2. 法兰克福 英文名
在德国一共有两座城市以“法兰克福”(Frankfurt)为名,这本来并不奇怪,因为Frankfurt这个词的本意是“法兰克人的渡口”(Furt一词,与英语Ford同源,即渡口、浅水,有渡口的地方常有人,有人的地方就可能产生了城市),而中世纪的居于德国的日耳曼人最大的一支便自称法兰克人。
“法兰西”一词Francia就源自“法兰克”,拉丁语的意思是“法兰克人的国度”,当然现状略为讽刺,法兰西人大部分为古高卢人和罗马人的后代,操拉丁(罗曼)语族的法语,法兰克的基因比例并不高,正统的法兰克后裔还得是今天的德国人。于是该词也就保留在了地名之中。
这两个法兰克福,一个位于柏林以东的波德边境上,另一个,就是黑森州美茵河(Main)畔的这个法兰克福,为了加以区分,地图上在Frankfurt的后面要加上am Main,表示美茵河畔的法兰克福,因此,比较出名的这个法兰克福反倒有个更长的官方名称Frank am Main。
3. 急求法兰克福机场 英文介绍
Frankfurt am Main Airport (IATA: FRA, ICAO: EDDF), known in German as Flughafen Frankfurt am Main or Rhein-Main-Flughafen is a major international airport located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 12 km (7.5 mi) southwest of the city centre.[2] Run by Fraport, it is by far the busiest airport by passenger traffic in Germany, the third busiest in Europe and the ninth busiest worldwide in 2009. It serves the most international destinations in the world[citation needed] and is the second busiest airport in Europe by cargo traffic. The southern side of the airport, Rhein-Main Air Base, was a major airlift base for the United States from 1947 until late 2005, when it was acquired by Fraport.
The airport is directly located in the Frankfurt/Rhine-Main region, Germany's second largest metropolitan region, which itself has a central location in the densely populated region of the west-central European megalopolis. Thereby, along with a strong rail and motorway connection, the airport serves as a major transportation hub to the greater region, less than two hours by ground to Cologne, the Ruhr Area, and Stuttgart.
Plans are underway to expand Frankfurt Airport with a fourth runway and a new Terminal 3. First modifications to the airport to make it Airbus A380 compatible are completed, including the first building of a large A380 maintenance facility near the former U.S. Air Base. The work on the fourth runway has been delayed several times due to environmental concerns, but received zoning approval in December 2007. The runway should go into operation in 2011.
Frankfurt is a hub of Lufthansa, the German national carrier. Lufthansa's secondary hub is Munich Airport where many key medium and long haul routes are available, lessening the need to overburden Frankfurt Airport.
