英語詞語辨析

cape指"伸入海中的尖型高地" 而promontory泛指岬,海角威爾遜角伸入巴斯海峽(Bass Strait),很像壹個島嶼,所以用Wilson's Promontory(參考/view/2039270.html?wtp=tt)而好望角是壹個突兀的海角(見/view/15613.html?wtp=tt"名稱由來"第三段),所以用Cape of Good Hope.但其實兩者可以互換 只是專有名詞而已"好望角"在漢英詞典中的解釋: 1. [Geology] Cape of Good Hope; Cape Colony; Cape Province (a promontory on the southwest coast of South Africa south of Cape Town)其實也可用a promontory on the southwest coast of South Africa south of Cape Town替代有點像Mountain和Hill的關系
