Say it right: Netherlands
荷兰改用新版国家徽标
Which country is famous for tulips and windmills? Most call it the Netherlands while others call it Holland. It's confusing sometimes.
哪个国家以郁金香和风车闻名于世？大多数人（在英文中）称之为Netherlands（尼德兰），还有一些人叫它Holland（荷兰）。这有时令人感到莫名其妙。
We won't be confused anymore. In December, the country's government announced that it would stop using Holland as its nickname, reported US News.
我们将不再为此感到困惑了。据《美国新闻》报道，去年12月，该国政府宣布停止使用Holland作为昵称。
According to the Guardian, Holland only makes up two of the country's 12 provinces: North-Holland, where Amsterdam is located; and South-Holland, the home of Rotterdam and The Hague. The nickname, however, is often used to describe the entire country.
据《卫报》报道，“Holland”一词仅指该国12个省中的两个省，即阿姆斯特丹所在的“北荷兰省”，以及鹿特丹和海牙所在的“南荷兰省”。但这个昵称常常被用来指代整个国家。
In order to change this situation, ministries and universities in the country can only use its official name, the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
为了改变这一现状，该国的政府部门及高校只能使用“the Kingdom of the Netherlands”（中文译名：荷兰王国）这一官方名字。

According to China Daily, this measure is part of a plan to draw tourists to other parts of the country as some cities are battling "overtourism".
据《中国日报》报道，这一举措是引流游客到该国其他地方的计划的一部分，因为一些城市正面临“过度旅游”这一难题。
In the past, instead of the Netherlands, Holland was written in the country's logo for tourism marketing. Many foreign tourists only visit the two provinces in Holland.
过去，该国在宣传旅游业时采用了内有Holland字样的徽标，而非Netherlands。许多国外游客只会游览两个荷兰省。
"It is a little strange to promote only a small part of the Netherlands abroad, that is, only Holland," a spokesperson for the foreign ministry told the Spanish international news agency EFE.
“只将国家的一部分（指Holland）向海外推广是有些奇怪。”荷兰外交部一位发言人在接受西班牙通讯社埃菲社采访时如此表示。
So the government is making a new logo, one that combines the initials NL with an orange tulip, the country's national flower.
因此，该国政府推出了一版新徽标，将首字母缩写NL字样以及国花橙色郁金香的造型结合了起来。
