Chinese translation:新泽西州滨水市
Explanation:
我在那里住过。在新泽西州东北部,属于Bergen County。当地华文报刊常译为“滨水市”,隔哈德逊河与曼哈顿相望。CT不是康涅狄格州,是Court的简称,是指形状走向呈方形,好似一个庭院的小街道。

网上有不同的译法。不过,CT应该是Connecticut吧?

如果英汉地名词典中没收录,只能用汉字拼读了。

As a address, is it necessary to put it in Chinese?

neutral  Huijun Suo: 具体采用意译还是音译还要看情况,大陆多以新华社的地名译名手册为准,港澳台和海外喜欢意译,有时要看根据户要求、受众对象等因素而定,甚至可以不译。另外此处的CT肯定不可能是Connecticut,因为不符合英文地名的拼写顺序。

  -> 楼主是大陆人,所以我还以为她要的也是商务印书馆工具书的译名。
