1、12景德鎮(zhèn)，原名昌南，位于江西省境內(nèi)。景德鎮(zhèn)歷史悠久，是中國歷史上的四大名鎮(zhèn)之一。景德鎮(zhèn)因其瓷器(chinaware)的生產(chǎn)而聞名，據(jù)記載，其瓷器生產(chǎn)可以追溯到漢代(the HanDynasty)。在明代 Ming Dynasty)，大量景德鎮(zhèn)瓷器銷往國外，極大地推動(dòng)了景德鎮(zhèn)陶瓷的對(duì)外貿(mào)易，擴(kuò)大了中國陶瓷的影響。由于制造歷史長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)、瓷器產(chǎn)品質(zhì)地精良、對(duì)外銷量大，景德鎮(zhèn)獲得了“瓷都”(capicalof chinaware)的稱號(hào)。1.第1句中將“原名昌南”處理為插入語，用分詞短語formerlynamed Changnan來表達(dá)，也可處理為Whose引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句，譯作whose for
