助記提示
banlieue n.f. 郊區(qū)，市郊: 在中世紀(jì)，每當(dāng)封建領(lǐng)主組建軍隊(duì)參戰(zhàn)時(shí)，其附庸都要承擔(dān)為其出征的義務(wù)。屆時(shí)，領(lǐng)主會下達(dá)一道動(dòng)員令（ban），將其所有的附庸都召集起來。當(dāng)時(shí)的法律規(guī)定，領(lǐng)主所住城市方圓一古里（lieue，約合4公里）之內(nèi)的區(qū)域都屬于該領(lǐng)主的地盤，在這片區(qū)域內(nèi)，領(lǐng)主所下達(dá)的動(dòng)員令同樣有效。因此，人們就將這片區(qū)域稱作“banlieue”。
17世紀(jì)時(shí)，“banlieue”的詞義發(fā)生了改變。從此，人們開始用它來指稱大城市周邊的村鎮(zhèn)和田野。
