Syracuse - Shirakyusu (English spelling) Syracuse

Japanese: シラキュース - しらきゅーす(英語表記)Syracuse
Syracuse - Shirakyusu (English spelling) Syracuse

A city on the shores of Lake Onandoga in central New York State, United States. Population 147,306 (2000). It is the commercial and industrial center of the surrounding area, and is also important as an import port and a transportation hub. The manufacturing of electrical products, electronic devices, automobiles, and aircraft parts is thriving, and chemical and printing/publishing industries are also major industries. A full-scale trading post was established by white people in 1786. Three years later, salt production was established, and it flourished to the point that it was said that "all salt used in the United States comes from Syracuse," but it declined after the Civil War. The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 and the subsequent opening of the railroad had a major impact on the rapid urban development. The city is also a university town, with Syracuse University, known for its Chinese studies, at its center.

アメリカ合衆国、ニューヨーク州中部オナンドーガ湖岸の都市。人口14万7306(2000)。周辺地域の商工業の中心をなし、輸入港、交通の要衝としても重要である。電気製品、電子機器、自動車、および航空機部品などの製造が盛んで、化学工業、印刷・出版業も中心工業の一つである。1786年に白人による本格的な交易所が設立された。その3年後には製塩業がおこり、「合衆国で使用される塩はシラキュースから」といわれるほど隆盛を極めたが、南北戦争後衰退した。1825年のエリー運河の開通とその後の鉄道の開通が、急速な都市発展に大きな影響を及ぼした。同市はまた大学都市でもあり、中国研究で知られるシラキュース大学がその中心をなす。
