第三十章澳大利亚经济 Chapter 30 The Economy Ⅰ.工业 Manufacturing Industry 澳大利亚的制造业以制砖开始。86%的制造业为小企业。 Manufacturing in Australia began with the making of bricks. It is estimated that 86% of all manufacturing firms are small businesses. 在世界的总格局中，澳大利亚的制造业是独特的。它的特点包括下面几点: In a world context Australian manufacturing is unique. Its features include the following: 1)效率低Inefficiency 澳大利亚的市场有限，它在地理上与外界的隔绝以及很高的关税壁垒是影响澳大利亚工业效率的几个因素。 Australia's limited local market, its geographical isolation and high levels of tariff protection are the factors that affect the efficiency of Australian manufacturing. 效率最低并且最受保护的工业是汽车、纺织、服装和制鞋工业。 The industries that are most inefficient and most highly protected are automobile, textiles, clothing and footwear industries. 2)高度集中Concentration 在过去20年里，大的联合企业在澳大利亚经济中一直起中心作用。 Over the last 20 years large conglomerates have been given a central role in the Australian economy. 整个钢铁工业由一个公司控制，这就是布洛肯·希尔专卖有限公司。 The entire steel industry is in the hands of one company, the Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited (BHP). 3)外国投资Foreign investment 澳大利亚的制造业在很大程度上依靠外国投资。外资公司比他们的澳大利亚同行获利多。 Australian manufacturing relies heavily on foreign investment. Companies that are foreign-owned tend to be more profitable than their Australian counterparts. Ⅱ.农业 Agriculture 200年前，澳大利亚是一个没有农业的大陆。今天，农业却是这个国家的最大的和最多样化的行业。澳大利亚是世界上粮食和天然纤维的主要生产国之一。 200 years ago Australia was a land without agriculture. Today, agriculture is the nation's largest and most diverse industry. Australia is one of the world's leading

澳大利亚基本国情概况 澳大利亚联邦(The Commonwealth of Australia)，简称澳大利亚，其最早居民为土著人。1770年英国航海家詹姆斯·库克抵澳东海岸，宣布英国占有这片土地。1788年1月26日英国流放到澳大利亚的第一批犯人抵悉尼湾，英开始在澳建立殖民地，后来这一天被定为澳大利亚国庆日。1900年7月，英议会通过“澳大利亚联邦宪法”和“不列颠自治领条例”。 1901年1月1日，澳各殖民区改为州，成立澳大利亚联邦。1931年成为英联邦内的独立国家。 1986年，英议会通过“与澳大利亚关系法”，澳大利亚获得完全立法权和司法终审权。 一、基本国情 （一）自然状况 1、地理位置 澳大利亚位于南太平洋和印度洋之间，具体位置在南纬10度41'和43度39'之间。由澳大利亚大陆、塔斯马尼亚岛等岛屿和海外领土组成。东濒太平洋的珊瑚海和塔斯曼海，北、西、南三面临印度洋及其边缘海。海岸线长36,735公里。澳大利亚的国土面积为769.2万平方公里，居世界第六位，仅次于俄罗斯、加拿大、中国、美国和巴西。其陆地面积为768.24万平方公里，是世界上唯一独占一片大陆的国家，南北距离约3,700公里，东西约4,000公里。它东临南太平洋，西临印度洋，东南隔塔斯曼海与新西兰为邻，北部隔帝汶海和托雷斯海峡与东帝汶、印度尼西亚和巴布亚新几内亚相望。 澳大利亚虽四面临海，虽四面环水，但沙漠和半沙漠却占全国面积的35%。全国分为东部山地、中部平原和西部高原3个地区。全国最高峰科修斯科山海拨2230米，最长河流墨尔本河长3490里。中部的埃尔湖是澳大利亚的最低点，湖面低于海平面12米。在东部沿海有全世界最大的珊瑚礁──大堡礁。85%的澳大利亚人住在离海岸线50公里以内的地区，主要集中在首都堪培拉和澳洲的两大城市悉尼、墨尔本。城市集中在沿海，农村则在相对偏内陆一点。 2、气候特征 澳大利亚三分之一的地区处于南回归线以北，属于热带，而其余地区则属温带。澳大利亚春季为9月至11月，夏季为12月至2月，秋季为3月至5月，冬季为6月至8月。由于受亚热带高气压和东南信风的影响，加之全国35％的沙漠地带，澳气候比较干燥。北部年平均气温约摄氏27度，南部年平均气温约摄氏14度。澳西部和中部因沙漠气候，年平均降雨量不足250毫米；北部半岛和沿海地区属于热带草原气候，年平均降雨量为750—2,000

关于澳大利亚的英文介绍 Australia: An introduction In land area, Australia is the sixth largest nation after Russia, Canada, China, the United States of America and Brazil. It has, however, a relatively small population. Australia is the only nation to govern an entire continent and its outlying islands. The mainland is the largest island and the smallest, flattest continent on Earth. It lies between 10° and 39°South latitude. The highest point on the mainland, Mount Kosciuszko, is only 2228 metres. Apart from Antarctica, Australia is the driest continent. Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth. Its interior has one of the lowest rainfalls in the world and about three-quarters of the land is arid or semi-arid. Its fertile areas are well-watered, however, and these are used very effectively to help feed the world. Sheep and cattle graze in dry country, but care must be taken with the soil. Some grazing land became desert when the long cycles that influence rainfall in Australia turned to drought. The Australian federation consists of six States and two Territories. Most inland borders follow lines of longitude and latitude. The largest State,

Terms 1. Magna Carta Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter", literally "Great Paper"). In 1215, King John was forced by a group of feudal Barons (男爵，贵族) and the church to grant them a charter of liberty and political rights. Magna Carta placed some limits on the king’s ability to abuse his royal power. The Magna Carta is regarded as the foundation of the British Constitutionalism（立宪制度）and it provides the basic principles（基本原则）for the protection of individual rights in both Britain and the United States. 2. The Hundred Years’ War The Hundred Years’War was a series of wars fought between England and France over trade, Territory（领土）, security（安全）and the throne（王权）. The Hundred Years’ War promoted the concept of English Nationalism（民族主义）and the development of the textile industry because it reduced the export of English wool （羊毛）. The war raised the social position of the bourgeois（资产阶级）class. All these factors contributed to the decline of feudalism（封建制度）in England. 3. The Wars of the Roses玫瑰战争 Between 1455 and 1485 a series of battles were fought between the two branches of the Plantagenet family, the House of Lancaster, symbolized by the red rose, and the House of York, symbolized by the white rose, ended with the failure of the House of York. 4. Black Death Black Death was the modern name given to the deadly（致命的）bubonic plague（黑死病）, an epidemic disease(流行病) spread by rat fleas（鼠疫跳蚤）. It was a fierce and widespread outbreak of plague(瘟疫) that ravaged（毁坏）the whole of Europe in the 14th century. It hit England first in 1349 with subsequent waves between 1360 and 1375 . The plague killed perhaps up to one-third of the British population. As a result of the plague, much land was left untended and there was a terrible shortage of labour. 5. The Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution refers to the mechanization(机械化) of industry and the consequences in social and economic organization in Britain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Britain was the first country to industrialize. The Industrial Revolution in Britain first began in the textile （纺织）industry.
一、澳大利亚旅游资源简介 1、澳大利亚简介 首都：堪培拉国土面积：7,682,300.00平方公里 人口：2228万人(2010) 语言：英语，土著语言，澳大利亚的官方语言是英语。货币：澳元截止2011-10-18 1澳元=6.4912人民币 民族：英国及其它欧洲国家移民后裔占95.2%，亚洲人占1.3%，土著民族占1.5%，其它民族占2%。 宗教：没有国教，25%的国民没有宗教信仰，圣公会教徒占21%，罗马天主教教徒占27%，其它基督教教派占21%，其他宗教信仰者占6%。 历史 澳大利亚一词源于拉丁语“Terra australis incognita”，意为未知的南方大陆。一般认为，澳大利亚土著的祖先，大约在4万年以前，就居住在澳大利亚。1616年荷兰人才开始真正探索澳大利亚，发现了约1/3的澳大利亚土地。1770年4月29日英国航海家詹姆斯库克船长率领努力号全体船员正式下锚于澳大利亚东岸的植物湾，接着沿东海岸一路往北上，在约克角的控有岛升起英国国旗，并将整个澳大利亚大陆东部宣布为英王乔治三世所属。1817年澳大利亚这个名字被当时的殖民当局正式使用。1931年英议会通过“威斯敏斯特法案”，给予澳大利亚内政和外交自主权，从此澳大利亚成为英联邦的独立国。1972年澳大利亚工党政府彻底取消了“白澳政策”，同年，澳大利亚和中国建立外交关系。 文化 澳大利亚由具有不同文化背景的民族构成。澳大利亚是一个容忍互让、兼容并收的社会，其文化的多样性已成为澳大利亚的民族特色。土著人的文化遗产、英国人的殖民历史、世界各地移民的文化价值观，以及澳大利亚持开放政策，在艺术领域鼓励竞争、提倡百家争鸣的特点融合在一起，使澳大利亚成为一个具有多元文化的社会。澳大利亚的音乐、舞蹈、戏曲、艺术和文学蜚声世界。 2、澳大利亚旅游：吃喝、游乐、购! 澳大利亚通常被视为最适合中国人避暑的国家。它位于南半球，气候宜人，
澳大利亚介绍 “澳洲人”是第一次世界大战期间使用的俗语，指代澳大利亚出生的有着英国或爱尔兰血统的人。这个词最初用来描述能够度过艰难时期的随遇而安的人，在二战后被采用，用来区分那些来自西欧和南欧的“新”移民和本地生人。这个词作为代表这个国家的澳大利亚人的标签，仍然具有意义。在社会的某些领域，“澳洲人”被认为在一个官方致力于民族和种族包容的国家里是欧洲中心主义且不合时宜的。 介绍 识别。“澳洲人”这个名字于1817年被新南威尔士殖民地的英国总督正式通过并推广。这个称谓于1814年被提出，起源于拉丁语terra australis incognita（“未知的南方陆地”），该词语在欧洲殖民统治前被地图制作者使用数世纪。 自成为英国殖民地之后，澳大利亚与世界上许多地方来的移民以及土著原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民人口一起发展出了复杂的民族文化。基于地理区域的不同，州和领地之间强烈的社会和历史独特感并没有发展成为主要的亚文化差异。 这个国家在其大部分历史中一直注重把不同的文化群体同化以占主导地位的英式澳大利亚传统;然而，在70年代初，多元文化的多元化政策开始展露头角。1988年，两百周年活动正式晋升为“国家的庆祝活动”。澳大利亚曾对这个理念做出承诺，即澳大利亚是生活在一个相对年轻的社会的不同人们的集合体。然而，国家内部的分歧，通过种族，民族，社会阶层以及性别间的社会差异，不断表现在公共生活中。 位置和地理。澳大利亚是南半球的岛屿大陆，位于南极洲和亚洲之间。它西邻印度洋，东邻帝汶岛，阿拉弗拉海和珊瑚海，北邻太平洋，南邻塔斯曼海与南大洋。大部分陆地地势平缓，干燥。澳大利亚大陆的面积为297万平方英里（7690000平方公里）。 虽然环境变化对澳大利亚土著的传统文化的影响是非常明显的，单环境变化在移民文化中并不是那么强的因素。最显著的生活方式的差异主要是由气候变化影响。 澳大利亚分为六个州（西澳大利亚州，南澳大利亚州，维多利亚州，塔斯马尼亚州，新南威尔士州和昆士兰州）和两个领地（北领地和首领地），其首府城市分别为珀斯，阿德莱德，墨尔本，霍巴特，悉尼，布里斯班，达尔文和堪培拉。大多数人口居住在沿海城市地区。首都堪培拉位于澳大利亚首领地（ACT）。首领地创立于1909年，堪培拉是由美国景观设计师于1912年设计的。英联邦议会在1927由墨尔本搬至堪培拉。堪培拉拥有超过30万人口，是澳大利亚最大的内陆城市。 人口。根据1986年的人口普查，澳大利亚总人口刚刚超过1550万。到1992年，人口已上升至1750万人，在1996年达到1830万。在2000年，这一数字预计将达到1900万。1997年，430万（23％）的居民出生在海外。大约2％的人口是土著或托雷斯海峡岛民，这些人是欧洲殖民前这块大陆的原住民的后裔。这些人比其他人有着更高的出生率，但是也具有较高的死亡率和较低的寿命。在1996年，自认为是原住民或托雷斯海峡岛民的人口是372000，大概与1788年时的人口相同; 这些人中许多人同时有原住民和非原住民的祖先。 语言归属。自从英国殖民以来澳大利亚的主导语言一直是英语，大多数人很少说多种语言。然而，多样的土著团体和许多移民继续使用英语以外的语言。 欧洲入侵之前，大约有250种土著语言，其中大部分可能有不同的方言。这些语言中有90种也许仍然在被使用，由土著儿童流利使用的大约有20种。土著语言使用的衰落是由于殖民化的影响。在一些土著团体中，特别是在北部地区，一些有特色的克里奥尔语方言是由英语与土著语言混合而成。 除了土著语言，大约十二个主要的部落语言，至少有五万人会在家说这些语言。这些语言，按照使用者数量排序，为意大利语，希腊语，汉语，塞尔维亚-克罗地亚语，阿拉伯语，德语，越南语，西班牙语，波兰语，马其顿语，菲律宾语和马耳他语。墨尔本是最多语种的城
