对于我们居住在北半球的人说来,阿根廷是有些‘反常’的。国家的南部是冰天雪地,荒凉不堪,而北部反而是闷热异常,森林遍地。我们的夏天是它的冬天,而我们的严冬却是它的盛夏。阿根廷的面积居世界的第七位,在南美洲占第二位(仅次于巴西),共二、七九三、○○○方公里。它有法国、德国、英国、意大利、西班牙、葡萄牙、荷兰、比利时、爱尔兰、瑞典加起来那样大,约合欧洲全部领土的百分之二十九。按照一九四七年的统计,人口为一六、一○九、○○○人,其中印第安人仅二、三万,欧印混血种约四十万人,余均为欧洲移民。绝大多数的欧洲移民系西班牙与意大利人的后代,次之为法、捷、波、保等国人。
For some of us who live in the northern hemisphere, Argentina is somewhat ’anomalous’. The southern part of the country is snow-capped and desolate, while the northern part is rather sultry with forests everywhere. Our summer is its winter, and our winter is its midsummer. Argentina ranks seventh in the world in terms of its area, second in South America (behind Brazil) for a total of two, 793,000 square kilometers. It has France, Germany, Britain, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland and Sweden, which together make up about 29% of the total territory of Europe. According to the statistics of 1947, the population is between 160,000 and 109,000, of which only 23,000 are Indians and 40,000 are European and Indonesian. All are European immigrants. The vast majority of European immigrants are Spanish and Italian descendants, followed by France, Czech Republic, Poland, Bulgaria and other countries.
