Ningbo ( literally "Tranquil Waves") is a seaport sub-provincial city with a population of 800,000 in northeastern Zhejiang province, People's Republic of China. Lying south of the Hangzhou Bay, and facing the East China Sea to the east, Ningbo borders Shaoxing to the west and Taizhou to the south, and is separated from Zhoushan by a narrow body of water.

关于这段介绍，里面的“literally "Tranquil Waves"”有点差矣。
古代的帝皇命名“宁波”可能用的是使动用法，就像“镇海”、“定海”。可是老外（也有可能是随意的望文生义的同胞）给用了一个形容词来翻译。相去千里。
