spanish town and the duke's title were Alburquerque, with an extra r; the American city dropped that r in English. It is only a place-name. Neutral, ordinary — unless someone is laughing at the spelling.
阿布奎基(美國新墨西哥州最大的城市;台灣媒體這樣寫的多)。
組成Borrowed from Spanish Albuquerque, from Latin albus ('white') + quercus ('oak'), so 'white oak'. The New Mexico city takes its name from Spanish Alburquerque, a town in Spain named after the viceroy Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, 8th Duke of Alburquerque (1619–1676).
