由来
  • 17世纪的东陵区有很多山丘。之后，这个区域被南来新加坡的潮州人开发并称为“大东陵”（tua tang leng），意思是“东部最高的山”。
  • 1854年，新加坡首位法律事务代理人威廉•纳皮尔（William Napier）定居于东陵。他的住宅名为“Tang Leng”，即潮州话的“东陵”。
  • 如今，东陵一带建有许多高级住宅、酒店及外国大使馆。新加坡植物园（Singapore Botanic Gardens）也在此区内。建于1859年的新加坡植物园正门被称为“东陵门”（Tanglin Gate）。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Tanglin is an area of hilly terrain. When the early Teochews who came to Singapore developed the area, they called it “大东陵” (tua tang leng), literally, “high hill in the east”.
  • In 1854, William Napier, the first law agent in Singapore, made his home in the area. His residence was called “Tang Leng” – which was derived from the Teochew dialect name.
  • Today, there are many upscale residences, hotels and foreign embassies in Tanglin. The Singapore Botanic Gardens is also located here; its main entrance, built in 1859, is known as Tanglin Gate.
例句
东陵区与乌节购物地带有一段距离，是喧嚣闹市中难得的幽静住宅区，因此该区私宅向来抢手。（《联合早报》，30/6/2018）
SAMPLE SENTENCE
The Tanglin district is located a distance away from the bustling Orchard shopping belt, making it a rare tranquil residential area in the midst of the busy city. As a result, private homes in this area have always been in high demand. (Lianhe Zaobao, 30/6/2018)
