Ancient Athens古代雅典 was the most important city of old Greece是古希臘最重要的城市,and而 people大家 still travel there to see the old monuments現在還是會去那裡看古蹟,especially the Acropolis尤其是衛城——so所以 Athenian Athenian can point to today's city or to that old world of plays, philosophy, and city votes可以指今天這座城市,也可以指那個有戲劇、哲學和城邦投票的古老世界。It它 takes a capital letter要大寫,when it means the place or its people當它指的是這個地方或當地人時,like other city words of this kind就像其他這類地名衍生字一樣。
Though actually, the word is not the city name. Athens is the place; Athenian is the person, or the “of-that-place” word — the same pattern as Rome / Roman.
Though actually不過事實上,the word這個字 is not the city name本身並不是城市名稱。Athens Athens is the place是地名;Athenian Athenian is the person, or the "of-that-place" word是指人,或是「屬於那個地方的」這個字——the same pattern as Rome / Roman就跟 Rome / Roman 的模式一樣。
