The two-letter code for the American state of Vermont, in the north-east of the United States next to Canada. You see it in addresses on envelopes ('Burlington, VT 05401'), on forms, in weather reports, and on lists of states — anywhere space is tight.

The two-letter code這個兩個字母的代碼，for the American state of Vermont代表美國的Vermont（佛蒙特）州，in the north-east of the United States位於美國東北部，next to Canada緊鄰加拿大。You see it你會在 in addresses on envelopes信封上的地址（'Burlington, VT 05401'像「Burlington, VT 05401」）、on forms表格上、in weather reports天氣預報裡、and on lists of states還有各州列表上看到它——anywhere space is tight只要空間有限的地方都會用。

Every US state has one of these two-letter codes, set by the post office, and they are always written in capitals with no full stops. Nobody says 'vee-tee' when talking about the state; they say 'Vermont'.

Every US state每個美國的州 has one of these two-letter codes都有一個這樣的兩字母代碼，set by the post office是郵局訂的，and they are always written in capitals with no full stops而且一律用大寫、不加句點。Nobody says 'vee-tee'沒有人會說「vee-tee」 when talking about the state講到這個州的時候，they say 'Vermont'大家會說「Vermont」。

Be careful, because these same two letters are used for other things in other places — in British television work 'VT' means videotape, and in Taiwan people mostly meet 'VT' as part of other abbreviations. Here it means only the state.

Be careful要小心，because these same two letters are used for other things in other places因為同樣這兩個字母在別的地方會有別的意思：in British television work 'VT' means videotape在英國電視業「VT」是指videotape（錄影帶），and in Taiwan people mostly meet 'VT' as part of other abbreviations而在台灣大家遇到「VT」大多是其他縮寫的一部分。Here在這裡，it means只代表 only the state就是這個州。
