(一)拉丁美洲拉丁美洲是美国以南的美洲地区的总称。包括墨西哥、中美地峡、西印度群岛和南美洲四大部分。总面积约2070万平方公里(包括附近岛屿),人口约3.25亿。介于北纬32度至南纬56度之间,跨越88个纬度,是世界上南北延伸最长的大洲。但大陆的主体部分多在南北回归线之间,四分之三的面积位于热带之内,故以暖热湿润的热带气候为主。矿产、水力、森林、渔业等资源以及热带经济作物都很丰富而多样。到目前为止,拉丁美洲已独立的国有28个,其中同我国建交的国家有12个.
(1) Latin America Latin America is the general name for the Americas to the south of the United States. Including Mexico, the isthmus of Central America, the West Indies and South America. The total area is about 20.7 million square kilometers (including nearby islands) and the population is about 325 million. Between 32 degrees north latitude and 56 degrees south latitude, it spans 88 latitudes and is the longest stretched continent in the world. However, the main part of the mainland is between the Tropics of the South and the North, and three-quarters of its area is within the Tropics. Therefore, the warm tropical climate predominates. Resources such as minerals, hydropower, forests, and fisheries, as well as tropical economic crops, are abundant and diverse. So far, Latin America has 28 independent countries, of which 12 have diplomatic relations with China.
