Lisbon is the capital city of PortugalLisbon（里斯本）是Portugal（葡萄牙）的首都， and its main port也是它主要的港口—— ships have used that harbour for centuries好幾百年來船隻都使用那個港灣。It它 sits on hills座落在山丘上， beside a wide river that meets the sea旁邊是一條匯入大海的寬闊河流， and it has a large university and a cathedral而且它有一所大型大學和一座主教座堂。

English took the name from French Lisbonne, which came from Arabic lišbūna, which came from the old Latin name Olisīpō. Where that Latin name itself came from, nobody is sure. Older spellings wander (Ulixbona and the like), and a Roman story tried to tie the city to the hero Ulysses — though actually that is a folk tale, not a history we can stand on.

English took the name英文的這個名字 from French Lisbonne是從法文的Lisbonne來的， which came from Arabic lišbūna法文的又是從阿拉伯文的lišbūna來的， which came from the old Latin name Olisīpō而阿拉伯文又是從古老的拉丁名字Olisīpō來的。Where that Latin name itself came from那個拉丁名字本身是從哪裡來的， nobody is sure沒有人確定。Older spellings wander更早的拼法有些不同 (Ulixbona and the like)（像是Ulixbona之類的）， and a Roman story tried to tie the city to the hero Ulysses而且有一個羅馬故事試圖把這座城市跟英雄Ulysses（尤利西斯）連在一起—— though actually不過話說回來， that is a folk tale那只是個民間傳說， not a history we can stand on不是一段站得住腳的歷史。

Portuguese speakers call the city Lisboa; that is the same place, not a second city. In English, Lisbon is just the place-name, used like Paris or Tokyo. You capitalise it.
