MT is the official two-letter code for the American state of Montana. In the United States, every state has one of these short codes, always written with two capital letters and no full stops: CA for California, NY for New York, TX for Texas, MT for Montana. You use it in an address on an envelope, on a form, on a driving licence, or in a table where there is no room for the full name — 'Billings, MT 59101'.
MT MT is是 the official two-letter code for the American state of Montana美國蒙大拿州的官方兩字母代碼。In the United States在美國,every state has one of these short codes每一州都有這樣的一個簡短代碼,always written with two capital letters and no full stops一律用兩個大寫字母寫、沒有句點:CA for California California是CA,NY for New York New York是NY,TX for Texas Texas是TX,MT for Montana Montana是MT。You use it in an address on an envelope, on a form, on a driving licence, or in a table where there is no room for the full name你會在信封上的地址、表格、駕照、或沒有空間寫全名的表格裡用它——'Billings, MT 59101'「Billings, MT 59101」。
You do not use it when you are speaking. If you say the state out loud, you say 'Montana'. Nobody says 'I'm from em-tee'.
You do not use it when you are speaking你說話的時候不會用它。If you say the state out loud如果你把這個州名說出口,you say 'Montana'你會說「Montana」。Nobody says 'I'm from em-tee'沒有人會說「I'm from em-tee」。
It is also worth knowing that these two letters have other jobs in other places. In writing about machines or cars, mt can be short for 'manual transmission'; in older writing, Mt (with a small t and often a full stop, 'Mt.') is short for 'mount' in the name of a mountain — Mt.
It is also worth knowing也值得知道的是 that these two letters have other jobs in other places這兩個字母在別的地方還有別的用途。In writing about machines or cars在寫機械或汽車的時候,mt can be short for 'manual transmission'mt可以是「manual transmission(手排)」的縮寫;in older writing在比較舊的寫法裡,Mt (with a small t and often a full stop, 'Mt.')Mt(小寫t,通常還有句點,寫成「Mt.」)is short for 'mount' in the name of a mountain是山名裡「mount」的縮寫——
Fuji, Mt. . That 'mount' one is where the letters first came from.
Mt. Mt. Fuji Fuji,Mt. Mt. Everest Everest。That 'mount' one is where the letters first came from那個「mount」的用法才是這兩個字母最早的來源。
But when you see MT next to a city name in an American address, it is Montana, every time. Montana itself is a big, populated state in the northwest of the country, next to Canada — mountains, cattle, very few people.
But when you see MT next to a city name in an American address但當你在美國地址裡看到MT接在城市名字後面,it is Montana它就是Montana,every time每次都是。Montana itself is a big, thinly populated state in the northwest of the country, next to Canada蒙大拿本身是美國西北部一個地廣人稀、緊鄰加拿大的州——mountains, cattle, very few people山、牛、很少的人。
組成Just the first and last letters of Montana, squeezed to two. American state codes are made this way: keep the first letter, add one more letter from the name so no two states clash. The same two letters used for a mountain (Mt. Everest) are a different, older shortening — of the word 'mount'.
