91.列舉一個美國領(lǐng)地的名字。
Answer: Puerto Rico; U.S. Virgin Islands; American Samoa; Northern Mariana Islands; Guam
答案：波多黎各；美屬維爾京群島；美屬薩摩亞群島；北馬里亞那群島；關(guān)島
Explanation: When most people think of the United States, they think about the 50 states, but they often forget that other parts of the world are part of the United States, too.
解釋：當(dāng)大多數(shù)人想起美國時，他們想到的是那個擁有50個州的美國，而他們常常忘記了世界的其他地區(qū)也屬于美國。
A U.S. territory is an area of land that belongs to the U.S. government but is not a state or the country's capital, Washington, DC.
美國的領(lǐng)地是屬于美國政府的土地，但不是一個州或該國的首都華盛頓。
Right now there are five U.S. territories: Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam.
美國現(xiàn)在有五個領(lǐng)地：波多黎各、美屬維爾京群島、美屬薩摩亞群島、北馬里亞那群島和關(guān)島。
Three of these territories — Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands — are islands in the Pacific Ocean.
這些領(lǐng)地中的三個——關(guān)島、美屬薩摩亞群島和北馬里亞那群島——位于太平洋。
The other two territories — Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands — are islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
另外兩個領(lǐng)地——波多黎各和美屬維爾京群島——位于大西洋。
Those territories are unincorporated, which means that the land belongs to the United States, but only certain parts of the U.S. Constitution (or the country's most important legal document) are applied to those territories.
這些領(lǐng)地是未整合的，也就是說這些土地屬于美國，但只有某些條款的美國憲法（或該國最重要的法律文件）適用于這些領(lǐng)地。
The territories have to follow some parts of the Constitution, but they do not have to follow all of it.
這些領(lǐng)地得遵守憲法的部分條款，但它們不必遵守憲法的一切。
Let's take a look at what this means for one territory, Puerto Rico.
下面來看一看這對波多黎各這個領(lǐng)地意味著什么。
