an industrial city in south-west Scotland. It is Scotland's largest city and a major port. It used to be an important centre for shipbuilding, and when this and several other industries closed down in the late 20th century it became well known for problems connected with unemployment, drugs and crime. Glasgow has many interesting and attractive buildings, as well as important schools, universities and museums, and in the 1990s it developed into a major centre for culture, the arts and education. In 1990 it was named European City of Culture and in 2003 was European Capital of Sport. Since 1996 it has been governed as a council area (called Glasgow City).格拉斯哥（苏格兰西南部工业城市，苏格兰最大城市和主要港口。曾经是重要的造船中心，当造船等行业在 20 世纪末衰落时，与失业、毒品和犯罪有关的问题变得很突出。格拉斯哥有许多富有吸引力的建筑以及重要的学校、大学和博物馆，在 20 世纪 90 年代发展成为重要的文化、艺术和教育中心）
