【英文原文】
Zencapopoca Volcano, Mexico, 1999
"'We call the volcano Zencapopoca now. That's 'always smoking' in Nahuatl,' says a man in Cholula, using the Aztec language still spoken locally. The town's pre-Hispanic pyramid, crowned today by a church, may have been built in reverence to El Popo; its ancient name, Tlachihualtépetl, means 'man-made mountain.'"
—From "Popocatépetl," January 1999, National Geographic magazine
【中文翻译】
一位乔卢拉的男子用当地仍然使用的阿兹特克语说:“ 现在,我们把这座火山叫做森卡波波卡。在那瓦特语中那是一直在冒烟的意思。”这个小城现在顶上有一座教堂的前西班牙金字塔可能是修建来敬畏El Popo;它的古代名字Tlachihualtépetl是指人造的山峰。
