Belgium (n.) Officially the Kingdom of Belgium 比利時王國（荷蘭語：Koninkrijk België；法語：Royaume de Belgique；德語：Königreich Belgien），是一個西歐國家。它是歐洲聯盟的創始會員國之一，首都布魯塞爾是歐盟與北大西洋公約組織等大型國際組織的總部所在地。比利時自北起順時針分別與荷蘭、德國、盧森堡和法國接壤，西面則濱臨北海。
比利時的名稱，源自羅馬時代，當時此地稱為比利時高盧（拉丁語：Gallia Belgica），字面意為貝爾蓋人的高盧。「比利時」這個中文譯名，源自1849年徐繼畬所編纂的《瀛寰志略》。 Is a sovereign state in Western Europe bordered by France, the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, and the North Sea. It is a small, densely populated country which covers an area of 30,528 square kilometres (11,787 sq mi) and has a population of about 11 million people. Straddling the cultural boundary between Germanic and Latin Europe, Belgium is home to two main linguistic groups: the Dutch-speaking, mostly Flemish community, which constitutes about 59% of the population, and the French-speaking, mostly Walloon population, which comprises 41% of all Belgians. Additionally, there is a small group of German-speakers who live in the East Cantons located around the High Fens area, and bordering Germany.
Historically, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg (along with parts of Northern France and Western Germany) were known as the Low Countries; it once covered a somewhat larger area than the current Benelux group of states. The region was called Belgica in Latin, after the Roman province of Gallia Belgica. From the end of the Middle Ages until the 17th century, the area of Belgium was a prosperous and cosmopolitan centre of commerce and culture. From the 16th century until the Belgian Revolution in 1830, when Belgium seceded from the Netherlands, the area of Belgium served as the battleground between many European powers, causing it to be dubbed the "Battlefield of Europe", [7] a reputation strengthened by both world wars.
Today, Belgium is a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance. It is divided into three regions and three communities, that exist next to each other. Its two largest regions are the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north and the French-speaking southern region of Wallonia - both are monolingual in their respective languages. The Brussels-Capital Region is an officially bilingual (French and Dutch) enclave within the Flemish Region. [8] A German-speaking Community exists in eastern Wallonia. [9] [10] Belgium's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in its political history and complex system of governance, made up of six different governments. [11] [12]
Belgium participated in the Industrial Revolution [13] [14] and, during the course of the 20th century, possessed a number of colonies in Africa. [15] The second half of the 20th century was marked by rising tensions between the Dutch-speaking and the French-speaking citizens fueled by differences in language and culture and the unequal economic development of Flanders and Wallonia. This continuing antagonism has led to several far-reaching reforms, resulting in a transition from a unitary to a federal arrangement during the period from 1970 to 1993. Despite the reforms, tensions between the groups have remained, if not increased; there is significant separatism particularly among the Flemish; controversial language laws exist such as the municipalities with language facilities; [16] and the formation of a coalition government took 18 months following the June 2010 federal election, a world record. [17] Unemployment in Wallonia is more than double that of Flanders, which boomed after the war. [18]
Belgium is one of the six founding countries of the European Union and hosts the official seats of the European Commission, Council of the European Union, and European Council, as well as a seat of the European Parliament in the country's capital, Brussels. Belgium is also a founding member of the Eurozone, NATO, OECD and WTO, and a part of the trilateral Benelux Union. Brussels, hosts several of the EU's official seats as well as the headquarters of many major international organizations such as NATO. [nb 1] Belgium is also a part of the Schengen Area. Belgium is a developed country, with an advanced high-income economy and is categorized as "very high" in the Human Development Index.
Belgrade (n.) 貝爾格勒 Belgrade is the capital and largest city of Serbia. It is located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, where the Pannonian Plain meets the Balkans. [6] Its name translates to "White city". The urban area of the City of Belgrade has a population of 1.23 million, while over 1,68 million people live within its administrative limits.[7]
One of the most important prehistoric cultures of Europe, the Vinča culture, evolved within the Belgrade area in the 6th millennium BC. In antiquity, Thraco-Dacians inhabited the region, and after 279 BC Celts conquered the city, naming it Singidūn.[8] It was conquered by the Romans during the reign of Augustus, and awarded city rights in the mid-2nd century. [9] It was settled by the Slavs in the 520s, and changed hands several times between the Byzantine Empire, Frankish Empire, Bulgarian Empire and Kingdom of Hungary before it became the capital of Serbian king Stephen Dragutin (1282–1316). In 1521, Belgrade was conquered by the Ottoman Empire and became the seat of the Sanjak of Smederevo. [10] It frequently passed from Ottoman to Habsburg rule, which saw the destruction of most of the city during the Austro-Ottoman wars. Belgrade was again named the capital of Serbia in 1841. Northern Belgrade remained the southernmost Habsburg post until 1918, when the city was reunited. As a strategic location, the city was battled over in 115 wars and razed 44 times. [11] Belgrade was the capital of Yugoslavia from its creation in 1918.
Belgrade has a special administrative status within Serbia [12] and it is one of five statistical regions of Serbia. Its metropolitan territory is divided into 17 municipalities, each with its own local council. [13] City of Belgrade covers 3.6% of Serbia's territory, and around 24% of the country's population lives within its administrative limits. [14] It is classified as a Beta- Global City. [15]

What is the difference between 'belive' and 'believe'?
The words belive and believe are often confused because they have a similar spelling. But what is the difference?
Belive is obsolete and is hardly ever used—I've never used it before in 40 years of English writing and speaking. You almost certainly want to use believe. It appears about 4,222 times more frequently than belive.
Belive means quickly, forthwith when used as an adverb.
Believe means to accept as true, particularly without absolute certainty when used as a verb.
A good way to remember the difference is that believe ends in -eve. Some people believe that Eve was the first woman.
Should it be I do not believe or I do not belive?
The correct phrase is I do not believe. These phrases are often confused because they have a similar spelling.
Is the correct phrase reason to believe that or reason to belive that?
The correct phrase is reason to believe that. These phrases are often confused because of their similar spelling.
Some synonyms of believe are: credit, regard, trust, think, suppose.
