Ever wondered how England got its name? As with countless other countries, it's all down to a tribe of early settlers (in this case the 5th Century Angles). 你有没有好奇过英格兰的国名是从何而来的？和无数其他国家一样，英格兰的名字源于早期定居者的一个部落名（英格兰的名字源于5世纪的盎格鲁部落）。 In fact, almost every country in the world is named after one of four things: 1) a tribe; 2) a feature of the land; 3) a directional description; or 4) an important person. That's according to Quartz, which analysed 195 countries listed in the Oxford Concise Dictionary of World Place-Names. 事实上，世界上几乎所有国家的名字来源都属于以下四种：部落、地貌、方位描述和重要人物。这是Quartz网站分析了《牛津简明世界地名词典》中列出的195个国家名称后得出的结论。 下面，我们就分别举例来说一说。 |
