The United States of America, also known as the United States, the U.S., the U.S.A., and America, is a country in North America that shares land borders with Canada and Mexico, and a sea border with Russia. Extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, the United States is a federal republic, with its capital in Washington, D.C.
The present-day continental United States has been inhabited for at least 15,000 years by indigenous tribes. After European exploration and settlement in the 16th century, the English established their own colonies—and gained control of others that had been begun by other European nations—in the eastern portion of the continent in the 17th and early 18th centuries. On 4 July 1776, at war with Britain over fair governance, thirteen of these colonies declared their independence. In 1783, the war ended in British acceptance of the new nation. Since then, the country has more than quadrupled in size: it now consists of 50 states and one federal district; it also has numerous overseas territories.
At over 3.7 million square miles (over 9.5 million km), the U.S. is the third or fourth largest country by total area, depending on whether the disputed areas of China are included. It is the world's third most populous nation, with nearly 300 million people.
The United States has maintained a liberal democratic political system since it adopted its Articles of Confederation on 1 March 1781 and the Constitution, the Articles' replacement, on 17 September 1787. American military, economic, cultural, and political influence increased throughout the 20th century; with the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War, the nation emerged as the world's sole remaining superpower. Today, it plays a major role in world affairs.
The earliest known use of the name America is from 1507, when a globe and a large map created by the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller in Saint-Die-des-Vosges described the combined continents of North and South America. Although the origin of the name is uncertain, the most widely held belief is that expressed in an accompanying book, Cosmographiae Introductio, which explains it as a feminized version of the Latin name of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci (Americus Vespucius); in Latin, the other continents' names were all feminine. Vespucci theorized, correctly, that Christopher Columbus, on reaching islands in the Caribbean Sea in 1492, had come not to India but to a "New World".
The Americas were also known as Columbia, after Columbus, prompting the name District of Columbia for the land set aside as the U.S. capital. Columbia remained a popular name for the United States until the early 20th century, when it fell into relative disuse; but it is still used poetically and appears in various names and titles. A female personification of the country is also called Columbia; she is similar to Britannia. Columbus Day, a holiday in the U.S. and other countries in the Americas commemorating Columbus' October 1492 landing.
The term "united States of America" was first used officially in the Declaration of Independence, adopted on 4 July 1776. On 15 November 1777, the Second Continental Congreadopted the Articles of Confederation, the first of which stated "The Stile of this Confederacy shall be 'The United States of America.'"
The adjectival and demonymic forms for the United States are American, a point of controversy among some.

Now Christmas celebrations vary greatly between regions of the United States,because of the variety of nationalities which have settled in it.
In Pennsylvania,the Moravians build a landscape,called a putz - under the Christmas tree,while in the same state the Germans are given gifts by Belsnickle,who taps them with his switch if they have misbehaved.
Early European settlers brought many traditions to the United States.Many settled in the early days in the South,these settlers would send Christmas greetings to their distant neighbors by shooting firearms and letting off fireworks.In Hawaii this practice is still in use as under the sunny skies,Santa Claus arrives by boat and Christmas dinner is eaten outdoors.

美国英语作文 篇9
the united states covers a large part of the north american continent。 its neighbours are canada to the north, and mexico to the south。
when this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from engand, it had thirteen states。 each of the states was represented of the american flag by a star。 all these states were in the eastern part of the continent。 as the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new states appeared on the flag。 for a long time, there were 48 states。 in 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of alaska and hawaii。
indians were the first inhabitants of the land which is now the united states。 there are still many thousands of the descendants of these original inhabitants living in all parts of the country。 sometimes it is said that the indians are "the only real americans。"
most americans, however, are descendants of people who came from all over the world to find a new life in a new land。 those who came first and in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of north america were mostly from england。 it is for that reason that the language of the united states is english and that its culture and customs are more like those of england than of any other country in the world。
美国占去北美大陆很大一部分土地。它北邻加拿大,南接墨西哥。
这片土地刚从英国独立出来,成为一个国家的时候,只有十三个州,每个州在美国国旗上由一颗星来代表。这些州都在东部。当这个国家不断向西扩大,就增加了新的州,同时它们也出现在国旗上。很长一段时间,美国有48个州,可是,到1959年,国旗上又多了两颗星,分别代表阿拉斯加和夏威夷。
印地安人是如今叫做美国的这块土地上的最初居民。现在在全国各地仍然居住着许多这些原始居民的后裔。有时人们说印安人才是“真正的美国人”。
不过,大部分美国人是来自世界各地要在这个新世界里对找新生活的人的后代。那些最早大批来到北美东海岸建立家园的人大部来自英格兰,也是由于这个原因,美国的国语为英语,而它的文化习俗也与英国的更为相像。
