Dover多佛 is a port town on the southeast coast of England是英格蘭東南岸的一個港口小鎮 at the narrow sea between England and France位在英法之間狹窄的海域旁 (the English Channel)(就是英倫海峽)
Ferries still carry people, cars, and goods across to France from here, and the Channel Tunnel starts nearby; for a long time this was the ordinary way to cross. The white cliffs beside the town are famous in English songs and stories.
Ferries渡輪 still carry people, cars, and goods across to France from here現在仍然從這裡載人、載車、載貨到法國 and the Channel Tunnel starts nearby而海底隧道的起點就在附近; for a long time很長一段時間 this was the ordinary way to cross這裡都是往返英法的日常渡海方式。The white cliffs beside the town小鎮旁的白色懸崖 are famous in English songs and stories在英文歌曲和故事裡很有名
Though actually, when people say Dover they almost always mean this English port, not the smaller places that later borrowed the name — there is a village in Nova Scotia, Canada, that was probably named after the town in England. It is a place name, so it takes a capital letter.
Though actually不過其實 when people say Dover大家說Dover的時候 they almost always mean this English port幾乎都是指這個英國港口 not the smaller places that later borrowed the name而不是後來借用這個名字的小地方 — there is a village in Nova Scotia, Canada比如加拿大新斯科細亞省有個村莊 that was probably named after the town in England可能就是照這個英國小鎮取名的。It is a place name這是個地名 so it takes a capital letter所以字首要大寫
組成地名。古英語 Dofras,來自拉丁文 Dubris,再往上是古不列顛語 Dubras「那些水」,來自原始凱爾特語 *dubros(水),再來自原始印歐語 *dʰubrós(暗的),出自 *dʰewb-(深)。新斯科舍那座村子多半是跟英國這個港口同名。
