英语国家概况中文版-Chapter 23 Geography and History

第二十三章加拿大地理和历史Ⅰ.地理特点1.面积与所处位置加拿大是世界上仅次于俄国的第二大国家。

它的陆地面积大约为一千万平方公里(精确数字为9，976，186平方公里)。

它覆盖了近2/5的北美大陆。

从北到南，加拿大的辽阔领土几乎从北极绵延至北纬45°，约3200公里。

从东到西，它从大西洋延伸到太平洋，约6400公里。

加拿大位于美国以北。

但有一部分位于美国缅因州以东，还有一部分位于从布法罗到底特律的最近直线上，这部分的加拿大区域比布法罗和底特律还要靠南。

北纬45°线标出了加拿大同美国北部的佛蒙特和纽约的分界线。

然而，加拿大的大部分地区位于北纬49°以北。

加拿大和美国共有一条6738公里的边界线，这条边界线一百多年来从不设防，每天有成千的旅游者从这里通过。

加拿大拥有如此辽阔的领土，它的人口却只有二千九百万(1994)。

加拿大的大部分地区人口稀疏。

近89%的国土没有常住人口。

北部的许多地区杳无人烟，遍布森林或长年冰冻的北极荒地。

大约80%的加拿大人住在临近美国边界的大城市中，其中60%的人口集中在魁北克域和安大略湖的西端之间。

多伦多是加拿大最大的城市，有三百四十多万人。

蒙特利尔是第二大城市，人口为二百九十多万，第三大城市是温哥华，它有一百二十多万人。

大多数加拿大的城市都比这三个城市小得多。

加拿大有四大人口密集区：(1)大西洋沿岸的农业、矿业和渔业城市；(2)坐落在魁北克省和安大略省南部以制造业为主的大城市；(3)平原地区以小麦、养牛和采油业为主的城市；(4)不列颠哥伦比亚省的太平洋沿岸。

北纬55°以北的大部分地区主要居住着捕猎者、捕鱼者和采矿者。

著名的加拿大骑警是这些孤立的地区的法律和秩序的象征。

2.地形加拿大有着多种多样的地形。

在东部，那些多山的沿海省份在圣劳伦斯湾和大西洋有着一条不规则的海岸线。

圣劳伦斯平原和内陆平原是主要的耕作区。

它们被一个森林密布的高原分隔开，这一高原始于苏必利尔湖和休伦湖。

英语国家概况-课文-翻译

第一章国土与人民Ⅰ.英国的不同名称及其区域人们说到英国时常常使用不同的名称:不列颠、大不列颠、英格兰、不列颠群岛、联合王国等。

这些名称一样吗?还是有所区别?严格地讲，不列颠诸岛、大不列颠和英格兰都是地理名称。

它们并不是这个国家的正式名称。

不列颠诸岛是由两个大岛和几百个小岛组成的。

两个大岛是大不列颠岛和爱尔兰岛，其中大不列颠岛较大，它与爱尔兰岛的北部一北爱尔兰构成联合王国。

因此，联合王国的正式国名是大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国。

但一口气说出这么长的国名太费事，因此，人们就说不列颠，联合王国或简单地说UK。

这是不列颠岛上的一个国家，首都是伦敦。

另外还有一个国家，叫爱尔兰共和国或称爱尔兰，也位于不列颠岛上。

它占据了爱尔兰岛的其余部分，在岛的南部。

1949年始爱尔兰独立，首都是都柏林。

大不列颠岛上有三个政治区:英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士。

英格兰面积最大、人口最多，一般说来也最富裕。

因此人们常用英格兰指代英国，用英格兰人指代英国人。

这有时令苏格兰人和威尔士人不快，他们不认为自己是"英格兰人"，他们有自己的文化，甚至有自己的语言。

英国一直是世界上最重要的国家之一。

约一百年前，由于推行帝国主义扩张政策，英国成为一个帝国，这个帝国占有世界上四分之一的人口，四分之一的面积。

它不仅在北美，而且在亚洲、非洲和澳洲都有殖民地。

但是两次世界大战大大削弱了英国，英国殖民地接二连三独立，大英帝国逐渐消失，1931年由英联邦所取代。

英联邦是一个自由联合体，由曾经是英国殖民地变为现已独立的国家构成。

成员国之间实行经济合作，有一定的贸易协议。

英联邦没有特别的权力，是否参加英联邦由各成员国自己决定。

目前( 1991年) ，英联邦有50个成员国。

Ⅱ.英国的地理特征英国是个岛国，四周是海。

它位于欧洲北海岸附近的北大西洋中。

南面的英吉利海峡和东面的北海把英国与欧洲的其他部分隔开。

英法之间的英吉利海峡很狭窄，最狭窄的地方叫多佛尔海峡，只有33公里宽。
