Introduction of New Zealand in Chinese and English

New Zealand (English: New Zealand), also known as Aotearoa (Maori: Aotearoa), is an island country located in the southwest Pacific Ocean, with Wellington as its capital and Auckland metropolitan area as its largest city. New Zealand is mainly composed of two islands, namely North Island (Teika-A-Maui [7]) and South Island (Twepunam [7]). The Cook Strait separates the two islands, and Wellington, the capital, is located at the end of the North Island. There are also some other small islands.

New Zealand and Australia are across the tasman sea, about 65,438+0,500 kilometers from the east coast of Australia and about 65,438+0,000 kilometers from New Caledonia, Tonga and Fiji in the South Pacific Islands. Therefore, the special geographical location makes New Zealand one of the last areas inhabited by human beings, and because the population is mainly immigrants of European origin, it is one of the few white countries that are not located in Europe. Due to the long-term isolation of wild animals, New Zealand has formed a unique and diverse ecological environment. Due to tectonic uplift and volcanic eruption, the terrain of New Zealand is changeable, and the southern Alps run through the central and western South Island. New Zealand has beautiful scenery, pleasant climate and many tourist attractions. In the Human Development Index Report released by the United Nations Development Programme in 20 14, New Zealand ranked seventh in the world.

New Zealand is an island country in the southwest Pacific Ocean. Geographically, the country consists of two continents-North Island (or Maui Island) and South Island (or Waipunam Island)-and about 600 smaller islands. New Zealand lies about 1 1,500 km (900 miles) east of Australia, across tasman sea, and about 1 1,000 km (600 miles) south of New Caledonia, Fiji and tonga islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Because of its remoteness, it is one of the last lands where human beings settled. In the long-term isolation, New Zealand has developed the unique biodiversity of animals, fungi and plants. The country's diverse topography and steep peaks, such as southern alps, are largely due to the tectonic uplift and volcanic eruption. The capital of New Zealand is Wellington, and its most populous city is Auckland.

New Zealand is a developed country, ranking high in the international comparison of national performance in health, education, economic freedom and quality of life. Since1980s, New Zealand has changed from an agricultural economy and a regulated economy to a market economy. Nationally, the legislative power belongs to the elected unicameral parliament, while the executive power is exercised by the cabinet led by the Prime Minister, currently Bill Ingley. Queen Elizabeth II is the country's head of state, represented by the Governor-General, who is currently Mrs. Patsy Reddy. In addition, for the purpose of local government, New Zealand is divided into 1 1 district councils and 67 local authorities.
