找几个朋友译的都不一样
难道他也是个英语菜鸟？还是给那网站做广告的托？

咋自称“cathay, I”呢？是不是想说我在中国？那就说I'm from China.
cathay是西方对古代中国的称呼，现在不用了。

那段英文好像在回避什么，有的词竟然分开写

好像是契丹的意思。。。。。俄罗斯和保加利亚这些东欧的国家还是这个发音。。。。国泰航空用的也是这个

楼主搞反了，其实China读音跟西班牙语里的Tsina相近，指的都是契丹，后来传到了日本就成了“支那”。而Cathay指的才是古时候的正统中国。

Cathay is the Anglicized version of "Catai" and an alternative name for China in English. It originates from the word Khitan[1](Chinese: 契丹, Qìdān), the name of a nomadic people who founded the Liao Dynasty which ruled much of Northern China from 907 to 1125, and who had a state of their own (Kara-Khitan Khanate) centered around today's Kyrgyzstan for another century thereafter.
Originally, "Catai" was the name applied by Central and Western Asians and Europeans to northern China; it obtained wide currency in Europe after the publication of Marco Polo's book (he referred to southern China as Manji).

原来如此。看来Cathay与China都跟契丹族有关，奇怪为何中国不叫Tang或者Ming。话说古代辽国的汉化程度也很高，甚至不低于宋朝，怪不得外国人也认为辽国就是中国了。

好像东欧又类似Cathay发音，特别是俄语。。。。。
