Tips

culture
El Paso, Texas, sits on the Rio Grande directly across from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico — together they form the largest binational metro area on the US-Mexico border. The Spanish name means "the pass" (the mountain pass between the Franklin and Juárez ranges). Often written without the dot as 埃尔.
memory
埃尔 (Āi'ěr) for "El" is the standard Spanish-article transliteration (compare 埃尔多拉 "El Dorado," 埃尔 "Hernández"). (Pàsuǒ) renders "Paso" — same used in 帕里斯 (Paris/Park-style names).
