泽西岛英文

泽西岛( Jersey Island )地处英国群岛与欧洲大陆的环抱之中，英吉利海峡南端的一个岛，是英国属地，面积45平方英里(116.2平方公里)，人口7.6万，行政中心圣赫利尔。属于英国的成员，但不附属于共同市场；它流通使用英镑，但同时有自己的货币；它是英国人的逃税天堂；它是拥有1000亿英镑的国际财经中心。 泽西岛是英国海峡群岛中最大和最重要的岛屿。位于群岛的最南部。北距根西岛约 29公里，东距法国诺曼底海岸 24公里。北部地形崎岖，海岸陡峭，内地为森林茂密的高原。饲养奶牛，种植水果、马铃薯、早鲜蔬菜及花卉。还有旅游业。传统的毛线编结业已经衰落。有客、货轮与伦敦、利物浦以及法国的圣马洛联系。有泽西动物园。首府圣赫利尔。泽西岛 ( Jersey Island ) 位于诺曼底半岛外海 20 公里 处的海面上，是英吉利海峡靠近法国海岸线的海峡群岛 (Channel Islands) 里，面积与人口数都最大的一座，其与周边两座无人岛群 —— 曼逵尔 (Minquiers) 与艾逵胡 (Ecréhous) 共同组成 泽西行政区 ( Bailiwick of Jersey ) ，是一个英国海外属地，而非英国本土的一部份。泽西行政区的名义元首为英国女王伊莉萨白二世，而首长则称为行政官 (Bailiff) ，虽然国防与外交上的事物完全是由英国担当，但是高度自治的泽西行政区拥有自己的税务与立法系统，有自己的众议院，甚至发行有自己的泽西英镑（其币值与英格兰英镑相当，并且可在英国境内使用）。目前隔邻的根西行政区已经进行改制，将首长换成首相制（称为首席部长， Chief Minister ），泽西也将会在不久的将来跟进。 泽西行政区的历史最早可以回溯到 933 年时，海峡群岛被诺曼底公爵长剑威廉 (William Longsword) 并吞成为诺曼底公国的一部份，后来其子肆成为英格兰国王，也让海峡群岛成为英国的一部份。虽然在 1204 年时法国人收复诺曼底地区，但并没有在同时将海峡群岛收回，使得这些岛屿成为这段中古史迹的现代见证。第二次世界大战时泽西岛与根西岛曾遭德军占领过，占领期自 1940 年 5 月 1 日 到 1945 年 5 月 9 日 止，是二战期间唯一被德国掌控过的英国领土。 由于位在英国以南天气较温和，泽西岛是英国人非常喜欢的度假观光胜地之一，观光业再加上独立的低税率环境，使得服务金融业逐渐在最近几年来抬头变成财政主力。除此之外，泽西岛的畜牧业也颇负盛名，岛上的泽西牛与花卉栽种是非常重要的输出产品。 泽西行政区的首府为圣艾利耶 (Saint Helier) 。岛上居民除了以英文作为官方语言外，也有许多人口是以法文为母语，因此法文也是该行政区的官方语言之一。

自己加中文吧，不给分还懒的不行The Bailiwick of Jersey ( /ˈdʒɜrzi/, French: [ʒɛʁzɛ]; Jèrriais: Jèrri) is a British Crown Dependency[6] off the coast of Normandy, France.[7] As well as the island of Jersey itself, the bailiwick includes two groups of small islands that are no longer permanently inhabited, the Minquiers and Écréhous, and the Pierres de Lecq[8] and other rocks and reefs. Together with the Bailiwick of Guernsey, it forms the grouping known as the Channel Islands. Like the Isle of Man, Jersey is a separate possession of the Crown and is not part of the United Kingdom.[9] Jersey has an international identity different from that of the UK,[10] although it belongs to the Common Travel Area[11] and the definition of "United Kingdom" in the British Nationality Act 1981 is interpreted as including the UK and the Islands together.[12] The United Kingdom is constitutionally responsible for the defence of Jersey.[13] Jersey is not a part of the European Union but has a special relationship with it, being treated as part of the European Community for the purposes of free trade in goods.[14]EtymologyThe Channel Islands are mentioned in the Antonine Itinerary as following : Sarnia, Caesarea, Barsa, Silia and Andium, but none of them corresponds to the present names.[35] So that Jersey's first name cannot be really identified. Furthermore, later records evoke Angia (also spelled Agna ).[36]Some say, it could be Andium, a Latinized version of the Gaulish (Celtic) *Andion, with and- Gaulish intensive prefix meaning "very", "much", "big". Andium will be the "big Island". It is actually the largest one among the Channel Islands. The spelling Angia could be an ultimate development of *Andia.Some others identify it as Caesarea, a late recorded Roman name influenced by Old English suffix -ey for "island";[37][38] this is plausible if, in the regional pronunciation of Latin, Caesarea was not [kaisarea] but [tʃeːsarea].Angia could be a misspelling for *Augia, that is the Latinized form of Germanic *aujō (> Old English ī(e)ġ > is-land).[39]), that could have extended before the Viking Age along the coast of France, as for île d'Yeu (Augia, Insula Oya) or Oye-Plage (Ogia 7th C.) and constitutes the suffix -ey in Jersey, Guernsey (Greneroi), Alderney (Alneroi) and Chausey (Calsoi).[40] Chausey can be compared with Cholsey (GB, Berkshire, Ceolesig 891), interpreted by E. Ekwall[41] as "Ceola 's island".These -ey names could have been reinforced by the Viking heritage, because -ey is similar, so that it is possible to interpret the first part of the toponym as an Old Norse element. The source of it is unclear. Scholars surmise it derives from jarth (Old Norse for "earth") or jarl (earl), or perhaps a personal name, Geirr ("Geirr's Island").[42][edit] HistoryMain article: History of JerseyJersey history is influenced by its strategic location between the northern coast of France and the southern coast of England; the island's recorded history extends over a thousand years.Evidence of Bronze Age and early Iron Age settlements can be found in many locations around the island. Archaeological evidence of Roman influence has been found, in particular the coastal headland site at Le Pinacle, Les Landes, where remains of a primitive structure are attributed to Roman temple worship (fanum).[43] Evidence for settled Roman occupation has yet to be established.Jersey was invaded by Vikings in the ninth century. Formerly under the control of Brittany, but in the archbishopric of Rouen, the island was eventually annexed to the Duchy of Normandy by William Longsword, Duke of Normandy in 933 and it became one of the Norman Islands. When William's descendant, William the Conqueror, conquered England in 1066, the Duchy of Normandy and the kingdom of England were governed under one monarch.[44] The Dukes of Normandy owned considerable estates on the island, and Norman families living on their estates founded many of the historical Norman-French Jersey family names. King John lost all his territories in mainland Normandy in 1204 to King Philip II Augustus, but retained possession of Jersey, along with Guernsey and the other Channel Islands. The islands have been internally self-governing since then.[45]Islanders travelled across the North Atlantic to participate in the Newfoundland fisheries in the late 16th century.[46] In recognition for help given to him during his exile in Jersey in the 1640s, Charles II gave George Carteret, bailiff and governor, a large grant of land in the American colonies, which he promptly named New Jersey. It is now part of the United States of America.[47][48]Trade laid the foundations of prosperity, aided by neutrality between England and France.[49] The Jersey way of life involved agriculture, milling, fishing, shipbuilding, and production of woollen goods. 19th century improvements in transport links brought tourism to the island.During World War II, Jersey was occupied by Nazi Germany from 1 July 1940 until 9 May 1945 (when Germany surrendered).[50]
