中文翻译：美国是世界上非常重要的大国，其国土面积位于世界第四位，仅次与俄罗斯、加拿大和中国。美国位于北美洲，邻国有加拿大和墨西哥等，美国领土还包括濒临北冰洋的阿拉斯加和太平洋的夏威夷。美国经济和科技实力目前在世界无人可以望其项背，是当之无愧的超级大国。
美国的气候具有多样化的特点。美国本土所处的纬度大约在北纬25°到49°之间，除佛罗里达半岛南端为热带气候外，都为温带和亚热带气侯。降水量不平衡，一般说来，东部湿润，西部干旱。东北部沿海和五大湖地区，受拉布拉多寒流和北方冷空气影响，冬季寒冷，1月份平均气温为-6℃左右，夏季较温和，多雨，7月份平均气温为16℃左右；年平均降水量约1000毫米。中部大平原区，由于地形南北敞开，冬季寒冷气流可长驱南下，夏季炎热的南风可不断吹进，因而冬季寒冷，夏季炎热。靠近北部一带，l月份最低气温可达-40℃，7月份最高气温可达45℃。年平均降水量一般在500～1000毫米。东南部和墨西哥湾沿岸为亚热带气候。受墨西哥湾暖流影响，温暖湿润，1月份平均气温为9℃左右，7月份平均气温为24～27℃。夏末初秋墨西哥湾沿岸常有飓风侵袭，造成灾害。年平均降水量在1500毫米以上。西部内陆高原，气候干燥，冬季寒冷，夏季炎热，年平均降水量在500毫米以下，高原南部的荒漠地带降水量不到250毫米。太平洋沿岸北部是海洋性气候，冬暖夏凉，雨量充沛，l月份平均气温在4℃以上，8月份平均气温不超过14℃，年平均降水量在1500毫米以上。太平洋沿岸南部属地中海型气候，冬季温暖多雨，夏季干燥闷热，1月份平均气温为12℃，8月份超过22℃，年平均降水量为300～500毫米。阿拉斯加约有1/3位于北极圈内，属寒带，气候干燥寒冷。东南部太平洋沿岸因受阿拉斯加暖流的影响，气候较温和湿润。夏威夷群岛地处热带，气候炎热。一般来说迎风的东北坡降水丰富，背风的西南坡干燥少雨，个别迎风坡年降水量可达12000毫米.

美国位于北美洲南部，东临大西洋，西濒太平洋，北接加拿大，南靠墨西哥及墨西哥湾。美国国土面积占世界总面积的7％，居世界第四位。

美国面积9372610平方公里（其中陆地面积915.8960万平方公里，内陆水域面积约20万平方公里），如果加上五大湖中美国主权部分约17万平方公里，河口、港湾、内海等沿海水域面积约10万平方公里，面积为963万平方公里，如果只计陆地面积，美国排名第三，仅次于俄罗斯、中国，在加拿大之前。
