90.什么洋位于美國(guó)的東海岸?
Answer: Atlantic (Ocean)
答案:大西(洋)
Explanation: The east coast of the United States, or the part of the United States that touches the Atlantic Ocean, is also called the Eastern Seaboard or the Atlantic Seaboard.
解釋?zhuān)?/strong>美國(guó)的東海岸,或美國(guó)與大西洋相連的部分,也被稱(chēng)為東部沿海地區(qū)或大西洋沿海地區(qū)。
The Eastern Seaboard is the place where the United States began.
東部沿海地區(qū)是美國(guó)的誕生地。
When Europeans crossed the Atlantic Ocean, they settled (or built homes and began to live) on the east coast.
當(dāng)歐洲人橫渡大西洋后,他們?cè)跂|海岸定居(或建造家園并開(kāi)始生活)了下來(lái)。
Over time, many of the settlements (or new places where they built homes and lived) grew, becoming some of the large cities that are still on the Eastern Seaboard today.
久而久之,許多定居點(diǎn)(或他們建造家園和生活的新地方)擴(kuò)大了,成為一些至今仍在東部沿海地區(qū)的大城市。
Other settlements failed when the people living there died or moved to other places.
當(dāng)生活在其他定居點(diǎn)的人死亡或搬到其他地方時(shí),這樣的定居點(diǎn)就消亡了。
But one settlement is different because nobody knows what happened to it.
但是其中一個(gè)定居點(diǎn)卻不一樣,因?yàn)闆](méi)有人知道它出了什么事。
This was the famous settlement called the Roanoke Colony; a colony is an area of land that belongs to a country (in this case, England), but is far away from it.
它就是名叫羅阿諾克殖民地的著名定居點(diǎn);殖民地是屬于一個(gè)國(guó)家(在這里是英國(guó)),但距離這個(gè)國(guó)家很遠(yuǎn)的土地。
An Englishman named Walter Raleigh wanted to establish (or create) the first English colony in North America on Roanoke Island, which is now part of North Carolina. Two groups of people tried to live there, but they failed.
一位名叫沃爾特·雷利的英國(guó)人想要在北美洲的羅阿諾克島上建立(或創(chuàng)立)第一個(gè)英國(guó)殖民地,該島現(xiàn)在屬于北卡羅來(lái)納州。兩群人試圖在那里生活,但他們都失敗了。
