All about Oceania. Did you know that there's a region in the Pacific Ocean that is made up of around 10,000 islands and 14 countries? Seriously, it is true! Today, we are going to learn more about this cool area of the world, which is called Oceania, and a little bit about its history too. Let's get started!

關於大洋洲的一切你知道太平洋上有一個由大約 10,000 個島嶼和 14 個國家組成的地區嗎？真的，這是真的！今天，我們將進一步瞭解這個很酷的地區--大洋洲，以及它的歷史。讓我們開始吧

程度副詞

But first, here is an interesting fact. Oceania covers around 20 million square miles, which is roughly one-third of the area of the entire Pacific Ocean. But the total land area of all the islands in the region is pretty small in comparison, only just under 3.3 million square miles. Historians believe that more than 30,000 years ago, humans migrated from

但首先，這裡有一個有趣的事實。大洋洲的面積約為 2000 萬平方英里，約佔整個太平洋麵積的三分之一。但相比之下，該地區所有島嶼的陸地總面積卻非常小，只有不到 330 萬平方英里。歷史學家認為，3 萬多年前，人類從

情態副詞

Asia to the islands located in Oceania. Most think that the first immigrants stopped on the island of New Guinea, and eventually traveled to the other islands in the area over time.

從亞洲到大洋洲的島嶼。大多數人認為，第一批移民在新幾內亞島停留，隨著時間的推移最終前往該地區的其他島嶼。

Even though the original settlers had a common culture, each island began to develop a culture unique to its specific region. Because of this migration, Oceania is one of the most culturally diverse areas on Earth. Oceania is also one of the most environmentally diverse and sensitive areas on the planet, and contains some of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world, including the Great Barrier Reef, which is vital to the Earth's climate.

儘管最初的定居者擁有共同的文化，但每個島嶼都開始發展其特定地區的獨特文化。由於這種遷移，大洋洲成為地球上文化最多樣化的地區之一。大洋洲也是地球上環境最多樣和最敏感的地區之一，擁有世界上最美麗的珊瑚礁，包括對地球氣候至關重要的大堡礁。

Here is an interesting fact. The Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef in the world.

這裡有一個有趣的事實。大堡礁是世界上最大的珊瑚礁。

Today, modern Oceania consists of 14 countries – Australia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands,

今天，現代大洋洲由澳洲、斐濟、基里巴斯、馬紹爾群島等 14 個國家組成、

Micronesia, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.

密克羅尼西亞、諾魯、紐西蘭、帕勞、巴巴新幾內亞、薩摩亞、所羅門群島、東加、吐瓦魯和瓦努阿圖。

Let's learn an interesting fact or two about each country.

讓我們瞭解一下每個國家的一兩件趣事。

This is probably not surprising, but Australia is the largest country in the region and has the largest population. The country of Fiji is actually made up of 332 islands, but only around one-third of those islands are inhabited. Most of Fiji's population lives on one of the two main islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Kiribati is the only country in the world that has islands spread across all four hemispheres. It is also one of the most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate change. The Marshall Islands are made up of islands and atolls, which are a special type of island. Atolls are formed by a ring-shaped coral reef encircling a lagoon. Beautiful, right? Another interesting fact about the Marshall Islands is that there are over 160 species of coral that surround the islands. Wow!

這也許並不奇怪，因為澳洲是該地區面積最大、人口最多的國家。斐濟實際上由 332 個島嶼組成，但其中只有約三分之一的島嶼有人居住。斐濟的大部分人口居住在兩個主要島嶼之一，即維提島和瓦努阿圖島。基里巴斯是世界上唯一一個島嶼遍佈四個半球的國家。基里巴斯也是最容易受到氣候變化影響的國家之一。馬紹爾群島由島嶼和環礁組成，環礁是一種特殊類型的島嶼。環礁由環形珊瑚礁環繞瀉湖形成。美麗吧？關於馬紹爾群島的另一個有趣的事實是，群島周圍有 160 多種珊瑚。哇

Micronesia is home to the world's only ancient city built on a coral reef. Scientists believe that this ancient city, called Nan Madol, was built between 1200 and 1500 CE. Micronesia is also home to the largest crabs in the world. Nauru is the smallest country in Oceania and the third-smallest country in the world after Vatican City and Monaco. It is only 8 square miles in area. That is smaller than most cities in the United States. The tallest mountain in Oceania is found in the country of New Zealand. This mountain is called Aoraki and is over 12,000 feet high. Almost half of all dolphin and whale species can also be found off the New Zealand coastline.

密克羅尼西亞擁有世界上唯一一座建在珊瑚礁上的古城。科學家認為，這座古城名為南馬多爾（Nan Madol），建於公元 1200 年至 1500 年之間。密克羅尼西亞還是世界上最大螃蟹的故鄉。諾魯是大洋洲最小的國家，也是世界上第三小的國家，僅次於梵蒂岡城和摩納哥。它的面積只有 8 平方英里。這比美國大多數城市還要小。大洋洲最高的山位於紐西蘭。這座山名叫奧拉基（Aoraki），高度超過 12000 英尺。幾乎一半的海豚和鯨魚物種都可以在紐西蘭海岸線附近找到。

Palau has the fourth-smallest population in the world. Its traditional society is set up as a matriarchy, meaning that women are considered the heads of their families and the primary decision-makers. Here is another interesting fact about Palau. There is a lake on one of the country's islands that is filled with non-poisonous jellyfish. Now that would be quite the swim!

帕勞是世界上人口第四少的國家。帕勞的傳統社會是母權制社會，即婦女被視為一家之主和主要決策者。這裡還有一個關於帕勞的有趣事實。在帕勞的一個島嶼上有一個湖，湖裡滿是無毒的水母。這可真是個游泳的好地方！

Papua New Guinea or PNG is located on the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. This means that the country experiences regular volcano eruptions, earthquakes, and sometimes even tsunamis. PNG shares the island of New Guinea with the country of Indonesia. Samoa is part of a group of islands called Polynesia, which is located halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand, and used to be considered part of New Zealand. Samoa gained its independence from New Zealand in 1962. It is also home to many waterfalls and some volcanoes too. Solomon Islands are home to the world's largest raised coral atoll. This atoll is located on East Rinell Island, which is also home to Lake

巴巴新幾內亞或巴新位於太平洋的火環上。這意味著該國經常發生火山爆發、地震，有時甚至會發生海嘯。巴巴新幾內亞與印度尼西亞共享新幾內亞島。薩摩亞是波利尼西亞群島的一部分，位於夏威夷和紐西蘭之間，過去曾被視為紐西蘭的一部分。薩摩亞於 1962 年脫離紐西蘭獨立。薩摩亞是世界上最美麗的島嶼之一，也是許多瀑布和一些火山的發源地。所羅門群島擁有世界上最大的凸起珊瑚環礁。該環礁位於東林內爾島（East Rinell Island），該島也是所羅門湖（Lake Solomon Island）的所在地。

Tagano, the largest lagoon in the Pacific Ocean. Tonga is the last of the Pacific Island countries to use a constitutional monarchy as its form of government. Here is another interesting fact about

塔加諾，太平洋上最大的瀉湖。東加是太平洋島國中最後一個實行君主立憲制的國家。以下是有關東加的另一個有趣事實

Tonga. Sundays are considered a day of rest. No businesses are open and no sports activities are permitted on Sundays. The main source of income for most people in the country of Tuvalu is fishing. There is also an area surrounding the country called the Funafuti Marine Conservation

東加週日被視為休息日。週日不營業，也不允許進行體育活動。吐瓦魯大多數人的主要收入來源是捕魚。吐瓦魯周邊還有一個名為富納富提海洋保護區（Funafuti Marine Conservation）的區域。

Area that protects marine and plant species that live in the coral reefs and ocean.

保護生活在珊瑚礁和海洋中的海洋和植物物種的區域。

Last but not least is Vanuatu, which is known for its dense rainforests. Vanuatu is home to a bat species called the flying fox, which is important for pollinating trees in the rainforest. These bats are huge and can have a wingspan of around 6 feet. Wow! That is a lot of cool facts about a lot of unique countries. Thanks for exploring with us today, friends! Take a minute and think about some of the new interesting facts you have learned about this special area of the world.

最後但並非最不重要的是瓦努阿圖，它以茂密的熱帶雨林而聞名。瓦努阿圖是一種名為飛狐的蝙蝠的故鄉，這種蝙蝠對雨林中的樹木授粉非常重要。這些蝙蝠體型巨大，翼展可達 6 英尺左右。哇這就是許多獨特國家的酷知識。朋友們，感謝你們今天和我們一起探索！請花一分鐘時間思考一下您所瞭解到的關於世界上這一特殊地區的一些新的有趣事實。
