Titolo: Traduzione (facile)

Devo tradurre in inglese il seguente titolo: "Matrice delle distanze tra
città"
E' corretto: "Matrix of the distances between towns?"
o è meglio: "Matrix of the distances between cities?"
o è meglio qualcos'altro? E' molto importante perché è proprio il titolo!
Grazie 1000!

 Town si usa per una città più piccola, city per una più grande... devi
vedere tu quale ha più senso!
Comunque io userei l'espressione "distance matrix".

Dipende. O 'town' o 'city' è una traduzione valida di 'città'.
Nel UK, 'city' indica una città accordata quello stato dalla
corona, ma in generale 'city' vuol dire una grande città.
