The SeineSeine(塞納河) is a river in the north of France是法國北部的一條河 It runs through Paris它流經巴黎, then through Rouen接著流經魯昂(Rouen), and而且 meets the sea in the English Channel near Le Havre在勒阿弗爾(Le Havre)附近注入英吉利海峽

In English we treat it as a place name: we write a capital S, and we almost always say “the Seine,” not just “Seine.” You will meet it in travel talk, in news, and in stories about Paris — walks by the river, bridges over it, boats on it. People use it as a landmark, not as a science word.

In English在英文裡 we treat it as a place name我們把它當地名處理: we write a capital S會寫大寫的S, and而且 we almost always say "the Seine,"幾乎都會說「the Seine」 not just "Seine."不會只說「Seine」。 You will meet it你會在 in travel talk旅遊話題, in news新聞, and而且 in stories about Paris講巴黎的故事裡遇到它 — walks by the river沿河散步, bridges over it河上的橋, boats on it河上的船 People use it人們用這個詞 as a landmark當作地標, not as a science word而不是科學用語

Though actually, English also has another word that looks the same if you ignore the capital letter: a seine is a fishing net you pull through the water. That is a common noun, and it is not this river. Students (and even spell-checkers) mash the two together because they sit on the same letters.

Though actually不過其實, English also has another word英文還有另一個詞 that looks the same if you ignore the capital letter如果不管大小寫看起來一樣: a seine小寫的seine is a fishing net you pull through the water是一種拉過水裡的漁網 That is a common noun那是個普通名詞, and而且 it is not this river不是這條河 Students (and even spell-checkers)學生(甚至拼字檢查軟體) mash the two together會把這兩個字搞混 because是因為 they sit on the same letters它們的字母一模一樣

When the S is big and there is a “the” in front, you are in France, on the river that Paris grew up around.

When the S is big當S是大寫 and there is a "the" in front而且前面有「the」, you are in France你講的就是法國, on the river that Paris grew up around那條孕育巴黎的河
