Australia
An island country, a whole continent, Australia has aremarkably cohesive personality and one which,much to our surprise, is markedly foreign. It is nolonger the infant colony, peopled by Britishconvicts2 and pioneers, but a maturing, perhaps stillsomewhat adolescent individual, ruggedly steering avital new course in life.
Australia is a sprawl of rock and desert, fringed with lush valleys, snow fields, coralspectaculars, storm-stabbed cliffs and rolling beaches, a land rich in minerals, colors, curiousflora 3, 230 species of mammals4 , 700 of birds, 400 of reptiles, 70 of amphibia, 2, 200 of fishand 50 , 000 species of insects — and seemingly infinite space . Australia is becoming therichest country in the world, materially.
Total area of the continent is about half as big as Europe, or 25 times the size of Britain andIreland. Population is bunched mainly in coastal cities, the biggest of which are capitals of thecountry’s states and the federal capital Canberra5 . Canberra is a model of a planned gardencity and is the seat of a major university. It is smallish in size , but big in importance. Sydney isthe largest city, and commercial capital of the country.
Throughout the country, the basic accommodation unit is the motel, a flat prefabricated6sprawl of bedrooms. But prices are reasonable and, most important, the rooms are excellentand equipped usually with air-conditioning, a refrigerator and tea and coffee making facilities.Bath tubs are rare, as Australians prefer the convenience and hygiene of a shower. Porterageand other services are rare , as Australians don’t like doing a job which smacks of7 servility.After all, this is the land of equality and opportunity.

參考翻譯
澳大利亞是一個(gè)島國, 但同時(shí)也是一個(gè)完整的大陸, 它具有突出一貫的個(gè)性。令人奇 怪的是, 這種性格同我們顯然不同。澳大利亞已不再是住著英國罪犯和拓荒者的新開辟的 殖民地了, 而是一個(gè)沿著嶄新的生活道路艱難前進(jìn)的、不斷成熟的、也許仍然比較年輕的 國家。
澳大利亞到處都是巖石和沙漠, 分布毫無規(guī)則, 但四周有青蔥的山谷, 披著白雪的原 野, 形形色色的珊瑚礁, 風(fēng)雨侵蝕的懸崖絕壁和浪花片片的海灘。這片土地富于礦藏, 色彩 斑斕, 擁有各種奇花異草。在這似乎無邊無際的大地上有230 種哺乳動(dòng)物, 700 種鳥類, 400 種爬行動(dòng)物, 70 種兩棲動(dòng)物, 2200 種魚類和5 萬種昆蟲。就物質(zhì)條件來講, 澳大利亞正在 變成世界上最富饒的國家。
這片大陸的面積約等于半個(gè)歐洲, 或者25 倍于英國和愛爾蘭的總面積。人口主要聚 集在沿海城市, 其中最大的是澳大利亞各州首府和聯(lián)邦首府堪培拉�？芭嗬且粋�(gè)典型的 有計(jì)劃性的公園城市, 國內(nèi)一所主要的大學(xué)也在這里。這座城市面積有點(diǎn)小, 但政治上很 重要。悉尼是全國最大的城市, 也是澳大利亞的商業(yè)中心。
澳大利亞的基本旅館住所是汽車旅館, 里邊的臥室是成套的預(yù)先設(shè)制好房間, 這種汽 車旅館幾乎布滿全國。房租并不貴, 最重要的是房內(nèi)陳設(shè)漂亮, 通常有空調(diào)、冰箱和烹茶煮 咖啡的設(shè)備。澳大利亞人喜歡既方便又衛(wèi)生的淋浴, 因此很少用浴盆。搬運(yùn)業(yè)和其他服務(wù) 業(yè)也很少, 因?yàn)榘拇罄麃喨瞬幌矚g做帶有奴顏婢膝感覺的工作。畢竟這是一個(gè)平等的充滿 機(jī)遇的國家。
