新西兰英文简介

新西兰英文简介

新西兰英文简介New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The countrygeographically comprises two main landmasses ? that of the Northand SouthIslands ? and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand issituated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of thePacific island nations of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans.Polynesians settled New Zealand in 1250–1300 CE and developed a distinctive Māoriculture, and Europeans first made contact in 1642 CE. The introduction of potatoes and muskets triggered upheaval among Māori early during the 19th century, which ledto the inter-tribal Musket War s. In 1840 the British and Māori signed a treatymakingNew Zealand a colony of the British Empire. Immigrant numbers increased sharply and conflicts escalated into the New Zealand Wars, which resulted in much Māoriland being confiscatedin the mid North Island. Economic depressions were followed by periods of political reform, with women gaining the vote during the 1890s, and a welfare state being established from the 1930s. After World War II, New Zealand joined Australia and the UnitedStates in the ANZUS security treaty, although the United States later, until 2010, suspended the treaty after New Zealand banned nuclear weapons. New Zealand is part of the intelligence sharing among the Anglosphere countries, the UKUSA Agreement. New Zealanders enjoyed one of thehighest standards of living in the world in the 1950s, but the 1970s saw a deep recession, worsened by oil shocks and the United Kingdom's entry into the European Economic Community. The country underwent major economic changes during the 1980s, which transformed it from a protectionist to a liberalised free tradeeconomy. Markets for New Zealand's agricultural exports have diversified greatly since the 1970s, with once-dominant exports of wool being overtaken by dairy products, meat, and recently wine.During its long isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. Most notable are the large number of unique bird species, many of which became extinct after the arrival of humans and introduced mammals. With a mild maritime climate, the land was mostly covered in forest. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions caused by the Pacific and Indo-Australian Plates clashing beneath the earth's surface.The majority of New Zealand's population is of European descent; the indigenous Māori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and non-Māori Polynesians.English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language are the official languages, with English predominant. Much of New Zealand's culture is derived from Māori and earlyBritish settlers. Early European art was dominated by landscapes and to a lesser extent portraits of Māori. A recent resurgence of Māori culture has seen their traditional arts of carving, weaving andtattooing become more mainstream. Many artists now combine Māori and Western techniques to create unique art forms. The country's culture has also been broadened by globalisation and increased immigration from the Pacific Islands and Asia. New Zealand's diverse landscape provides manyopportunities for outdoor pursuits and has provided the backdrop for a number of bigbudget movies.。

The national flag of New Zealand is a defaced Blue Ensign with the Union Flag in the canton, and four red stars with white borders to the right. The stars represent the constellation of Crux, the Southern Cross. Each star varies slightly in size. The Union Flag in the canton recalls New Zealand’s colonial ties to Britain. The current flag was designed and adopted for restricted use in 1869 and became the national flag in 1902.

NewZealand新西兰的英文原创简介

NewZealand新西兰的英文原创简介New ZealandIn the southwest Pacific Ocean, there is a country dotted with white clouds. It’s the 100% pure New Zealand. New Zealand is a large, long group of islands, 1600 kilometers from north to south. It is made up of two main landmasses, the North Island and the South Island, and numerous smaller island, most notably Stewart Island. A huge diversity of physical geography has produced a wide variation in landscape. In New Zealand, you can see beautiful scenery whenever you go. It’s a place for the production of mov ies such as The Lord of the Rings. It’s really a great place to enjoy the beauty of nature.The north Island has been formed mostly by volcanoes and some of them are still active. Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand, and its city skyline is dominated by cones of extinct volcanoes. In the Maori, Auckland means “pure girl and one hundred valentines”. Auckland Harbor Bridge connects the north and south parts of the city together into a whole. The shape of the bridge likes a hanger, and it is single span with a length of 1079 meters and eight parallel lanes. The Waitmo Cave is a famous tourist destination in the world, known as the “ninth wonder of the world”.In the central North Island, a spectacular cluster of four active volcanoes is crowned by 2797m Ruapehu, home of the island’s major ski fields. The steam vents, hot pools, bubbling mud and geysers of the famous thermal region stretch northeast to the coast and to White Island in the Bay of Plenty. Rotarua is the center of culture of New Zealand. You can enjoy the hot springs and go to the Maori Village to feel the Maori culture. Wellington,the capital of New Zealand, is situated at the southwestern tip of the North Island between Cook Strait and the Rimutaka Range. Wellington is the southernmost capital city and also the most remote capital city in the world. It is a famous tourist destination in the South Pacific and its café culture is prominent. The city has more cafés per capita than New York City. So if you are fond of coffee, don’t miss it.A massive mountain chain, the Southern Alps, runs almost the full length of the South Island. This is an area of outstanding scenic beauty, with the Marlborough Sounds in the north, many beautiful lakes and rivers, and Fiordland with its remote, deeply-cut inlets in the southwest.Queenstown, the most famous tourist attractions in the South Island, is surrounded by south of the Alps. Its nature beauty changes with the seasons, the lake gleams in the summer sun, and snow covers mountains above the township in winter. Nestled in beside the mysterious Lake Wakatipu, in the southern Lakes district of New Zealand, Queenstown is a cosmopolitan haven, offering a limitless adventure, southern wine and cuisine, and breathtaking alpine scenery. Along the Lake Wakatipu, there are many romantic café, when beacon lights reflected in the lake, people can’t help rising and dancing in a happy mood with the gently flowing music, and then you’ll find out that Queenstown can be romantic. Queenstown is a town with torrent, fjords, mountains and other adventures environment. It’s the birthplace of the bungee jumping. Enjoying the impact of the gravity acceleration in beautiful scenery absolutely makes you lead a person to endless aftertastes. Christchurch is in the South Island on th e east, also known as “garden city”, because of plenty of beautiful flowers in the city. Classical architecture ofRenaissance type has been a symbol of the city. You can overlook the city in a hot air balloon, and appreciate the beauty in a special way. And there is also a special festival, the Hot Balloon Festival, which is held in the end of March every year.Having been separated from other land for millions of years, the islands of New Zealand have their unique flora and fauna. A large number of native birds and plants, insects, spiders and snails,as well as all native earth worms, are found only in New Zealand. Kiwi is the national bird and it’s the only bird without wings. The word kiwi should be remembered for it is the name of the bird from which New Zealanders have adopted their name. In colloquial English, the Kiwi, capitalized, means a New Zealander. The tuatara is the most interesting, being the only surviving species of a reptile family which otherwise became extinct 100 million years ago.And when traveling in New Zealand, you should know some etiquette of meeting. New Zealanders always meet the guests by shaking hands in a social situation. When they meet a woman, they need to wait the woman reaches out her hand first. Maori use their nose to touch guest’s nose when they meet guests. It’s called “Hongi” and it’s the highest honor to the guests. New Zealanders are hospitable. They have a traditional of respecting elders. When you come here, Maoris use songs and dances to welcome visitors. They regard water as pure and holy things, so they sprinkle water to visitors. This is a symbol of blessing. And they don’t accept tips.The indigenous Maori name for New Zealand is Aotearoa, commonly translated as land of the long white cloud. Come to the pure world to find the peace of your mind.。

《英语国家概况》- Chapter 34 New Zealand Today

《英语国家概况》- Chapter 34 New Zealand Today

第三十四章今日新西兰新西兰的人口为350万。

大约10%的人为毛利人或有部分毛利血统的人。

尽管新西兰依赖农业,但大多数人还是居住在城镇和城市里。

大约55%的人住在七个大城市中:奥克兰、惠灵顿、克赖斯特彻奇、达尼丁、汉密尔顿,北帕默斯顿和纳皮尔--哈斯廷斯。

四个主要城市的人口分别为:奥克兰,890,000;惠灵顿,330,000;克赖斯特彻奇,31,000,达尼丁110,000。

几乎3/4的人住在北岛,50%的新西兰人住在汉密尔顿以北。

造成这种人口分布不均的主要原因是由于北部的温和气候,北岛工业的发展及北部适合于特殊耕作的土地。

Ⅰ.政治体系新西兰没有任何单独的成文宪法。

宪法往往被包含于大量的议会法规,法院判决及政府常规之中。

新西兰是个独立主权国,有议会政府和君主立宪制。

伊丽莎白二世既是新西兰女王,也是英国女王,女王在新西兰由总督全权代表,总督是新西兰人。

现任总督为一名叫戴姆·凯丝·蒂扎德的女士。

总督几乎没有什么实权,但在政权交替时可以确保政权的连续性,而且作为君主的代表,在国家事务中也起重要作用。

1.议会新西兰沿袭了英国的议会制,只作了某些变化。

自1950年以来,新西兰的议会只有一个议院,即众议院。

新西兰没有和英国上议院一样的院。

自1936 年以来,议会的辩论一直通过国家广播电台广播。

自1879年,全国大选大约每三年举行一次。

对于某些问题可能会举行全国公民投票,这时公民要对一个具体问题而不是一个党派进行投票表决。

在1994年曾经举行过一次关于投票制度的全民公决。

根据这次全民公决的结果,新西兰将采用比例代表制,这种体制可能会导致议会中党派数目的增多。

在过去的五十年里,新西兰只有五大主要政党,分别为国民党和工党。

几乎每一位常住居民都可以投票。

自1974年以来,开始拥有选举权的年龄一直是18岁。

新西兰是第一批采用秘密投票方式的国家之一,平均90%的选民在大选中投票。

2.行政部门在众议院中拥有多数议员的政党领导人成为首相。
