A long time ago, a group of British people who were frustrated in Britain came to a place in the American continent now called new york. After they settled down, they thought about giving this place a name. There is nothing to listen to when you think about it. It happens that these people are all from a place called York in England. In order to commemorate their hometown, let's call this place New York. This is the origin of New York.
Chinese names in New York are transliterated, and most people's names and place names are translated by transliteration, so as not to cause confusion.
