“安大略湖”（Lake Ontario）这个名字源自温达特人的词 Ontari’io。这个名字非常贴切，意思是：“湖很美，湖很大。”
这个名字已经有四百多年的历史，比加拿大联邦成立和《美国独立宣言》的发表都要早。
我们知道，美国正在发生变化——他们的贸易关系、外交政策、国家纪念物，甚至水域的名称，都在改变。
但加拿大人同样知道：尊重现实，就应该叫它安大略湖！过去如此，现在如此，永远如此。

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
