绝大部分城市是拼音直接用的，如Beijing,Kunming，Changsha，但因为英文的发音体系与中外不同，所以即使写法相同，读法大都有些不同，如Shanghai，Guizhou（具体发音用金山查吧，这打不出来）。有些城市由于历史原因写法就和拼音不一样了，如，Hongkong,Lhasa

大部分城市英语表达直接用中国的拼音；例如：

常州：Cangzhou;

无锡：Wuxi;

广州：Guangzhou

汉阳 Hanyang；

武昌 Wuchang

中国的城市在英语表达中，一般不用加city，就像在中文中我们很少说“...城”一样，如果是一定说明“...城市”，是可以加city的，但要表述成“the city of ...”。例如：“The city of Beijing”

中国国家规定，汉语地名、人名的翻译一般以汉语拼音为准，首字母大写，字与字之间不分开，也不再用大写。如：Beijing，Shanghai，Shijiazhuang等；

但有其他地方读音，或者已约定俗成的地名、人名，使用特别名称，如：Urumchi乌鲁木齐，Lhasa拉萨，Tibet西藏，Inner-Mongolia内蒙古等。

西安，英文译名“Xi'an”，旧时译作“Hsian”、“Sian”。其实我觉得以前应该是按照罗马发音来翻译的，有点点类似港澳台那边人名字的翻译。比如孙中山的罗马字译名应该写为 Sun Yat-sen，而不是汉语拼音的 Sun Zhongshan ，例如广州的“中山大学”正式译名应是 Sun Yat-sen Univ.，而不是 Zhongshan Univ.。我觉得随着中国国际地位的提高，城市的英文译名便遵循我们而用作汉语拼音了。现在就是Xi'an,加一个标点是为了不至引起混淆。但是楼主的问题又提出了“省份”，所以我再顺便提一下陕西省。 陕西省的英文名是Shaanxi,我记得小学的时候家旁边有一个酒店就是Shaanxi XXX Hotel所以印象深刻。从百度百科看的，陕西省英文采用汉语拼音原则和山西Shanxi重名，按照罗马拼音原则多加一个a~~~

Xi'an was called Chang'an in Han Dynasty. The connotation of "Chang'an" is "a place of permanent peace". It was not until the prosperous Tang Dynasty that Chang'an became famous both at home and abroad as the largest and busiest international metropolis of that age in the world. Xi'an obtained its present name in 1369. It stands first on the six largest ancient capitals. From the 11 century B.C. onwards, Xi'an or its vicinity was established as the capital city by 11 dynasties successively, including the Western Zhou, the Qin, the Han, the Sui and the Tang, and it also served as the capital of two peasant regimes respectively under the rule of Huang Chao and Li Zicheng. The city's capital status lasted for 1,608 years. As regards the number of dynasties and span of time, Xi'an served as an ancient capital beyond compare. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Xi'an was the largest city in the world. Chang'an, was linked to many central Asian regions and Europe via the Silk Road, with thousands of foreign traders living the city. Xi'an is the capital of Shaanxi Province and also the political, economic and cultural center of the Northwest China. With the development of travel industry and the implementation of the open policy, it has become one of the nation's key tourist cities and tourism has become the mainstay in Shaanxi's economy.Xi'an lies at longitude 103? east by latitude 34?north, and 412 meters above sea level. It has an average annual temperature of 13癈, and an average annual precipitation of 604 mm. The rainy season comes in July, August and September. The city now has under its jurisdiction eight districts -- Xincheng, Beilin, Lianhu, Yanta, Weiyang, Baqiao, Lintong and Yangling, and five counties -- Chang'an, Lantian, Huxian, Zhouzhi and Gaoling. As a whole, Xi'an covers an area of 9,983 square kilometers and has population of 5,860,000. The city proper occupies an area 861 square kilometers, and reaches a population of 2,650,000.With an elevation of 500 metres, the Weihe Plain extends between Baoji in the west and Tongguan in the east and borders the Qinling Mountains in the south and the Huangtu Plateau in the north. Lying in the warm zone, the plain has a temperate climate with four distinct seasons. Chequered with the Weihe, Jinghe, Luohe, and Bahe rivers as well as the Jinghui, Weihui and Luohui canals, the fertile land on the plain has easy access to irrigation facilities and an abundant yield of farm produce. Xi'an lies in the centre to the south of this plain, a favourable geographical location surrounded by water and hills. The area around Xi'an was inhabited by the progenitors of the Chinese nation as far back as 500,000-600,000 years ago. In the 1960s, archaeologists discovered in Lantian County to the southeast of Xi'an human fossils and cultural relics belonging to the Paleolithic Period. In the 1950s, the remains from the Neolithic Period were discovered at Banpo Village to the east of Xi'an City. In the 70s, the Jiangzhai Ruins from a later part of the Neolithic period were discovered at Lintong County to the northeast of Xi'an City. These archaeological discoveries indicate that the area around Xi'an is one of the cradles of Chinese civilization.As one of the six ancient capitals in China, Xi'an served as the seat of 12 imperial capitals for 1,120 years after Chinese society had entered the civilized stage. Xi'an is also a world-famous tourist city, a treasure house of cultural relics. The remains of past civilizations furnish evidence of every major epoch in China's half a million history, making for a particularly illustrative textbook of Chinese culture. The history apparent in Xi'an is so ancient and continuous that the city has no parallel anywhere as a cultural site. Here one can visit the sites once inhabited by its primitive people; admire the bronze wares manufactured in the Bronze Age; wander through the city ruins of the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties; imagine for oneself the clamour of the old Oriental metropolis; explore the imperial tombs of the Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties, testimony to the pervasive power of the feudal ruling class; ramble in temples and pagoda courtyards, tracing vestiges of the Silk Road; and study stone inscriptions to appreciate Chinese calligraphy. Not least, Xi'an is the site of excavation of the vast army of terracotta warriors and horses from the tomb of China's First Emperor, Qin Shihuang, from whom the country derives its name.Xi'an was the starting point of the world-famous Silk Road. It can be well likened to a history museum. Moving around this old city is like going through thousands of years back in time. In this vast museum you will see the Banpo Village Remains of a matriarchal community; the Huaqing Hot Springs which was noted as early as the Zhou Dynasty more than 3,000 years back; Qin Shihuang's terra-cotta warriors and horses, known as the eighth wonder of the world; the imperial cemetery grounds of the Han and Tang dynasties; the Great Mosque with unique features; the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Small Wild Goose Pagoda built in the Tang Dynasty; the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower of the Ming Dynasty; and the Forest of Steles with a rich collection of age-old stone steles.
