上海市XX中学(原XX中学)
这个"原"怎样才翻的地道啊?用original还是former,怎么用?谢谢

两个都可以的...

应该翻作：formerly known as
例：
Taiwan, formerly known as Formosa
Taiwan，原名Formosa

不应该用former。
比较：
A is the former B的意思是B(头衔，职位)原来是A。
而
A is formerly known as B的意思是A原来的名字(称号，等等)是B。

我觉得是former, 如原国家主席是former president.

former is xx

Former XX中学

绝对是former
