在中世纪时,中国东南沿海地区有一个闻名于外的海港城市,被阿拉伯人称为Zaitun。该城是海上丝绸之路的起点,被西方人誉为“东方第一大港”,是当时著名的东方名城。1292年,意大利旅行家马可波罗在叙述其西还旅程时写道:“离开福州市……第五天傍晚,抵达宏伟秀丽的Zaitun城”,“Zaitun是世界上最大的港口之一,大批商人云集这里,货物堆积如山,的确难以想象。”数十年后的1346年,摩洛哥旅行家伊本吧都他(Ibn Batuta)亦写道:“我们渡海到达的第一座城市是Zaitun……该城的港口是世界大港之一,甚至是最大的港口。”英语单词satin就来自东方名城Zaitun,表示来自Zaitun的丝绸、缎子。

小知识
Satin is a soft and shiny type of fabric. Satin is commonly used to make nightgowns, dresses, baseball jackets, and even fancy bed sheets.
You can identify a material as satin from its dull back and glossy front. This is a result of the way satin is woven, from fibers made of silk, rayon, or polyester. Sometimes bed sheets and upholstery are also made from satin. The word satin was originally Old French, believed to come from the Arabic zaytuni, and be influenced by the Latin word seta, both meaning “satin.”
