Addis Ababa (English spelling)

Japanese: アジス・アベバ(英語表記)Addis Ababa
Addis Ababa (English spelling)
The capital of Ethiopia. The estimated population was about 500,000 in 1965, 1.4 million in 1984, and 2.32 million in 1994. Located almost in the center of the Ethiopian plateau, at an altitude of 2,400 meters, the city experiences a warm or cool climate throughout the year, despite its closeness to the equator. The city is called "the place with the best climate in the world" and "13 months of sunshine" because the Ethiopian calendar has 13 months. From Mount Entoto on the outskirts, a group of modern buildings can be seen standing out against the greenery of eucalyptus trees, but originally the Ethiopian capital was a temporary presence, moving in search of coniferous forests for fuel.

Japanese:
エチオピアの首都。推定人口は1965年に約50万であったのに対し,84年には140万,94年には232万とされている。エチオピア高原のほぼ中央にあり,標高2400mに及ぶため,赤道に近くても,温暖ないし冷涼な気候が年間を通してみられる。〈世界で最も気候のよい所〉とか,エチオピアの暦が13ヵ月からなっていたために,〈13ヵ月の日光〉というような形容句を冠して呼ばれる都市である。郊外のエントト山からはユーカリの緑に浮かんだ近代的建築群が望まれるが,もともとエチオピアの首都は,燃料にする針葉樹の森林を求めて移動する一時的な存在であった。
