#12 Culture & Travel | Countries with New Names-Why Did They Change? | 改名的國家:為什麼它們要改名?

from 桃園市外師任意門E-door To The World · host 桃園市英語教育資源中心ETRC

本集節目帶大家探索「為什麼國家會改名字?」國名不只是地圖上的標籤,它常常和歷史、文化認同、政治轉變以及國家形象有關。有些國家在獨立後希望擺脫殖民時期的名稱,有些國家則希望使用更符合自己語言與文化的名字,也有些改名是為了避免與其他地方或詞語混淆。節目中將介紹 Ceylon 改為 Sri Lanka、Burma 改為 Myanmar、Swaziland 改為 Eswatini、Turkey 改為 Türkiye,以及 Czech Republic、North Macedonia 等例子。透過這些故事,我們可以發現,一個國家的名字背後,往往藏著人民的驕傲、歷史記憶與對世界傳達的訊息。 Vocabulary: * change (n)(v.) 改變 * identity (v.) 身分 * politics (n.) 政治 country (n.) 國家 name (n.) 名字;名稱 history (n.) 歷史 culture (n.) 文化 independent (adj.) 獨立的;自主的 represent (v.) 代表 language (n.) 語言 tradition (n.) 傳統 clarity (n.) 清楚;明確 confusion (n.) 混淆;困惑 Further Listening / 延伸聽力 📚 Title: Why Countries Change Their Names 📚Channel: WonderWhy 🌍Link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX98tg6D2og 📙Summary: https://pse.is/95gs36 🎥The Question of This Episode: If you had your own country, what would you name it? ✏️Upload Your Worksheet and Share Your Answer with Us: https://forms.gle/JivpYHt2yL9samQP7 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
