The river that runs through Rome流經羅馬的這條河——Tiber(台伯河) Italy's third longest是義大利第三長的河 starting in the Apennine mountains發源於亞平寧山脈 and flowing south and west to the sea往南、往西流入大海 In English在英文裡 it almost always appears with "the" in front of it它前面幾乎都會加「the」 like most river names就像大部分河流的名字一樣 the Tiber, on the Tiber, across the Tiber像the Tiber、on the Tiber、across the Tiber
It matters far beyond its size because of Rome: the ancient city grew up on its banks, its bridges and its island are part of the old city centre, and the legend of Romulus and Remus has the twin babies set adrift on this river and washed ashore to be found by the wolf. So in writing about history, art, or literature, "the Tiber" is often a shorthand for Rome itself.
It matters far beyond its size because of Rome它的重要性遠超過它的大小,原因就是羅馬 the ancient city grew up on its banks古羅馬城就是沿著它的兩岸發展起來的 its bridges and its island are part of the old city centre它的橋和島都是舊城中心的一部分 and the legend of Romulus and Remus而且Romulus和Remus的傳說裡 has the twin babies set adrift on this river這對雙胞胎嬰兒被放到這條河上漂流 and washed ashore to be found by the wolf後來被沖上岸,被母狼發現 So in writing about history, art, or literature所以在寫歷史、藝術、或文學時 "the Tiber" is often a shorthand for Rome itself「the Tiber」常常就是羅馬本身的簡稱
It is a muddy yellow-brown river with high stone walls along it through the city, built after bad floods in the 1800s. Italians call it il Tevere, so a student who has been to Rome may know the Italian name and not recognise the English one.

組成From Latin Tiberis, the Roman name for the river — the source of the modern Italian name Tevere as well. The Latin name itself is older than Latin records and its ultimate origin is uncertain; it may come from one of the earlier peoples of central Italy.
