Mozambique [city] (English spelling)

Japanese: モザンビーク[市](英語表記)Mozambique
Mozambique [city] (English spelling)
A port town in the north of the Republic of Mozambique, in southeast Africa. Population 13,000 (1960). Facing the Mozambique Channel, it is a good natural port on a small island about 5 km from the mainland, but the land is hot and humid. Rumbo on the opposite shore is connected to inland Malawi by rail, but the new port of Nacala is located about 50 km north, so the port is less important. It has been an Arab port since ancient times, but in 1508-10 the Portuguese built a fort, a Christian church, and a building to collect customs.

Japanese:
アフリカ南東部,モザンビーク共和国北部の港町。人口1万3000(1960)。モザンビーク海峡に面し,大陸から5kmほど離れた小島にある天然の良港であるが,高温多湿の土地である。対岸のルンボが内陸のマラウィと鉄道で結ばれているが,その北方約50kmに新しいナカラ港があるため,この港の重要性は低い。古くからアラブの港であったが,1508‐10年にポルトガルが城塞を築き,キリスト教会や関税を取る建物を建てた。
