Andorra is a landlocked（为陆地所包围的）country in western Europe,located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains and bordered by Spain and France.Once isolated,it is currently a prosperous（繁荣的）country mainly because of tourism and its status as a tax haven（港口，避难所）.The people of Andorra are currently listed as having the highest human life expectancies on Earth,at83.52years.In Andorra you can speak Spanish or French,you can go skiing or shopping,and you can go from one border to the other in a matter of hours.
安道尔是欧洲西部一个内陆国家，位于比利牛斯山脉以东，与西班牙和法国接壤。这个昔日封闭的国家，如今却非常繁荣，主要是因为其旅游业和“避税港”的地位。安道尔的人均寿命是当今世界最高的，达到了83.52岁。在安道尔，你可以讲西班牙语，也可以讲法语；你可以去滑雪，也可以去购物；你还能在几个小时内从国境的一端到达另一端。
Liechtenstein列支敦士登
“列支敦士登”在德语中意为“发亮的石头”，因城内建筑物以浅白色大理石做材料而得名。面积160平方公里的列支敦士登是世界上著名的出产邮票的国家。
Liechtenstein is like the fictional（虚构的）country of Ruritania made real.A Gothic castle perches（坐落）over the capital,Vaduz,where tourists stop for postage stamps.Liechtenstein is bordered by Switzerland to its westand by Austria to its east.Mountainous,it is a winter sports resort,although it is perhaps best known as a tax haven.Liechtenstein is not heavily urbanized（使都市化）.Many cultivated fields and small farms characterize its landscape both in the north and in the south.
列支敦士登就像虚构的鲁里坦尼亚王国（编者注：也称浪漫国，是一个虚构的中欧王国）的现实版。一座哥特式城堡巍峨地耸立于首都瓦杜兹，游客们在这里停留以便购买邮票。列支敦士登西部和瑞士接壤，东部和奥地利相邻。虽然以“避税港”闻名于世，多山的列支敦士登也是冬季运动的好去处。列支敦士登并没有被过度城市化，北部和南部那些耕种的田野和小农场构成了一道独特风景。
Monaco摩纳哥
摩纳哥东西长约3公里，南北最窄处仅200米，面积为1.95平方公里。该国还被誉为“世界上最安全的国家”之一。

提及摩纳哥，都与“钱”有关——制造钱、消费钱，乃至挥霍钱。摩纳哥是世界上消费最高的地方之一。摩纳哥的房地产价格居欧洲之首，甚至超过了伦敦。由于摩纳哥每年举办蒙特卡罗汽车拉力赛或是汽车大奖赛，这里可能还是车迷们的向往之地。摩纳哥也是世界上人口密度最大的国家和面积第二小的独立国家。

有“地中海心脏”之称的马耳他，面积316平方公里，是闻名世界的旅游胜地，被誉为“欧洲的乡村”。
Malta is a small and densely populated island nation comprising an archipelago（群岛）of seven islands in the Mediterranean Sea.Only the three largest islands are inhabited.EU nationals require neither a visa nor a passport to enter the country.Citizens of a number of third countries are not required to apply for a visa and require only a valid passpoa when residing in Malta for up to three months.
位于地中海上的马耳他人口稠密，是由七个岛屿构成的群岛小国。其中只有三个最大的岛屿上有居民。欧盟国家的公民进入该国既不需要签证也不需要护照。一些第三国家的公民并不要求拥有签证，只需出示有效护照就可以在马耳他逗留长达三个月的时间。

San Marino is the oldest constitutional republic in the world still existing:it was founded in the year 301.The three towers of San Marino are a well—known group of towers located On the three peaks of Monte Titano in the capital.They are depicted（画，刻画）on both the national flag and coat of arms.San Marino also has a cake known as Cake of the Three Towers,as a symbol for the area,it is something of a layered wafer cake covered in chocolate.
圣马力诺是世界上最古老的宪政共和国：成立于公元301年。坐落于首都的蒂塔诺山三座山峰上的“圣马力诺三城堡”是世界上极负盛名的城堡群。圣马力诺的国旗和国徽上都画有它们的图像。圣马力诺还有一种“三城堡蛋糕”，是该国的象征，它有点像一种覆盖着巧克力的夹心华大饼干。
