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（蘇格蘭西南部工業城市，蘇格蘭最大城市和主要港口。曾經是重要的造船中心，當造船等行業在 20 世紀末衰落時，與失業、毒品和犯罪有關的問題變得很突出。格拉斯哥有許多富有吸引力的建築以及重要的學校、大學和博物館，在 20 世紀 90 年代發展成爲重要的文化、藝術和教育中心）
