It is said that Bridge of Allan copper was used in the first coinage of halfpennies.
请专家剖析一下 Bridge of Allan copper 的意思是和什么语法结构?
Tradition has it that Bridge of Allan copper was used in the first coinage of halfpennies. (原句是以Tradition 开头,我按原句翻译)
【翻译】相传,苏格兰艾伦桥镇的铜被用于最早的半便士的铸造。
1. Tradition has it that:习语。意为“相传”。
2. Bridge of Allan:不是“大桥”的意思,而是苏格兰一个迷人的小镇,叫做“艾伦桥”。原来这里盛产“黄铜”,用以制造钱币。
3. copper 是小写,不是专有名词。在Bridge of Allan copper 中,Bridge of Allan 是专有名词作定语,也意味着这里以盛产铜而闻名。比如:Weifang kites (潍坊风筝),直接用地名作定语。
