澳大利亚以其广阔的疆域,土著历史,及特殊的国民性格闻名于世。从土著居民生存的大陆,发展为大英帝国的殖民地,最终成为一个政治独立,经济繁荣的现代化国家,澳大利亚的历史赋予了其居民多样化的国民性格。这些国民性格在澳大利亚体育运动上得到充分体现。 Australia is known for its vast territory, indigenous history, and special national character. From the mainland where the indigenous people lived, they developed into colonies of the British Empire and eventually became a politically independent and economically prosperous modern nation. The history of Australia gave its inhabitants a diverse national character. These national characters are fully reflected in Australian sports.
