15个罕见怪异的地理趣闻据国外媒体报道,我们的地球上充满各种非常奇怪的地理、地质现象以及神秘事件。
因为这种事情实在太多了,因此我们可能永远也无法彻底揭开自然界隐藏的所有谜底。
以下是15个与地理、地质和地球有关的非常罕见也非常怪异的事实。
1.被世所承认的世界第二长的地名是“Taumatawhakatangihangak oauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhe nuakitanatahu)”,一共由85个字母组成,是新西兰的一座山名。
这是个毛利短语,大意是:“大膝盖的男人塔玛提亚,他滑山、爬山、吞山,以蚕食土地而闻名,海洋和大地旅行者,他在这里对他心爱的人吹响笛子”。
以前它是世界上最长的地名,直到最近,这项殊荣才被泰国的“Krungthep maha nakorn amorn ratana kosinmahintar ayutthay amaha dilok phop nopparatrajathani burirom udom rajaniwesmahasat harn amorn phimarn avatarn sathitsakkattiyavisanukamprasit”所取代,这个泰文名称由163个字母组成。
但这个纪录尚未列入吉尼斯世界纪录大全,在大全中,新西兰这座山的名字仍是世界最长的地名。
2.莱索托、梵蒂冈和圣马力诺是世界上为数不多的几个完全被其他国家包围的国中国。
莱索托完全被南非包围,梵蒂冈和圣马力诺都被意大利完全包围。
3. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch)是世界上最长的村名,而且在世界地名长度排名中位居第三。
该村位于威尔士。
4.世界上最短的地名只有一个字母(见图),该地位于瑞典和挪威之间。
在斯堪的内维亚语中,这个字母是“河流”的意思。
图片中显示的是这个地区最近新换的交通标志,这里的路标因为非常新颖独特,具有收藏价值,因此经常被盗。
西洋番国志哪一国没有被记录西洋番国指的是欧洲中世纪和近代时期期间,由欧洲人发现、殖民或控制的非欧洲国家。
这些国家通常在欧洲历史和地理中被广泛描述和记载,但也有一些国家在记录中被忽略或很少提及。
然而,或许由于历史文献的有限性,我们无法确知是否存在一国完全没有被记录。
然而,以下列举了一些历史上被较少记录的西洋番国:1. 摩尔多瓦(Moldova):摩尔多瓦位于欧洲东部巴尔干半岛,历史上曾被奥斯曼帝国、俄罗斯帝国和罗马尼亚等国家统治。
由于被这些邻国的政治争端所笼罩,摩尔多瓦的历史很少受到独特的关注和纪录。
2. 摩纳哥(Monaco):摩纳哥位于法国南部,是欧洲最小的独立国家之一、虽然其地理位置对贸易和海上运输非常重要,但摩纳哥的历史纪录却相对较少。
3. 列支敦士登(Liechtenstein):列支敦士登是位于欧洲中部的一个微型国家。
尽管它是世界上最小的君主国之一,但关于列支敦士登的历史纪录仍然相当有限。
4. 卢森堡(Luxembourg):卢森堡位于欧洲西部,与比利时、法国和德国相邻。
尽管其地理位置战略重要,但卢森堡的历史并没有像其他邻国一样受到广泛关注和纪录。
5. 摩纳哥(Monaco):摩纳哥位于地中海的弗朗西海岸,是世界上最小的君主国家之一、尽管其地理位置对贸易和海上交通至关重要,但摩纳哥的历史和国家发展却没有得到像其他邻国一样的广泛关注。
6. 圣马力诺(San Marino):圣马力诺位于意大利半岛中部,是世界上最古老且最小的共和国之一、尽管圣马力诺拥有独特的政治体制,但其历史和文化却相对较少被纪录。
7. 安道尔(Andorra):安道尔位于西南欧洲的比利牛斯山脉,是一个微型国家。
尽管它的地理位置对旅游业非常重要,但安道尔的历史和文化却相对较少为人所知。
需要指出的是,纪录的不足并不意味着这些国家没有历史或重要性。
这可能是因为历史学家和研究者对这些国家的关注度有限,或者因为历史文献中对这些国家的相关记录较少,从而导致它们的历史与其他更为知名的国家相比知名度较低。

Hello,欢迎来到环球冷知识~世界那么有趣,当然要看看。
这一期我们来说意大利,这个诞生了文艺复兴的欧洲古国,有哪些奇特的冷知识呢?Italy ['itəli] 意大利1 号称“欧洲的中国”是的,意大利有这么个别称,因为意大利和中国在很多方面都很像。
要说这一点,首先当然得说说意大利的首都——罗马 Rome曾几何时,罗马帝国和东方的中华帝国就是整个欧亚大陆的两个中心,罗马就是欧洲世界的制高点,就像同时代的中国是东方的制高点。
除此之外,意大利在文化和生活方面也和中国有相似之处。
比如,意大利人和中国人一样喜欢热闹,所以在西欧人眼中显得比较吵。
再比如,两个国家都热衷于吃面食。
2 华人数量非常大,而且生意做得好意大利的华人数量挺大的,而且他们在意大利的经济当中起着重要的作用。
这些华人有的开工厂,有的开餐馆,有的开超市;在米兰,浙江人开的小超市就有600多家。
在全意大利,华人光是服装厂就开了6000多家,基本都是给意大利奢侈品代工。
有人戏称意大利是浙江温州皮革厂海外大本营。
现在的意大利,如果没有华人经营的这些产业,它的经济增长得少掉30%之多。
正像意大利媒体报道的那样:曾经的意大利华人一无所有;而现在,他们已经在这扎下了根,并为意大利的年轻人创造着谋生的机会。
另外,在意大利的大城市,珍珠奶茶挺常见的:所以中国人去了米兰一类的城市可能会意外地感到亲切。
3 国境内包着另外4个国家意大利的国土很神奇,里面嵌套着另外4个国家。
也有的说法是2个,因为另外2个的性质比较复杂。
这其中最出名的当然就是教皇所在的梵蒂冈城 Vatican City梵蒂冈的面积是0.44平方公里,只有上海浦东国际机场的一半,小得很彻底。
意大利境内的另外3个国家分别是圣马力诺共和国、塞波加大公国、马耳他骑士团。
There are four independent states within Italy: the Republic of San Marino (25 square miles) , the Vatican City (just 108.7 acres), the Principality of Seborga (just one village) and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (just 2 buildings). Italy’s San Marino is the world’s oldest republic (A.D. 301), has f ewer than 30,000 citizens, and holds the world’s oldest continuous constitution. Its citizens are called the Sammarinese.意大利境内有四个独立的国家:圣马力诺共和国(25平方英里)、梵蒂冈城(仅108.7英亩)、塞波加大公国(只有一个村子)以及马耳他骑士团(只有两栋建筑)。
Oceania大洋洲1Australia 澳大利亚英文缩写:AUSIt is the world's sixth-largest country by total area. This country has the mostbeautiful natural view. But very dry.澳大利亚的面积居世界第六位、自然景观非常美丽但十分干燥。

圣马力诺没有红绿灯圣马力诺没有红绿灯圣马力诺是一个欧洲小国家,位于意大利和亚得里亚海之间的阿尔卑斯山脉上。
它是世界上最小的共和国之一,也是世界上最古老的共和国之一。
它是一个有趣的国家,因为它没有红绿灯。
在圣马力诺,我们可以看到很多行人和汽车在没有任何信号指示的情况下在道路上行驶。
那么为什么圣马力诺不使用红绿灯呢?历史首先,我们需要了解圣马力诺的历史。
它成立于4世纪,并在公元301年正式成为一个共和国。
圣马力诺是由几个村庄组成的,它们围绕着圣马力诺山形成。
这座山也是现代圣马力诺共和国的标志性建筑。
古代的圣马力诺司法机构里通常只有少数人,因此这些人通常都认识彼此,互相信任。
这样的古老的传统在今天依然保留着,使得圣马力诺的居民享有高度的人际互信。
在这种氛围下,红绿灯作为交通信号便不再必要。
交通流量较小一个显然的原因是圣马力诺交通流量相对较小。
由圣马力诺的山地环境,圣马力诺的道路并不是平坦的,通常较为狭窄。
圣马力诺的总人口也比许多其他国家的一个城市人口都少。
因此,交通流量小的结果是,交通事故的可能性较小。
通过道路和人行道上的标记指示交通圣马力诺的一条路标示:在圣马力诺,机动车辆必须在通过十字路口前放慢车速,以避免碰撞。
如果多辆车同时到达十字路口,那么过路权一般是按照“谁先到达谁先行”的原则。
行人通过十字路口的方法也很简单,只要确保道路上没有车辆就可以直接通过。
此外,圣马力诺所有的道路都有标志和行人过马路的标记,这也提醒行人和车辆的司机遵守规则,安全通行。
警察和其他执法部门的严格监管圣马力诺的警察和其他执法部门也在积极监管道路安全问题,他们会对道路上的违法行为进行处罚,为居民和游客提供了更安全的交通环境,从而减少道路交通事故的发生。
交通事故率低总得来说,圣马力诺没有红绿灯,也没有其他常用的交通信号灯,促使居民和驾驶员遵守道路安全规则和交通规则。
尽管道路和行人标记和标识有时比红绿灯更具明确性,交通事故率也更低。
