为什么英语中 有的山用mount 有的用 mountain?
比如 五台山 就是Wutai mountain.而 峨眉就是 mount emei.这是为啥啊

Answer 1

You can also say Mount Wutai.Another example:Mount Everest (珠穆朗玛峰).Usually,if you are saying the offical name of a mountain,then use Mount X.Another example:I know that Mount Everest is a mountain.
Another example:Mount Fuji,Mount Kilimanjaro.
You use mountain as a general term.E.g.Himalayas mountains,Rocky Mountains.
你也可以说五台山.又如：Mount Everest （珠穆朗玛峰）.通常情况下,如果你说它的正式山名,用Mount x.另一个例子：我知道珠穆朗玛峰是一座山.
又如：富士山,乞力马扎罗山.
您可以使用mountain作为一个通用语.例如喜马拉雅山山脉,落基山脉.
