问题 To the west and off the European Continent (欧洲大陆), there are several thousands of islands on the Continent shelf.  They are generally called Great Britain.  For the convenience’s sake, it is often shortened to Britain. Still to the west of Great Britain is the second largest island known as Ireland. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) is made up of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and a number of smaller islands around them. The total area of the country is some 240 000 square kilometers with a population of about 56 million.
选项
答案欧洲大陆西侧大陆架上分布着几千个岛屿，这些岛屿统称为“不列颠群岛”。群岛中最大的一个叫大不列颠岛，方便起见，人们通常称之为不列颠。大不列颠岛再往西是第二大岛，即爱尔兰岛。大不列颊和北爱尔兰联合王国(英国)是由大不列颠岛、北爱尔兰岛以及它们周围很多小岛组成的。英国国土面积约24万平方公里，人口5600万。
解析 本题是一段说明性的文字，主要介绍英国的岛屿、位置、面积以及人口。翻译时要注意以下的词和短语：to the west意为“在……西边(紧靠着)”；Continent Shelf意为“大陆架”；for the convenience’s sake意为“方便起见”；be made up of意为“由……组成”。
