文：丁香和晴空

上面是6月29日陕西省人民政府新闻办公室关于虎照门的新闻发布会上的新闻照片，大家有没有注意到其中的陕西省的拼音是“SHAANXI”而不是大家普遍认为的“SHANXI”？甚至有些网友认为这是发布会出现了不应有的失误，到底是这样么？其实不然，“SHAANXI”是正确的陕西官方拼音，下面跟着晴空看一段资料就清楚了。

Shaanxi (simplified Chinese: 陕西; traditional Chinese: 陝西; pinyin: Shǎnxī; Wade-Giles: Shan-hsi; Postal map spelling: Shensi) is a north-central province of the People's Republic of China, and includes portions of the Loess Plateau on the middle reaches of the Yellow River as well as the Qinling Mountains across the southern part of the province.

By regular Hanyu Pinyin rules, if tone marks are not written, both Shaanxi and the neighbouring province of Shanxi should be spelled "Shanxi"; the difference is in tone: Shānxī and Shǎnxī. To make the difference clear without tonal marks, the spelling "Shaanxi" was contrived (following the romanization system of Yuen Ren Chao) for the province of Shǎnxī, while "Shanxi" is used for the province of Shānxī. It is also the official spelling on Chinese Government's official web portal.
 

这段资料中很明白的说明，为了和山西省在拼音上区分开，陕西省的官方拼音被指定为"Shaanxi"。因此陕西省人民政府新闻办公室发布会上的“SHAANXI”拼音是完全正确的，希望大家能记住这个特例，在以后陕西省的英文和拼音中使用正确的官方拼写方法。
