Delhi is a huge city in northern India. People often talk about it as two layers that sit together: New Delhi, which is the capital of India, with government buildings and wide planned streets; and Old Delhi, the older, denser historic city, with the old walled town and its markets.

Delhi德里 is是 in northern India印度北部的 a huge city一座大城。 People大家 often常常 as two layers that sit together把它說成疊在一起的兩層 talk about it來談： New Delhi新德里， which is the capital of India是印度的首都， with government buildings and wide planned streets有政府建築和寬闊的規劃街道； and Old Delhi和舊德里， the older, denser historic city更老、更密的歷史城區， with the old walled town and its markets有城牆內的舊城和它的市場。

In everyday English在日常英文裡， Delhi can mean可以指 the whole urban area整個都會區， while New Delhi而「新德里」 in particular則特別 names指 the capital首都 — though actually不過其實 the two names這兩個名字 in loose talk在隨口的說法裡 get mixed會混在一起， and even news reports連新聞報導 are not always tidy about it也不見得每次分得清楚。
