  • THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE UK, ENGLAND, AND GREAT BRITAIN

    到底UK,英格蘭,大不列顛三者有什麼不同?

  • The actual name of the sovereign state we are talking about is The United Kingdom of

    這個主權國家的全名應該是

  • Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK). The United Kingdom is made up of the countries

    大不列顛及北愛爾蘭聯合王國,由四個地區:

  • England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

    英格蘭、蘇格蘭、威爾斯及北愛爾蘭組成。

  • The confusion of the terms seems to revolve around the termcountryand the political

    但有關"Country"這個字似乎環繞著疑問,

  • powers that are perceived based on that word. While the four countries that make up the

    因為這個字普遍被認為代表具主權的國家。儘管組成UK的四個"Countries"

  • UK are considered separate in the minds of locals, and in certain sporting events, their

    在當地人心中及運動賽事上常視為分開獨立的四個區域,

  • powers for local law and control are devolved from the UK. Think of the 50 states of the

    但它們其實是經由英國政府權力下放後,才能行使自己的法律及權力。想想美國的50州,

  • United States, while each state has their own set of laws, they all are still under

    每個州都有自己的法律,然而他們仍然

  • the power of the federal government. In the case of the UK, it is somewhat similar, though

    隸屬於聯邦政府之下。對比UK,情況有點相似,不過

  • certain responsibilities are also implied, like healthcare and education, these are delegated

    某些特定權責,像醫療衛生及教育係由政府委派給

  • to three of the four countries. The responsibilities that are delegated differ from one country

    英格蘭以外的三個地區。每個地區的權限大小並不相同,

  • to the next. England is the only country in which the UK does not devolve any powers and

    而英格蘭地區則不用經由權力下放,因為它

  • instead it is legislated directly by the UK government. When it comes to international

    直接隸屬於中央政府。而在國際政治場合中提到UK時,

  • politics, it is the sovereign nation of the UK that is recognized and not any of the four

    它則被認為是一個完整的主權國家,而非境內任何一個

  • constituent countries.

    地區。

  • The termGreat Britainrefers to the land mass that comprises England, Scotland,

    而"Great Britain"則由大不列顛島的幾個區域組成,包括英格蘭、蘇格蘭以及威爾斯。

  • and Wales. Something that aids in the confusion as to the difference between Great Britain

    關於Great Britain和UK的差別,更讓人感到困惑的是:

  • and the UK is that the term is sometimes internationally used as a synonym for the UK. For instance,

    Great Britain 在國際上常被用來表示UK。例如,

  • the UK’s Olympic team competes under the nameGreat Britainand the ISO (International

    英國的奧運代表隊以Great Britain為名,而ISO則將英國的國家地區代碼

  • Organization for Standardization) gives the UK the country codes of GB and GBR. This can

    定為GB或GBR。

  • be confusing given that the ISO also codes England, Scotland, and Wales as subdivision

    另一個讓人困惑的原因是,ISO的區域碼中,將英格蘭、蘇格蘭以及威爾斯定為

  • countries of the UK but Northern Ireland as a subdivision province. If youre getting

    英國轄下的區域,但北愛爾蘭則被視為一個省。

  • the impression that Northern Ireland is the red-headed stepchild of the UK, you may well be

    假如你對北愛爾蘭的印象,是有著一頭紅髮的英國的繼子/女(無論字面上或比喻),

  • right! (both figuratively and literally, if you believe the current statistics for redheaded populations that is)

    好吧那你可能是對的。(但前提是你真的相信現今關於愛爾蘭紅髮人口的統計)

  • The confusion over the definition of these four countries, in reference to the UK, is

    在運動賽事上,對於如何定義英國境內四個地區,

  • further muddied up in sporting competitions. There are several international sporting events,

    常讓人感到混淆不清。一些國際賽事,

  • like the commonwealth games, and football competitions, in which each of the four has

    像是英聯邦運動會,足球比賽等,這四個地區

  • their own team, and do not compete under a unified national team. When competing under

    都有自己的隊伍,而不是一支聯合的國家隊。在這類的國際賽事中,

  • these conditions, their nations are referred to ashome nations”. Because each team

    這四個地區的隊伍又另外被統稱為" Home Nations",因為每個隊伍(在歷史上)

  • is from a specific home country, it can lead some to think these countries have political

    都來自不同的王國。這難免造成有些人會以為這四個地區

  • autonomy as well. Given the inebriated thought processes attained during the enjoyment of

    有自治權。考慮到整個比賽期間,那些醉醺醺的球迷的思考過程,

  • these competitions, it's not too hard to understand where this drunken confusion comes from.

    就不難了解這種讓人以為自己喝醉了的混淆稱呼是怎麼來的。

  • If youre curious when these unions between the countries that comprise the UK came about,

    如果你對這幾個王國何時組成英國感到好奇,

  • it happened as follows: England and Wales were joined in 1536. Scotland and England

    過程如下: 英格蘭和威爾斯公國在西元1536年合併;西元1707年,英格蘭合併

  • were joined together in 1707, along with the previously joined Wales, to officially form

    蘇格蘭王國,再加上之前合併的威爾斯,正式更名為

  • the Kingdom of Great Britain. Ireland decided to join up in 1801, at which point the United

    大不列顛王國。 等到了1801年愛爾蘭王國加入,這時又再次更名為

  • Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was formed. In 1922, however, many of the Southern counties

    大不列顛及愛爾蘭聯合王國。 然而,1922年,愛爾蘭南方城邦

  • of Ireland decided to remove themselves from the union and the UK changed their name to

    決定脫離英國統治,這也讓英國的正式名稱再次更名為

  • the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

    大不列顛及北愛爾蘭聯合王國。

  • So in summary:

    所以,摘要如下:

  • Great Britain = England, Scotland, and Wales UK = England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern

    大不列顛= 英格蘭,蘇格蘭及威爾斯。 UK= 英格蘭,蘇格蘭,威爾斯

  • Ireland (and the full name is theUnited Kingdom of Great Britainand Northern Ireland”)

    以及北愛爾蘭(而正式名稱為: 大不列顛及北愛爾蘭聯合王國)

  • England = Just the part of the island that is England

    然後,英格蘭...就只是島上的一部分
