| 词汇 | black sea |
| 词源 | Black Sea. The ancient Greeks never gave a derogatory name to any natural force, good or bad. So they named what we know as the Black Sea, the Euxine or “the Hospitable,” even though it was noted for its storms and rocky shores. The Turks later named it the Black Sea because they were terrified of its dangers and large stretches of open water. |
