So,if you take number one--but we don't have to go through them all and I assure you we won't--if you take number one, the Ain,a-i-n,it's named after a river; or if you take number two,the Aisne,a-i-s-n-e, it's named after a river; and how many hundreds of thousands of people died along there in World War One or,you take number three,the same thing,Allier.

如果你看第一个省,我向你们保证,我们不用挨个了解,看第一个省,安省,a-i-n,来自一条河的名字,或是第二个埃纳省,a-i-s-n-e,来自于一条河的名字,有成千上万的人在这里死于,第一次世界大战,第三个,阿列省
