汽车朝着东南而去的高速公路飞驰,从吉隆坡出发140多公里,只两个小时左右,我们便进入了古城马六甲的怀抱。 “马六甲”这个名字,在梵文中是“大岛”的意思。但据向导说,这是一种树的名字。五六百年前,当时来自苏门答腊的王子拜里美苏拉,在这里憩息,他问随从,那歇脚的地方长的一棵树叫什么名字,跟随的说是“马六甲”。后来,竟然称这个地方为“马六甲”了。 The car drove toward the southeast freeway. Over 140 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur, only about two hours passed from the ancient city of Malacca. The name “Malacca” means “big island” in Sanskrit. But according to the guide, this is the name of a tree. Five or six hundred years ago, the prince from Sumatra, Baileysula, was here to rest. He asked his entourage, what is the name of a long tree called the Resting place, and was followed by “Malacca.” Later, I actually called this place “Malacca”.
