释义

名词

位于东海岸（East Coast）和马林百列（Marine Parade）一带的邻里。简称“加东”（Katong）。

DEFINITION

Noun

A neighbourhood in the East Coast and Marine Parade area. Abbreviated in Mandarin as “加东”.

由来
  • 马来语 Tanjong Katong 的音译。马来语的 tanjong 或 tanjung 是“海角”的意思，而 katong 或 katung 则指一种已经绝种的海龟。另有说法认为，katong 是指海岸线的海市蜃楼所形成的涟漪效果。
  • 加东早期属于沿海地区，当地曾有很多椰子种植园。
  • 20世纪初，土生华人（Peranakan Chinese）和欧亚裔（Eurasian）在加东建了许多用于度假的海滨别墅，所以加东一带的部分建筑仍保留了当时的建筑特色。
  • 1966年，新加坡政府开始实行填海计划，加东一带的别墅也因此不再邻近海边。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “丹戎加东” is the transliteration of the Malay name Tanjong Katong. Tanjong or tanjung means “cape” or “headland”, while katong or katung refers to a type of turtle which is now extinct. Katong or katung could also refer to the ripple effect caused by coastal mirages.
  • In the early days, Katong was a coastal area with many coconut plantations.
  • In the early 20th century, the Peranakan Chinese and Eurasians built many seaside holiday villas in Katong. Some buildings in the area still retain the architectural characteristics of that era.
  • In 1966, the Government began to implement land reclamation projects. As a result, the seaside villas were no longer adjacent to the coast.
例句
加东原本是东部沿海地区，从丹戎加东的加东公园开始，一直到今天的东海岸路一带，跨越好几公里。（《联合早报》，11/6/2020）
