This is the name Marco Polo used for the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. Can you guess its modern name? /ˈkæmbəluːk/ 核心释义：元大都（今北京），是马可·波罗在游记中对元代都城的称呼，源自蒙古语“汗八里”（Khanbaliq），意为“大汗之城”。 背景补充：该词是蒙古语的拉丁语转写形式，马可·波罗在《马可·波罗游记》中用Cambaluc详细描述了这座都城的繁华，成为欧洲人对元代北京的经典称呼，也让西方世界首次清晰了解到元代中国的都城风貌。 4 There are other important persons related to the Silk Road.
