菲尼克斯,英文的意思是凤凰。它是美国亚利桑那州(Arizona)的州府,也是该州最大的城市。它位于美国西南角,处于著名的索尔特河谷西南部,和加利福尼亚州及墨西哥接壤。该地区面积839平方公里。据2000年人口普查统计,城市人口为一百三十万,是美国第六大城市。而整个凤凰城大都市区则拥有人口近三百三十万,在全美国是第14大都市区。亚利桑那州是美国本土最后一个加入联邦的州。因此,做为州府的凤凰城于1881年才设市,起步比其他城市晚100多年。但是,近年来这里已经成为美国发展最快的都市区之一,经济高增长率一直在全美国高居前两位。

It is located in the southwestern corner of the United States, in the famous southwest of the Salte Valley, bordering California and Mexico. The area is 839 square kilometers. According to the 2000 census, the urban population is 1.3 million, making it the sixth largest city in the United States. The entire metropolitan area of Phoenix has a population of nearly 3.3 million and is the 14th metropolitan area in the United States. Arizona is the last U.S. state to join the federation. As a result, Phoenix, the state capital, opened its doors only in 1881 and started more than 100 years later than other cities. However, it has become one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the United States in recent years, and its high economic growth rate has consistently topped the top two in the United States.
