پست سیلان Explanation: در این کتاب خانواده سرهنگ در کشور سیلان (که امروزه سریلانکا) نامیده می شود و در قدیم از مستعمرات انگلستان بود زندگی می کردند بهتر است این عبارت را "پست سیلان" ترجمه کنیم نه "پست سریلانکا" تا قدمت متن مشخص باشد |

قایق سیلان به هند Explanation: We use "catch" for bus/boat/ship/train/etc. So in this case, it should be the train or the boat that travels between the two countries. It refers to a boat-train route between Ceylon and India. Depending on the context, you can change the order: قایق هند به سیلان if the letter should go from India to Ceylon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boat_Mail -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2014-11-20 06:28:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Since they want to send the letters from India to Celyon, the correct meaning is کشتی/قایق هند به سیلان. Please note that it refers to an old system of sending letters between Ceylon and India which was in place back in 19th century. |
