加拿大的英文介绍

Banff National Park Overview

After an easy hike to the top of Tunnel Mountain just outside Banff townsite, I take a deep breath of the fresh pine-scented air that rushes past on a brisk westerly. From the summit, I overlook the turquoise bends of the Bow River, and see the peaks that are synonymous with the park rise abruptly from the valley on all sides. From my vantage point, the bustling community of Banff is revealed as but a tiny square in the vast and varied quilt of Canada's Banff National Park.

Over 100 years ago, in 1896, American explorer Walter Wilcox wrote that this spot was "the best place from which to get a good general idea of Banff and its surroundings." Wilcox knew—he made the first recorded visits to many places—that there was much more to experience beyond the environs of the townsite.

The Bow River, while a major watershed, is but one of hundreds that beckon for exploration. As I soak up the views, I visualize other favorite scenes of this renowned preserve in the Canadian Rockies. Tunnel Mountain is a spot I've never tired of, and have returned to dozens of times. It epitomizes the beauty and the wildness that are at the core of the eternal appeal of Banff National Park. The hike serves as a gentle introduction to this wilderness gem, Canada's first national park, established in 1885.

加拿大是世界上海岸线最长的国家。南部与美国接壤，国境线长达8892公里。北部隔海与俄罗斯相望。

由于北部的严寒气候，只有12%的土地适合耕种。因此，加拿大的三千万人口大多居住在气候温和，距离南部边界几百公里以内的狭长领土内，尤其是与美国接壤的湖群和圣劳伦斯地区，地势平坦、土地肥沃、物产丰富，是加拿大人口最稠密、工农业最集中的地区。

加拿大湖泊众多。如果在夏天飞过曼尼托巴或北安大略，你将看到水面多于陆地，大大小小的湖泊不计其数。据估测，加拿大拥有全世界七分之一的淡水量。除了与美国相连的五大湖，加拿大还有众多的河流。加拿大是一个雨雪量都非常丰富的国家，林木和农作物都能得到充分的水量，因而生长得茂密繁盛。而变化多端，光彩夺目的雪峰景色，更是举世闻名。

加拿大的森林覆盖面积为占全国总面积的44%，仅次于俄罗斯和巴西，居世界第三位。加拿大有丰富的矿藏，是世界上除美国和俄罗斯以外最大的产矿国之一。

加拿大有五大地理区。分别是东部大西洋区、中部区、草原区、西海岸地区和北部区。东部区以渔业、农业、森林、 采矿业等为主；中部的安大略和魁北克省是人口最密集的地区，占加拿大四分之三的制造业都位于这里；草原区包括曼尼托巴、萨斯喀彻温和阿尔伯达省，这里土地平坦肥沃，能源资源丰富。西海岸区是卑诗省，是著名的山区和森林区，木材、水果、海洋资产等资源丰富；北部区由育空和西北领地组成，盛产石油、天然气、金、铅和锌。

历史：原为印第安人与因纽特人居住地。16 世纪沦为法、英殖民地，后又被法割让给英国。1867年，英将加拿大省、新不伦瑞克省和诺瓦斯科舍省合并为一个联邦，成为英国最早的自治领。此后，其它省也陆续加入联邦。1926年，英国承认加的“平等地位”，加始获外交独立权。1931年，成为英联邦成员国，其议会也获得了同英议会平等的立法权，但仍无修宪权。1982年，英国女王签署《加拿大宪法法案》，加议会获得立宪、修宪的全部权力。

政治： 1867年建立联邦以来，基本上由自由党和进步保守党轮流执政。1993年，自由党在第35届联邦议会大选中获胜，克雷蒂安就任总理。1997、2000年大选中，自由党连续获胜，克蝉联执政。2003年11月，保罗·马丁当选自由党新领袖，12月，克雷蒂安宣布退休，马丁继任总理。马丁政府上台后将医疗保健、教育创新、加强城市建设、提升加经济竞争力和国际地位等列为施政重点。2004年3月自由党政府爆出腐败丑闻，支持率一度降至10年来最低点。6月，加举行大选，自由党再次获胜，马丁总理连任。
