Bournemouth is a town on the south coast of England, by the sea. People go there on holiday for the beaches and gardens. It is also a well-known centre for English language schools, so you will meet many international students in the summer, and it has long been a place for political conferences. Because the weather is milder than much of Britain, it is a popular place to live after people stop working. The name is simply the River Bourne plus mouth — the place where that stream meets the sea. Though actually, in speech the mouth is not fully sounded out; it comes out more like BORN-muth.
伯恩茅斯（英國南岸海濱城鎮；語言學校很有名）
