南美洲，北美洲的英文简介！急求！！！！！
South America (Spanish: América del Sur or Sudamérica; Portuguese: América do Sul; Dutch: Zuid-Amerika; French: Amérique du Sud) is the southern continent of America,[2][3] situated in the Western and Southern Hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the Northern Hemisphere. It is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean; North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest.
America was named in 1507 by cartographers Martin Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann after Amerigo Vespucci, who was the first European to suggest that the newly discovered lands were not India, but a New World unknown to Europeans.
South America has an area of 17,840,000 square kilometers (6,890,000 sq mi), or almost 3.5% of the Earth's surface. As of 2005, its population was estimated at more than 371,090,000. South America ranks fourth in area (after Asia, Africa, and North America) and fifth in population (after Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America).
Agriculture and animal domestication
The prehistoric Cueva de las Manos, or Cave of Hands, in ArgentinaSouth America is thought to have been first inhabited by people crossing the Bering Land Bridge (now the Bering Strait) from the territory that is present-day Russia. Some archaeological finds do not fit this theory and have led to an alternative theory of Pre-Siberian American Aborigines. The first evidence for the existence of agricultural practices in South America dates back to about 6500 BC, when potatoes, chillies and beans began to be cultivated for food in the highlands of the Amazon Basin. Pottery evidence further suggests that manioc, which remains a staple food today, was being cultivated as early as 2000 BC.[4]
By 2000 BC, many agrarian village communities had been settled throughout the Andes and the surrounding religious regions. Fishing became a widespread practice along the coast, helping establish fish as a primary source of food. Irrigation systems were also developed at this time, which aided in the rise of an agrarian society.[4]
South American cultures began domesticating llamas, vicuñas, guanacos, and alpacas in the highlands of the Andes circa 3500 BC. Besides their use as sources of meat and wool, these animals were used for transportation of goods.[4]
[edit] Pre-Colombian civilizations
The Inca ruins of Machu Picchu.The rise of plant growing and the subsequent appearance of permanent human settlements allowed for the multiple and overlapping beginnings of civilizations in South America.
The earliest known settlements, and culture in South America and America altogether, are the Valdivia on the Southwest coast of Ecuador.
One of the earliest known South American civilizations was at Norte Chico, on the central Peruvian coast. Though a pre-ceramic culture, the monumental architecture of Norte Chico is contemporaneous with the pyramids of Ancient Egypt. Norte Chico governing class established a trade network and developed agriculture then followed by Chavín by 900 BC, according to some estimates and archaeological finds. Artifacts were found at a site called Chavín de Huantar in modern Peru at an elevation of 3,177 meters. Chavín civilization spanned 900 BC to 300 BC.
In the central coast of Peru, around the beginning of the I millenum, Moche (100 BC – 700 AD, at the northern coast of Peru), Paracas and Nazca (400 BC – 800 AD, Peru) cultures flourished with centralized states with permanent militia improving agriculture through irrigation and new styles of ceramic art. At the Altiplano, Tiahuanaco or Tiwanaku (100 BC – 1200 AD, Bolivia) managed a large commercial network based on religion. Around 7th century, both Tiahuanaco and Wari or Huari Empire (600 – 1200, Central and northern Peru) expanded its influence to all the Andean region, imposing the Huari urbanism and tiahuanaco religious iconography.
The Muisca were the main indigenous civilization in what is now modern Colombia. They established a confederation of many clans, or cacicazgos, that had a free trade network among themselves. They were goldsmiths and farmers.
Other important Pre-Columbian cultures include: ; the Cañaris (in south central Ecuador), Chimu Empire (1300–1470, Peruvian northern coast), Chachapoyas, and the Aymaran kingdoms (1000–1450, Bolivia and southern Peru).
Holding their capital at the great city of Cusco, the Inca civilization dominated the Andes region from 1438 to 1533. Known as Tawantin suyu, and "the land of the four regions," in Quechua, the Inca civilization was highly distinct and developed. Inca rule extended to nearly a hundred linguistic or ethnic communities, some 9 to 14 million people connected by a 25,000 kilometer road system. Cities were built with precise, unmatched stonework, constructed over many levels of mountain terrain. Terrace farming was a useful form of agriculture.

[edit] Etymology
The Americas are generally accepted as having been named after the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci by the German cartographers Martin Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann. Vespucci, who explored South America between 1497 and 1502, was the first European to suggest that the Americas were not the East Indies, but a different landmass previously unknown by Europeans. In 1507, Waldseemüller produced a world map, in which he placed the word "America" on the continent of South America, in the middle of what is today Brazil. He explained the rationale for the name in the accompanying book Cosmographiae Introductio,
ab Americo inventore ... quasi Americi terram sive Americam (from Americus the discoverer ... as if it were the land of Americus, thus America).[5]
For Waldseemüller, no one should object to the naming of the land after its discoverer. He used the Latinized version of Vespucci's name (Americus Vespucius), but in its feminine form "America", following the examples of "Europa" and "Asia".
Later, when other mapmakers added North America, they extended the original name to it as well: in 1538, Gerard Mercator used the name America to all of the Western Hemisphere on his world map.[6]
Some argue that the convention is to use the surname for naming discoveries except in the case of royalty and so a derivation from "Amerigo Vespucci" could be problematic.[7] Ricardo Palma (1949) proposed a derivation from the "Amerrique" mountains of Central America—Vespucci was the first to discover South America and the Amerrique mountains of Central America, which connected his discoveries to those of Christopher Columbus.
Alfred E. Hudd proposed a theory in 1908 that the continents are named after a Welsh merchant named Richard Amerike from Bristol, who is believed to have financed John Cabot's voyage of discovery from England to Newfoundland in 1497. A minutely explored belief that has been advanced is that America was named for a Spanish sailor bearing the ancient Visigothic name of 'Amairick'. Another is that the name is rooted in a Native American language.[6]

各大洲的英文是什么
Asia 亚洲，Africa 非洲，South America 南美洲，North America 北美洲，Antarctica 南极洲，Europe欧洲，Oceania大洋洲。七大洲指地球陆地分成的七大陆地板块，包括亚洲（全称亚细亚洲）（Asia）、欧洲（全称欧罗巴洲 ）（Europe）、北美洲（全称北亚美利加洲）（North America）、南美洲（全称南亚美利加洲） （South America）非洲（全称阿非利加洲）（Africa）、大洋洲（Oceania）、南极洲（Antarctica）。扩展资料：四大洋的英文：1、大西洋：Atlantic Ocean。2、太平洋：Pacific Ocean。3、印度洋：Indian Ocean。 4、北冰洋：Arctic Ocean。亚洲和非洲英文名称的由来：1、在世界七大洲中亚洲面积最大、人口最多，它的名字也最为古老。亚洲是亚细亚洲 的简称，意思是“东方日出处”。相传亚细亚的名字是由古代腓尼基人所起。公元前2000年 中期，腓尼基人在地中海东岸(今叙利亚一带)兴起，建立起强大的腓尼基王国。他们具有精 湛的航海技术，活跃于整个地中海，甚至能穿越直布罗陀海峡驶入茫茫的大洋中。他们发展了自己的文化，创造了腓尼基字母，为世界许多民族的文字发展做出了贡献。频繁的海上活动 ，要求腓尼基人必须确定方位。所以，他们把地中海以东的陆地一律称之为“Asu”，意即 “东方日出处”。“Asia”是从腓尼基语“Asu”演化而来，音译为“亚细亚洲”。 到了公元4世纪初，人们便把乌拉尔山作为两洲的界限，乌拉尔山以东的地区称为亚细亚洲简称亚洲；以西的地区则称为欧罗巴洲，简称欧洲。2、非洲是阿非利加洲的简称。 对于阿非利加一词的由来。流传着不少有趣的传说，一种传说是，古时也门有位名叫Africu s的酋长，于公元前2000年侵入北非，在那里建立了一座名叫Afrikyah的城市，后来人们便 把这大片地方叫做阿非利加。另一种传说是，“阿非利加”是居住在 北非的柏柏尔人崇信的一位女神的名字。这位女神是位守护神，据说早在公元前1世纪，柏 柏尔人曾在一座庙里发现了这位女神的塑像，她是个身披象皮的年轻女子。此后，人们便以 女神的名字“阿非利加”作为非洲大陆的名称。还有一种传说，侵入迦太甚地区(今突尼斯) 的罗马征服者西皮翁的别名叫“西皮翁·阿非利干”，为了纪念这位征服者，罗马统治者就 把这片地区叫做“阿非利干”。以后，罗马人又不断扩张，建立了新阿非利加省。那时，这 个名称只限于非洲大陆的北部地区。到了公元2世纪，罗马帝国的疆域扩大到从直布罗陀海 峡到埃及的整个东北部的广大地区，人们把居住在这里的罗马人或是本地人统统叫做阿非利 干(Africain)意即阿非利加人，这片地方也被叫做阿非利加。以后又泛指非洲大陆。
