释义

名词

位于新加坡中部偏东，麦波申（MacPherson）以北、波东巴西（Potong Pasir）以东的地段。也称“翡龙山”。

DEFINITION

Noun

The area located slightly east of central Singapore, north of MacPherson and east of Potong Pasir. Also known in Mandarin as “翡龙山”.

由来

翡珑山在工程师兼建筑师约翰·麦克耐尔少校（Major John Frederick Adolphus McNair）于 1873 年绘制的新加坡岛地图中便已被标示。
翡珑山从 1950 年代起就是新加坡辜加警察团的居住地，目前也是辜加警察团营地的所在地。营地周围的环境效仿尼泊尔的建筑与风俗文化，希望能减少这些身在外地的雇佣兵和他们家眷的思乡之苦。
翡珑山西侧曾是比达达利（Bidadari）坟场的所在地。
除了辜加警察团，新加坡首座公共火化场以及防止动物虐待协会（Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals）也曾坐落于翡珑山。

ETYMOLOGY

Mount Vernon was already marked on the map of Singapore Island drawn in 1873 by engineer and architect Major John Frederick Adolphus McNair.
Mount Vernon has been the residence of the Gurkha Contingent in Singapore since the 1950s, and it is currently the location of the Gurkha Contingent’s cantonment. The environment around the cantonment reflects Nepali architecture, customs, and culture. This is aimed at reducing feelings of homesickness among the hired soldiers and their families living in a foreign land.
On the west of Mount Vernon used to be Bidadari Cemetery.
In addition to the Gurkha Contingent, Singapore’s first public crematorium and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) were also located at Mount Vernon.
