英语翻译
番禺为秦置古县.秦以前,对番禺及岭南一带,有多种称谓.《元和郡县志》“岭南道”下记：“广州,春秋百越之地.”春秋时泛称百越,战国时称“扬越”,《史记·南越列传》载：“秦时已并天下,略定扬越,置桂林、南海、象郡.”张晏“扬越”下注云：“扬州之南越也.”又“索隐”引《战国策》云：“吴起为楚收扬越”.战国时的“扬越”,大致包括今两广及两湖、江西部分地方.而岭南交通不便,地广人稀,并未成为楚国的势力范围.秦时又称岭南“陆梁”,《史记·秦始皇本纪》载：“三十三年.……略取陆梁地,为桂林、象郡、南海”.“正义”注：“岭南之人多处山陆,其性强梁,故称陆梁”.“扬越”为较古之名,地域较广；“陆梁”之名后起,专指岭南.
“番禺”之名,战国时已有.《水经注·氵艮水篇》：“氵艮水东别经番禺,《山海经》谓之贲禺者也.”《山海经》载“桂林八树在贲禺东”,郭璞注：“今番禺.”汉初的史料亦多处提到“番禺”,或亦书作“蕃禺(隅)”,即指今广州番禺一带,是当时岭南最为重要的聚落,已形成地区性的政治、经济中心,亦是广东境内最早见于古史的地名.
“番禺”之得名,历来说法不一.主要有三：一是“二山”说.《后汉书·地理志》、唐《元和郡县志》及《初学记》等,均认为县治有番山、禺山,因以为名.明朝黄佐《广东通志》载：“番禺县治东南一里曰番山,其山多木棉,其下为泮宫；自南联属而北一里曰禺山,其上多松柏.”又黄佐《番禺二山记》云：“二山相连如城,南汉时刘?凿平.”番禺因二山而得名之说,相沿已久.
二是“一山”说,即番山之隅说.郦道元《水经注》载：“今入城东南偏,有水坑陵,城倚其上,闻此县人名之为番山；县名番禺,谓番山之禺也.”禺,即隅,指附近的地方.
三是“蛮夷之地”说.1953年在广州西村石头岗一号西汉前期墓中出土有烙印“蕃禺”二字的漆盒,1983年在广州象岗南越王墓出土有铸上“蕃禺”二字的汉式铜鼎.考古学家麦英豪在《广州城始建年代考》中据出土文物认为,秦至汉初,番禺的“番”,写作“蕃”,与“藩”通.即番蛮、蛮夷之意.《周礼·秋官》云：“九州之外谓之蕃国”.禺,犹隅,指区域、边远之地.秦汉之前,番禺一带僻处一隅,中原汉人视之为边远的蛮夷之地,因以为名.
以上三说,未有定论.历代省志、府志、县志,多持“二山”说.我国不少地方有因山川而命地名的惯例,多数人相承古说,认为番禺是因番山、禺山而得名.
此外,还有认为“番禺”是黄帝曾孙之名,因以为名；亦有认为番禺源于南海神或番禺即盘古；还有“番禺”乃俚人(黎族人)语,即“盐村”等说法.
