区的英文

英语中的“区”有很多种译法,象楼上多位举出的district,section都是区.但楼主问的是象“白云区”一样的区,就应该译成Borough.请见下面的解释： borough A self-governing incorporated town in some U.S.states,such as New Jersey. One of the five administrative units of New York City. A civil division of the state of Alaska that is the equivalent of a county in most other U.S.states. Chiefly British. A town having a municipal corporation and certain rights,such as self-government. A town that sends a representative to Parliament. A medieval group of fortified houses that formed a town having special privileges and rights. 而District一般是指为选举区、学区或法院管辖范围等划出的区： District：One of the territorial areas into which an entire state or country,county,municipality,or other political subdivision is divided,for judicial,political,electoral,or administrative purposes.
