词源词根法
英语单词province在中文中一般译为“行省”或“省”,它来自拉丁语provincia,指的是古罗马帝国所征服的、除意大利本土以外的地区的最大行政划分单元。拉丁语provincia由pro(前)+vincere(获胜、征服)构成,字面意思就是“所征服的”。=法国东南部与意大利接壤的普罗旺斯(Provence)的名字与province同源,都来自拉丁语provincia,因为它历史上是罗马的纳尔榜南西斯高卢行省的一部分。由于纳尔榜南西斯高卢行省最早被罗马征服,与罗马关系非常融洽,所以被罗马人亲切地简称为provincia,因而在法语中得名Provence(普罗旺斯)。=province['pr?v?ns]n省,行省=Provence[pr??vɑns]n普罗旺斯

小知识
A province is a region within a country. If you travel to Canada, you'll have to decide whether you want to go to the province of Quebec, or Saskatchewan, or one of the other 8 provinces in that enormous country.
Many countries are divided into provinces. In the U.S. we don't have official provinces; we have states and counties. But we can use province in its other meaning, which is “the sphere of one's activities.” If you manage a coffee shop and sit there reading and drinking coffee even when you're not working, then that shop is your province.
