Berlin (n.) 柏林，是德國首都，也是德國最大的城市，現有居民約340萬人。柏林位於德國東北部，四面被布蘭登堡邦環繞，施普雷河和哈弗爾河流經該市。柏林也是德國十六個邦之一，和漢堡、不萊梅同為德國僅有的三個城邦份。
柏林是歐盟區內人口第3多的城市（歐盟區人口最多的都市是法國的巴黎，其次是英國的倫敦）以及城市面積第8大的城市。它是柏林－布蘭登堡都會區的中心，有來自超過190個國家的5百萬人口。地理上位於歐洲平原，受溫帶季節性氣候影響。城市周圍三分之一的土地由森林、公園、花園、河流和湖泊組成。據有關統數據統計，柏林總人口共有3,405,259人。
該根據考古發掘，柏林地區在八萬年前（ 舊石器時代晚期市）已經有人類活動。該第一次有文字記載是在13世紀，柏林連續的成為以下這些國家的首都：普魯士王國（1701年－1870年）、德意志帝國（1871年－1918年）、威瑪共和國（1919年－1933年）、納粹德國（1933年－1945年）。在1920年代，柏林是世界第3大自治市。第二次世界大戰後，城市被分割；東柏林成為東德的首都，而西柏林事實上成為西德在東德的一塊飛地，被柏林圍牆圍住。直到1990年兩德統一，該市重新獲得全德國首都的地位，駐有147個外國大使館。

Berlin is the capital and the largest city of Germany, as well as one of its 16 constituent states. With a steadily growing population of approximately 3.7 million, [4] Berlin is the second most populous city proper in the European Union behind London and the seventh most populous urban area in the European Union. [5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin-Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents. [6] [7] [8] [9] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one-third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes. [10]
First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes, [11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933), and the Third Reich (1933–1945). [12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world. [13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall (1961–1989) and East German territory. [14] East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while Bonn became the West German capital. Following German reunification in 1990, Berlin once again became the capital of all of Germany.
Berlin is a world city of culture, politics, media and science. [15] [16] [17] [18] Its economy is based on high-tech firms and the service sector, encompassing a diverse range of creative industries, research facilities, media corporations and convention venues. [19] [20] Berlin serves as a continental hub for air and rail traffic and has a highly complex public transportation network. The metropolis is a popular tourist destination. [21] Significant industries also include IT, pharmaceuticals, biomedical engineering, clean tech, biotechnology, construction and electronics.
Berlin is home to world-renowned universities, orchestras, museums, and entertainment venues, and is host to many sporting events. [22] Its Zoological Garden is the most visited zoo in Europe and one of the most popular worldwide. With the world's oldest large-scale movie studio complex, Berlin is an increasingly popular location for international film productions. [23] The city is well known for its festivals, diverse architecture, nightlife, contemporary arts and a very high quality of living. [24] Since the 2000s Berlin has seen the emergence of a cosmopolitan entrepreneurial scene. [25]

Beryl (n.) (Min.) 【礦】綠寶石 A mineral of great hardness, and, when transparent, of much beauty. It occurs in hexagonal prisms, commonly of a green or bluish green color, but also yellow, pink, and white. It is a silicate of aluminium and glucinum (beryllium). The aquamarine is a transparent, sea-green variety used as a gem. The emerald is another variety highly prized in jewelry, and distinguished by its deep color, which is probably due to the presence of a little oxide of chromium.
Beryl (n.) The chief source of beryllium; colored transparent varieties are valued as gems.
Beryl () The rendering in the Authorized Version of the Hebrew word _tarshish_, a precious stone; probably so called as being brought from Tarshish. It was one of the stones on the breastplate of the high priest (Ex. 28:20; R.V. marg., "chalcedony;" 39:13). The colour of the wheels in Ezekiel's vision was as the colour of a beryl stone (1:16; 10:9; R.V., "stone of Tarshish"). It is mentioned in Cant. 5:14; Dan. 10:6; Rev. 21:20. In Ezek. 28:13 the LXX. render the word by "chrysolite," which the Jewish historian Josephus regards as its proper translation. This also is the rendering given in the Authorized Version in the margin. That was a gold-coloured gem, the topaz of ancient authors.
