今日小常识
The name of Moscow’s Red Square has nothing to do with communism or with the colour of many of its buildings. It derives from the word 'krasnyi', which once meant 'beautiful', and has only come to mean 'red' in contemporary Russian.
莫斯科红场的名字来源其实与共产主义和其周围多个建筑的颜色没有关系。红场一名来源于俄语单词 ‘krasnyi’ 原有“美丽”之意，直到当代俄语中才有了 “红色”之意。
