2、加拿大的英文介绍

Native people lived in what is now Canada for thousands of years before the first Europeans arrived. They are known as the First Nations and the Inuit people. The Métis have part First Nations and part European backgrounds.

The Vikings were the first Europeans known to land in Canada, in what is now Newfoundland. They did not stay there long, however. In the early 16th century, Europeans started exploring Canada's eastern coast, beginning with John Cabot from England in 1497, and later Jacques Cartier in 1534 from France. Alexander Mackenzie later reached the Pacific coast over land, where captains James Cook and George Vancouver went by sea.

Parts of Canada were settled by France, and parts by England and Scotland. The French usually had permission from the native peoples to live in their country. In 1605, Port Royal was built in Acadia (today called Nova Scotia) by the French, led by Samuel de Champlain, and in 1608 he started settling Quebec. The British took control of the French areas after a battle on the Plains of Abraham near Quebec City in 1759.

After the American Revolutionary War, many people in the new United States wanted to stay loyal to Britain. Thousands came north to Canada and settled in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, and Ontario. They were called United Empire Loyalists. During the War of 1812, the United States tried to conquer Canada a few times but were defeated each time.

On July 1, 1867, Canada was united under a federal government. It included the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. Sir John A. MacDonald was the first prime minister. Manitoba, the Yukon territory, and the Northwest Territories became part of Canada in 1870. British Columbia joined in 1871, and Prince Edward Island in 1873.

There were two Red River Rebellions, in 1869-70 and 1885, both led by Louis Riel. He fought for more rights for the Métis people. A railroad across the country, finished in 1885, made it easier for Canadians to move to the west. Many Europeans came to the prairies, so that Alberta and Saskatchewan became provinces in 1905.

Canadian soldiers fought in World War I, because they were still part of the British Empire. More Canadians died in this war than any other war. Canada became better known as a country after its success in capturing Vimy Ridge from the Germans in France in 1917. Women were given the right to vote by the end of the war, partly because of the help they gave making weapons while the men fought in Europe. In 1931, Canada became fully independent. From 1931 on the Government of Canada made all decisions about Canada.

Canadians also fought in World War II. The Dieppe Raid in 1942 went very badly and most of the soldiers were killed, wounded, or taken prisoner. Canadians were important in 1944 at Normandy, and they liberated the Netherlands (freed it from the Germans).

In 1949, Newfoundland and Labrador became the 10th province of Canada. In 1956, Canadian Lester Pearson, who later became prime minister, helped end the Suez Crisis. As a result, he won the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1965, Pearson helped Canada get a new flag, the Maple Leaf. Before that, Canadians had used the Red Ensign. In 1982, Canada changed its constitution, including a new Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The main part of the Constitution is still the 1867 British North America Act.

Many French Canadians today wish to form their own country, separate from the rest of Canada. The province of Quebec held a referenm (vote) in 1980, but only about 40% wanted to separate. Another referenm was held in 1995, with almost 50% voting in favor of leaving Canada.

Today, about 25% of Canadians speak French as their first language. Many people can speak both French and English. Although most French Canadians live in the province of Quebec, there are French-speaking communities and people all across Canada. For example, 40% of the people in the province of New Brunswick and 20% of those in Manitoba have a strong French background, as do some people in Ontario, mainly along its border with Quebec.

In 1999, Nunavut was created as Canada's third territory, out of the eastern Northwest Territories, in an agreement with the Inuit people.

3、加拿大的介绍（英文+译文）

Canada is the second largest country in the world. It is larger than the USA and reaches nearly a quarter of the way round the earth. The distance from east to west is over 5,500 kilometres and the country covers six of the world's 24 time areas.
加拿大是世界上占地面积第2的国家。面积比美国大，并且领土的延伸接近地球赤道的4分之1。从东部到南部的距离超过5500千米。并且加拿大覆盖了世界上24个时区中的6个。

The population of Canada is about 29 million and the capital is Ottawa. There are two official languages, French and English. The first travellers arrived from England in 1497. Settlers from France reached Canada in 1534. For two centuries English and French settlers struggled against each other to control the country. Today, one province of Canada is French-speaking. The TV and radio programmes there are in French. There are French restaurants, and all the teaching in schools is done in French.
加拿大的人口总数约为2900万，首都为渥太华。其官方语言有2种，法语和英语。1497年，从英格兰来的首批移居者（拓荒者）来到了这儿，1534年，从法国来的移居者也到达此地。这来自两个国家的移居者为了成为这块土地的主宰者而互相征战。今天，加拿大有一个说发语的省，电视和收音机里节目都是用法语播放的。这儿有法国参观，所有的学校的教学都采用法语进行。

Canada has one third of the world's supply of fresh water. There are five great lakes in the south, and there are many others, especially in the north. Most of the electricity is proced by water. The country has a great deal of coal, oil and natural gas, and these are all exploited for energy.
加拿大拥有世界淡水资源的3分之1。在加拿大的南面有5大名湖。
并且在其他地方，尤其是在北部，还有许多湖。加拿大主要是考水力发电。它拥有大量的煤，石油，天然气资源。这些都是完全可以作为能源来利用开发。

4、介绍加拿大历史的文章(中英文对照)

当代加拿大女作家玛格丽特·阿特伍德的文学作品《盲刺客》,以蔡斯家族史见证加拿大自独立以来的历史.阿特伍德在这个历史书写过程中,一方面描写了加拿大民族性格中的受害性特点,另一方面旗帜鲜明地表达了反美立场.这部小说还体现出阿特伍德对于历史书写的独特创作理念——“左手书写”,即非正统的、女性的、带有后现代和意识流色彩的书写方式,以此可以看出阿特伍德独特的历史现:历史并不仅仅是对过去的记录,更是过去的存在方式.

《身着狮皮》描述了加拿大那些没有盎格鲁-凯尔特或法兰西血统的移民生活,展示的是一段迄今为止未被官方书写的历史.作家借鉴意大利画家卡拉瓦乔的"暗色调主义"的创作手法,光与影的对照成为小说叙事中最明显的一个特点,有力地表现了作品的主题,以文学形式对加拿大历史进行了重写.

加拿大基本上算是一个四季分明的国家。每一个季节，都有丰富多采的活动和娱乐。

春天来临，残雪未融，正是制做枫糖的好时机。红了一秋的枫树，并不仅仅限于观赏。许多枫树可以用来采集树汁，熬制枫糖浆（MAPLE
SYRUP）。枫糖浆营养丰富，甜香可口，据说是北美印地安人的传统食品。印地安人的祖先将枫汁称为“甜水”，他们将枫汁和鹿肉一起煮食，强身健体，延年益寿。驱车到郊外的农庄，可以乘马拉雪橇穿行在枫林之间。坐在雪橇高高的草垛上，看一只只挂在树干上接枫糖浆的桶，很象漆树在“割漆”。事实上，枫树的糖份在秋天便开始在树干内聚集，冬天浓缩，初春则流到树皮下面。这时割开树皮，自然就会流出枫汁。枫汁的采集期大约要持续一个半月。跑到桶前看一看，枫汁原来就象清水。起初的枫汁含糖量较高，约为百分之二点五，到后来就降低到百分之一。过了采集期则干脆没有糖份了。每一百升枫汁大约最多可以熬制二点六升纯枫糖。一般的农庄自然不会达到这么高的提炼指标。但现在崇尚绿色食品，手工熬制的枫糖更受欢迎。现场熬出的枫糖，有一种吃法象我们熟悉的棒棒糖，叫“白雪太妃”。冷却的方式很奇特，是在洁净的白雪堆里滚几下。不由让人联想到《红楼梦》里妙玉煮茶用的采自梅花上的白雪。盛产枫糖的安大略、魁北克、新斯科夏和新布伦瑞克四个省，每年春天都会举行枫林盛会（Sugarbush
Party）。国内外观光的旅客和本地居民纷纷涌向郊外的农庄，既饱眼福，也饱口福。与国内不同的是，加拿大的春天气候反复较大。往往是春雨连绵，路上的行人已经裙裾翩翩，却又忽然下起大雪重新银装素裹。于是，收起的冬装又得翻出来穿在身上。

夏天是加拿大人盼望已久的日子。几个长周末（Long
Weekend）可以一次连续休息四天。再加上每年的有薪假期，这时候的加拿大人多半不会呆在家里，去欧洲、夏威夷、地中海，再不济也要到温哥华的海滩上躺一躺。有钱人存在船坞的船也开动起来，沿着事先规划的航线，在北美的五大湖上游弋。街道上行驶着音乐震天响的汽车，有时还会有狗的脑袋伸出后窗。高速公路上，顶着小船的汽车、拉着野营车的汽车穿梭不停。加拿大湖泊河流众多，自然资源保护的也好。夏天来临的时候，湖区旅游景点的旅馆就会在各种媒体做广告。在那里，你可以游泳、划船、捉鱼、漂流、蹦极。你也可以开去自己的野营车，或者干脆带着帐篷和睡袋。野营一般都有固定的地点。这些固定的野营地提供电源、水源和卫生设备。如果你愿意，你当然也可以深入到渺无人烟的原始森林。最近一位加拿大华裔女作家夏悲写了一部长篇小说《原始森林里的情人》，就描述了原始森林的一些景象。宁静的湖、夜色里游向岸边的麋鹿群、人与风的对话、大火和飓风。夏天的另一项活动是打高尔夫。高尔夫在国内至今仍然是贵族运动。但是在加拿大，高尔夫该算是一项消费得起的运动。在加拿大，钓鱼执照很容易领取。加拿大人普遍认为邻近湖里河里的鱼是有污染的，所以他们钓鱼多是纯粹为了娱乐。钓上鱼以后，会立刻放回水里。中国人则不很在乎那些污染，钓到好鱼便拎回家去，省了再去买菜。

另外，国会山（议会大厦）在夏秋季节会免费向公众开放。皇家骑警的换岗仪式也在这段时间举行。每年的七月一日是加拿大的国庆日，换岗仪式最为隆重。加拿大的总理通常会在这一天在国会山前向全国人民发表讲话。

秋天是加拿大最漂亮的季节。天高云淡之时，真是满目红叶收不尽。其实放眼望去，树叶并不都是一样的红。紫红的、深红的、火红的、桔黄的、明黄的、深绿浅绿的，交织在一起，蔚为壮观。枫叶是加拿大的象征。枫叶旗是加拿大的国旗。说起枫叶旗，还有一段很长的历史故事。加拿大曾经是英国的殖民地，那时加拿大的国旗不是枫叶旗，而是叫作CANADIAN
RED
ENSIGN.旗上有英国的米字旗，非常象现在的安大略省和马尼托巴省的省旗。1925年首次有人提出加拿大应该设计自己的国旗，但当时加拿大国内的亲英情绪极其强烈，这个提议立即就被否决了。第二次世界大战以后，加拿大人民的民族独立意识日益高涨。于是又有人提出设计新国旗的建议。加拿大议会终于在1946年通过设计新国旗的决议。于是，各式各样的设计蜂拥而出，前前后后竟有一千五百多种设计图案！结果搞得大家眼花缭乱，不知道该选择哪一个为好。议会十八年内做不出决定。1964年，皮尔逊政府选出其中得票最多的图案。图案为白底，中间有三片红色的枫叶，左右各为一道蓝边，代表加拿大国徽上的箴言“从海洋到海洋”。加拿大是一个连接大西洋和太平洋的国家，并引以为荣。许多大公司提起他们全国性的服务网点，也总是说COAST
TO
COAST.这个方案依然通不过议会。仍然有人嫌图案复杂，并把这一款国旗设计方案戏称为“皮尔逊彩旗”。后来经过各方激烈辩论，最终确定了现在的红白色枫叶旗。新国旗白底，左右各有一条宽宽的红边，中间是一片大大的红色枫叶。图案简洁，色彩明亮，美观大方，人见人爱。1965年2月15日，新国旗第一次在渥太华国会山前升起，举国欢呼。这一天就成了加拿大的国旗日，枫叶也从此成为加拿大的国家象征。从1946年到1965年，近二十年的民主讨论，终于有了一个令人满意的结果。在国会山上空飘扬的加拿大国旗，每天都要换一面崭新的旗帜。这个事实是在1998年的一天升上去一面缝制错误的国旗以后，被报界披露的。夏秋季节，国际焰火节会在一些大城市延续数月之久。在渥太华的国会山后面，在蒙特利尔老城港口附近，每逢周末的夜晚，人们就聚集起来，欣赏某一个国家独具风采的焰火表演。秋天的活动主要是看红叶和烧烤。在首都渥太华，总督府是一个看红叶、拍照片的好地方。假如想看层林尽染、万山红遍的景象，可以从渥太华驱车北行一小时，到魁北克的GATINEAU
PARK登高远望。烧烤和野餐依然是秋游的主要项目。湖水渐凉，不能再去游泳和钓鱼。不过室内的游泳馆健身房很多。许多都是属于社区服务性质，收费很低。

冬天是加拿大人骄傲的季节。加拿大的冰球始终处于世界一流水平。溜冰、滑雪，这里几乎人人都会。对于冰雪的热爱使加拿大人将旱冰鞋自然而然地当成了一种交通工具。春季到冬季这一段时间，穿旱冰鞋上班上学的人比比皆是，从十几岁的孩子到人到中年的男女，滑行熟练而轻松。加拿大的冬天是漫长的，往往从11月就开始下雪，到次年4月甚至5月才冰雪消融。在长达半年的寒冷日子里常常是冰雪交加，一夜之间可降雪两三英尺厚。不过，加拿大的住房、办公楼、汽车（包括公共汽车）、商店等公共场所都有暖气设备，不做户外活动，根本不需要穿很厚的衣服。加拿大人的习惯是穿羽绒服和一条单裤。加拿大冬天会在道路上撒盐或砂子，再加上铲雪车及时出动，所以落到道路上的雪基本集不起来。但被雪车推到路边的“雪岸”有时可达一米多高，行人就象走在战壕里一样。加拿大的雪黏度很小，不容易攥成雪球，更不容易堆起雪人，小孩子们也就少了一样乐趣。不过，每逢大雪，公园的小山包上就挤满了孩子，他们坐着各式各样的雪车、雪板从山坡上一路飞滑下去。有考究的竹板雪撬，也有大锅盖一样的塑料板。加拿大每年冬天都举办冬令节（WINTERLOOD），世界各地的冰雕雪雕高手将他们得意的作品汇集一堂。加拿大的冰雕一般没有哈尔滨的大，也没有哈尔滨的多。但制作十分精致，尤其是通体晶莹剔透，让人看了赏心悦目。反观国内的冰雕艺术节，由于污染严重，作品通常摆不了几天就变得灰蒙蒙了。渥太华有一条贯穿市中心的丽都运河，运河上的冰场是世界上最长的冰场。从国会山前的艺术中心直到卡尔顿大学，全长7.8公里。冰场每隔一公里左右就有一个温暖的亭子，供滑冰的人更衣、换鞋、磨刀和休息。去滑雪场可以进行越野滑雪和速降滑雪。假如你没有滑过雪也不要紧，越野滑雪基本上不需要学习就可以滑。不过速降滑雪则需要教练指导。大的滑雪场都有滑雪设备出租，自己不一定买新的。除了冰球之外，冰壶也是一项加拿大人常玩的集体项目。一般需要加入一个俱乐部，编入一个队。这项运动需要运动员不停地大声呼喊，对中国人练口语帮助不小。

6、用英文介绍加拿大的天气

加拿大幅员辽阔，南部与美国接壤，东，西，北部由大西洋，太平洋和北冰洋所环绕，海岸线漫长曲折，多峡湾和岛屿。加拿大阳光充沛、四季分明。3月中旬至6月下旬为春季， 6月下旬至9月中旬为夏季，9月中旬至12月下旬为秋季， 12 月下旬至来年3月中旬为冬季。大多数地区的气候类似中国东北地区。

加拿大南部植物多在三月开始发芽，四、五月开花。 但在西海岸的温哥华和维多利亚春季的到来要早两个月左右，是加 拿大冬天最短、最温和的地区。 按官方的划定夏天是开始于六月二十一日，但对大多数加拿大人而言，七、八月才被认为 是夏天。在加拿大南部气温一般都在20C度以上，有时会超过30C度。 第一个霜冻的夜晚的出现被定为秋天的开始。通常是九月中旬。九月下旬到十月树木开始落叶。秋天有时也多雨。除西南部海岸地区外，大部分地区一般都在十一月开始下雪。温哥华和维多利亚一年只有十二月和一月有几天气温在零度以下，其他地区十二月至三月中旬一般被雪覆盖。

由于加拿大幅员辽阔，各地气候差异很大。一般来说，西部的不列颠哥伦比亚省(其中包括温哥华市)四季气候宜人，冬暖夏凉。加拿大第一大城市多伦多的气候类似于北京，但冬季较长且多雪，而夏季则无酷暑。首都渥太华及魁北克省会魁北克市的气候相当于中国的长春、哈尔滨。但由于加拿大先进的冬季除雪及取暖措施，那里的冬天并不使人感觉很冷。

7、加拿大的英文简介

Canada (English/French: Canada), located in the northernmost part of North America, is one of the Commonwealth countries. It is known as the "Maple Leaf Country" and its capital is Ottawa.

加拿大（英语/法语：Canada），位于北美洲最北端，英联邦国家之一，素有“枫叶之国”的美誉，首都是渥太华。

The Canadian political system is federalism and parliamentary monarchy. Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is the head of state and national symbol, and appoints the Queen Governor to be stationed.

加拿大政治体制为联邦制和议会制君主立宪制，英国女王伊丽莎白二世为国家元首及国家象征，并任命女王总督派驻。

Canada was originally the home of Indians and Inuits. After the 16th century, British and French colonists invaded successively, and became British colonies in 1763. It became a British dominion in 1867. In 1926, Britain recognized its "equal status" and gained diplomatic independence. 

加拿大原为印第安人与因纽特人的居住地。16世纪后，英国和法国殖民者先后侵入；1763年沦为英国殖民地。1867年成为英国自治领。1926年英国承认其"平等地位"，获得外交独立权。

In 1931, it became a member of the Commonwealth, and its Parliament also gained the same legislative power as the British Parliament. In 1982, the Queen of England signed the Canadian Constitution Act, and the Canadian Parliament gained the full rights of constitutionalism and constitutional amendment.

1931年成为英联邦成员国，其议会也获得了同英国议会同等的立法权，1982年，英国女王签署《加拿大宪法法案》，加拿大议会获得立宪、修宪的全部权利。

(7)加拿大气候中英文介绍扩展资料

Canada来自于圣劳伦斯易洛魁语中的Kanata一词，意思解作“村”或“聚居地”。1535年，居住在现今魁北克市的原住民将法国探险者雅克·卡蒂埃带到斯塔达科纳，并称该地为Kanata。后来雅克·卡蒂埃便用Canada指多纳科纳（即斯塔达科纳的首领）统治的地区。1545年，欧洲的书籍和地图都开始用Canada代表这片区域。

在17世纪和18世纪早期，Canada指新法兰西的圣劳伦斯河流域的地区。为了应对十三个殖民地居民的反英活动，英国政府在1774年颁布魁北克法案，这法案把加拿大的范围扩展至五大湖南部的地区，远及俄亥俄河。

这些土地大部分在1783年被移交给新生的美国，但五大湖以北的土地，即现今安大略省的大部分地区，被英国保留下来。在新法兰西被英国占领后，加拿大被分为两部分，即上加拿大和下加拿大。1841年，上下加拿大又合并为加拿大省。

1867年，加拿大省与新不伦瑞克和新斯科舍组成加拿大自治领。随着加拿大逐渐脱离英国，其政府也逐渐在官方文件和条约中使用加拿大这一简称。1982年，加拿大国庆日的官方名称从自治领日改为加拿大日

8、求关于加拿大的中英文对照的介绍

加拿大简介
加拿大-全球最适宜居住的国家
据联合国发表的报告，加拿大在就业水平、人均国民生产总值、收入、教育及卫生水平等综合指标在全球160多个国家中名列第一。

Canada

Canada, independent nation (2001 pop. 30,007,094), 3,851,787 sq mi (9,976,128 sq km), N North America. Canada occupies all of North America N of the United States (and E of Alaska) except for Greenland and the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. It is bounded on the E by the Atlantic Ocean, on the N by the Arctic Ocean, and on the W by the Pacific Ocean and Alaska. A transcontinental border, formed in part by the Great Lakes, divides Canada from the United States; Nares and Davis straits separate Canada from Greenland. The Arctic Archipelago extends far into the Arctic Ocean.
Canada is a federation of 10 provinces—Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia—and three territories—Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon Territory. Canada's capital is Ottawa and its largest city is Toronto. Other important cities include Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Hamilton, and Quebec.

Land

Canada has a very long and irregular coastline; Hudson Bay and the Gulf of St. Lawrence indent the east coast and the Inside Passage extends along the west coast. The ice-clogged straits between the islands of N Canada form the Northwest Passage. During the Ice Age all of Canada was covered by a continental ice sheet that scoured and depressed the land surface, leaving a covering of glacial drift, depositional landforms, and innumerable lakes and rivers. Aside from the Great Lakes, which are only partly in the country, the largest lakes of North America—Great Bear, Great Slave, and Winnipeg—are entirely in Canada. The St. Lawrence is the chief river of E Canada. The Saskatchewan, Nelson, Churchill, and Mackenzie river systems drain central Canada, and the Columbia, Fraser, and Yukon rivers drain the western part of the country.

Canada has a bowl-shaped geologic structure rimmed by highlands, with Hudson Bay at the lowest point. The country has eight major physiographic regions—the Canadian Shield, the Hudson Bay Lowlands, the Western Cordillera, the Interior Lowlands, the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Lowlands, the Appalachians, the Arctic Lowlands, and the Innuitians.

The exposed portions of the Canadian Shield cover more than half of Canada. This once-mountainous region, which contains the continent's oldest rocks, has been worn low by erosion over the millennia. Its upturned eastern edge is indented by fjords. The Shield is rich in minerals, especially iron and nickel, and in potential sources of hydroelectric power. In the center of the Shield are the Hudson Bay Lowlands, encompassing Hudson Bay and the surrounding marshy land.

The Western Cordillera, a geologically young mountain system parallel to the Pacific coast, is composed of a series of north-south tending ranges and valleys that form the highest and most rugged section of the country; Mt. Logan (19,551 ft/5,959 m) is the highest point in Canada. Part of this region is made up of the Rocky Mts. and the Coast Mts., which are separated by plateaus and basins. The islands off W Canada are partially submerged portions of the Coast Mts. The Western Cordillera is also rich in minerals and timber and potential sources of hydroelectric power.

Between the Rocky Mts. and the Canadian Shield are the Interior Lowlands, a vast region filled with sediment from the flanking higher lands. The Lowlands are divided into the prairies, the plains, and the Mackenzie Lowlands. The prairies are Canada's granary, while grazing is important on the plains.

The smallest and southernmost region is the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Lowlands, Canada's heartland. Dominated by the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes, the region provides a natural corridor into central Canada, and the St. Lawrence Seaway gives the interior cities access to the Atlantic. This section, which is composed of gently rolling surface on sedimentary rocks, is the location of extensive farmlands, large instrial centers, and most of Canada's population. In SE Canada and on Newfoundland is the northern end of the Appalachian Mt. system, an old and geologically complex region with a generally low and rounded relief.

The Arctic Lowlands and the Innuitians are the most isolated areas of Canada and are barren and snow-covered for most of the year. The Arctic Lowlands comprise much of the Arctic Archipelago and contain sedimentary rocks that may have oil-bearing strata. In the extreme north, mainly on Ellesmere Island, is the Innuitian Mt. system, which rises to c.10,000 ft (3,050 m).

Canada's climate is influenced by latitude and topography. The Interior Lowlands make it possible for polar air masses to move south and for subtropical air masses to move north into Canada. Hudson Bay and the Great Lakes act to modify the climate locally. The Western Cordillera serves as a climatic barrier that prevents polar air masses from reaching the Pacific coast and blocks the moist Pacific winds from reaching into the interior. The Cordillera has a typical highland climate that varies with altitude; the western slopes receive abundant rainfall, and the whole region is forested. The Interior Lowlands are in the rain shadow of the Cordillera; the southern portion has a steppe climate in which grasses predominate. S Canada has a temperate climate, with snow in the winter (especially in the east) and cool summers. Farther to the north, extending to the timberline, is the humid subarctic climate characterized by short summers and a snow cover for about half the year. The huge boreal forest, the largest surviving remnant of the extensive forests that once covered much of North America, predominates in this region. On the Arctic Archipelago and the northern mainland is the tundra, with its mosses and lichen, permafrost, near-year-round snow cover, and ice fields. A noted phenomenon off the coast of E Canada is the persistence of dense fog, which is formed when the warm air over the Gulf Stream passes over the cold Labrador Current as the two currents meet off Newfoundland.

People

About 40% of the Canadian population are of British descent, while 27% are of French origin. Another 20% are of other European background, about 10% are of E or SE Asian origin, and some 3% are of aboriginal or Métis (mixed aboriginal and European) background. In the late 1990s, Canada had the highest immigration rate of any country in the world, with more than half the total coming from Asia. Over 75% of the total population live in cities. Canada has complete religious liberty, though its growing multiculturalism has at times caused tensions among ethnic and religious groups. About 45% of the people are Roman Catholics, while some 40% are Protestant (the largest groups being the United Church of Canada, Anglicans, and Presbyterians). English and French are the official languages, and federal documents are published in both languages. In 1991, about 61% of Canadians cited English as their mother tongue, while 24% cited French.

Economy

Since World War II the development of Canada's manufacturing, mining, and service sectors has led to the creation of an affluent society. Services now account for 66% of the GDP, while instry accounts for 31%. Tourism and financial services represent some of Canada's most important instries within the service sector. However, manufacturing is Canada's single most important economic activity. The leading procts are transportation equipment, pulp and paper, processed foods, chemicals, primary and fabricated metals, petroleum, electrical and electronic procts, wood procts, printed materials, machinery, clothing, and nonmetallic minerals. Instries are centered in Ontario, Quebec, and, to a lesser extent, British Columbia and Alberta. Canada's instries depend on the country's rich energy resources, which include hydroelectric power, petroleum, natural gas, coal, and uranium.

Canada is a leading mineral procer, although much of its mineral resources are difficult to reach e to permafrost. It is the world's largest source of nickel, zinc, and uranium, and a major source of lead, asbestos, gypsum, potash, tantalum, and cobalt. Other important mineral resources are petroleum, natural gas, copper, gold, iron ore, coal, silver, diamonds, molybdenum, and sulfur. The mineral wealth is located in many areas; some of the most proctive regions are Sudbury, Ont. (copper and nickel); Timmins, Ont. (lead, zinc, and silver); and Kimberley, British Columbia (lead, zinc, and silver). Petroleum and natural gas are found in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Agriculture employs about 3% of the population and contributes a similar percentage of the GDP. The sources of the greatest farm income are livestock and dairy procts. Among the biggest income-earning crops are wheat, oats, barley, corn, and canola. Canada is one of the world's leading agricultural exporters, especially of wheat. Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta are the great grain-growing provinces, and, with Ontario, are also the leading sources of beef cattle. The main fruit-growing regions are found in Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. Apples and peaches are the principal fruits grown in Canada. More than half of the total land area is forest, and Canadian timber proction ranks among the highest in the world.

9、加拿大的英文介绍

Canada is a North American country consisting of ten provinces and three territories. Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Spanning over 9.9 million square kilometres, Canada is the world's second-largest country by total area, and its common border with the United States is the longest land border in the world.

The land that is now Canada was inhabited for millennia by various groups of Aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French expeditions explored, and later settled, along the region's Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom. This widening autonomy was highlighted by the Statute of Westminster 1931 and culminated in the Canada Act 1982, which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the British parliament.

Canada is a federal state that is governed as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. It is a bilingual nation with both English and French as official languages at the federal level. One of the world's most highly-developed countries, Canada has a diversified economy that is reliant upon its abundant natural resources and upon trade – particularly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and complex relationship. It is a member of the G7, G8, G20, NATO, OECD, WTO, Commonwealth of Nations, Francophonie, OAS, APEC, and UN. With the sixth-highest Human Development Index globally, Canada has one of the highest standards of living in the world.
