Most - Most (English spelling)

Japanese: モスト - もすと(英語表記)Most
Most - Most (English spelling)

A mining and industrial city in the northwest of Bohemia, Czech Republic. Population 68,755 (2001). The center of the Most lignite coal field. Originating as a medieval city in the 13th century, it developed in the late 19th century as coal mining became more widespread. During World War II, it suffered heavy damage from air raids as part of Nazi Germany, but a late Gothic church from the 16th century remains. Environmental destruction, including acid rain, is a major problem.

チェコのボヘミア地方北西部にある鉱工業都市。人口6万8755(2001)。モスト褐炭田の中心地。13世紀の中世都市に起源をもち、19世紀後半に石炭採掘が本格化して発展した。第二次世界大戦中にはナチス・ドイツ領として空爆で大きな被害を受けたが、16世紀の後期ゴシック様式の教会が残されている。酸性雨など環境破壊が著しく、大きな問題となっている。
