英文里,“中国”被称作“China”(陶瓷),这是因为陶瓷是早期世界认识中国的一张名片。而位于太平洋西南部的岛屿国家新西兰,它除了被称作New Zealand之外,还跟一个英文单词有着千丝万缕的联系,这个词就是kiwi,音译为奇异、几维。从水果到钱币,从国鸟到民族,这些看上去毫无联系的东西在新西兰都可以被称作kiwi,新西兰人对“Kiwi”这个词有着无比深厚的感情。或许,我们想要了解新西兰,可以从学习这个单词开始。 In English, “China ” is called “China ” (ceramics) because ceramics is a name card in early world that knew China. New Zealand, an island nation located in the southwest Pacific Ocean, is known not only as New Zealand, but also as an English word inextricably linked to the kiwi transliteration. From fruits to coins, from national birds to nations, these seemingly unrelated things can be called kiwi in New Zealand, and Kiwis have a very deep feeling for the word “Kiwi.” Perhaps, we want to know New Zealand, you can start by learning the word.
