另外在东非坦桑尼亚也有一个地方叫 Mbosi,该国各种语言都同属 Niger-Kordofanian 语族。
Wenjer Leuschel (X) Feb 24, 2008:
顺道一提,Mbosi 这个词源自次撒哈拉 Niger-Congo 语系(Niger-Kordofanian 语族)语言,是「陨石」的意思。若要意译这个地名,可以称做「陨石镇」;若要音译这个地名,则可以参考 http://www.6jc.cn/tools/xz/waiguo/africa/index.htm 里同属这个语系(几乎所有西非和中非国家)地名中有 Mb... 开头的地名翻译法:「姆玻希」可。
Wenjer Leuschel (X) Feb 24, 2008:
@Angus: 其實西非有兩個地方叫 Mbosi,一個在 Nigeria,另一個在 Democratic Republic of Congo。後者的法文全稱叫 Les Mbosi au Congo,有一點像智利的 Santiago de Chile,以免與其它叫 Santiago 的拉美地方混淆,但在智利沒有人會以全稱來說自己國家的首都。這裡問的 Mbosi 在哪個國家,只能從更大的語境確定,即:提問者可以在正在翻譯的文本中判定。

如果非要汉译,不妨来一个:姆博西
pkchan Feb 24, 2008:
