    The capital city of Fiji斐濟的首都,a country made of many islands in the South Pacific一個位於南太平洋、由許多島嶼組成的國家。Suva sits on the south-east coast of the biggest island, Viti Levu蘇瓦位於最大島Viti Levu的東南岸。

    It is the largest city in that whole part of the Pacific, and it is where the government is, where the ships come in, and where the University of the South Pacific has its main campus — students from a dozen island countries go there. It rains a lot in Suva, much more than on the dry side of the same island, so tourists usually fly in and go somewhere else, while Suva stays the working, living city.

    It is the largest city in that whole part of the Pacific它是太平洋這一整個區域裡最大的城市,and it is where the government is政府設在這裡,where the ships come in船隻也從這裡進出,and where the University of the South Pacific has its main campus南太平洋大學的主校區也在這裡——students from a dozen island countries go there有十幾個島國的學生來這裡念書。It rains a lot in Suva蘇瓦雨下得很多,much more than on the dry side of the same island比同一座島乾燥的那一側多很多,so tourists usually fly in and go somewhere else所以觀光客通常搭機到這裡後就轉往別處,while Suva stays the working, living city蘇瓦則維持著日常運作、生活的城市樣貌。

    Say it SOO-vah. It is a name, so it always takes a capital S and takes no 'the'.

    Say it SOO-vah唸法是SOO-vah。It is a name這是個地名,so it always takes a capital S所以S一定要大寫,and takes no 'the'前面也不加「the」。
