释义

名词

原位于美芝路（Beach Road）的克莱德台市场（Clyde Terrace Market）的俗称。也称克莱台巴刹、美芝路巴刹。

DEFINITION

Noun

The colloquial name of Clyde Terrace Market, which was originally located at Beach Road. Also known in Mandarin as “克莱台巴刹” or “美芝路巴刹”.

由来
  • 有说法认为克莱德台市场的名字，是以在 1857 年的印度叛乱中担任总司令的第一代克莱德男爵科林·坎贝尔（First Baron Clyde，Field Marshall Colin Campbell）命名。
  • “巴刹” 则音译自马来语的 pasar，指菜市场。
  • 由于克莱德台巴刹的前座是钢铁建筑物，当地的居民便以此特征来指称克莱德台巴刹。
  • 铁巴刹在 1874 年便已经开始运作，后来逐渐成为生鲜食材的批发中心。许多小型摊贩一般从这里买货，然后再拿到较偏远的村落或小型巴刹贩卖。
  • 1977 至 1983 年间，为了让路给东海岸园道（East Coast Parkway）及其他市区发展项目，铁巴刹的各部分陆续被拆除。铁巴刹里的商贩则搬迁至巴西班让批发中心（Pasir Panjang Wholesale Center）。
  • 如今，1990 年落成的新门广场（The Gateway）便是建在铁巴刹的部分土地上。
ETYMOLOGY
  • It is believed that Clyde Terrace Market was named after Colin Campbell, First Baron Clyde, who was Field Marshall in the 1857 Indian Mutiny.
  • The Mandarin term “巴刹” is the transliteration of the Malay word pasar, which refers to markets.
  • As the building in front of Clyde Terrace Market was made of steel, local residents referred to the market by this feature.
    Clyde Terrace Market commenced operation in 1874 and eventually evolved into a wholesale centre for fresh produce. Many small-scale vendors usually purchased their goods here and sold them at remote villages or small markets.
  • From 1977 to 1983, various parts of Clyde Terrace Market were progressively demolished to make way for East Coast Parkway and other urban development projects. The vendors were relocated to Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre.
  • Currently, The Gateway, established in 1990, is built on a section of the old grounds which Clyde Terrace Market once stood.
