一个巨难的英语句子的翻译-------高手帮忙

There are many museums, theatres and parks in London, as well as offices and factories. 【Londonbegan as a Roman settlement called Londinium.】 The plague（瘟疫）came to London in the 1600s, followed by the Great Fire of 1666. The city was badly bombed in World WarⅡ.
我想知道【】中句子结构的分析，重点解释settlement 在句中如何翻译，高手想必知道我我想知道什么。详解，谢谢

Answer 1

伦敦城是做为罗马帝国的一个殖民地而开始的，那时它被称为伦迪尼姆。整个句子只是个简单的主谓结构的句子，as a Roman settlement是句子的状语，而 called Londinium是settlement的后置定语。

Answer 2

【London主语】【began as谓语 】【a Roman settlement 宾语】【called Londinium 过去分词短语，定语】.
settlement
定居点;聚居地
A settlement is a place where people have come to live and have built homes.
句子意思：
伦敦一开始只是罗马人的定居点/聚居地，称作伦迪尼姆。

祝你开心如意！

Answer 3

London began as a Roman settlement called Londinium.

settlement 有一个意思就是“殖民”

Answer 4

settlement就是说，伦敦一开始是罗马的，像殖民地的，一个国家。那个时候，罗马把他命名为Londinium
