參考譯文
新加坡是坐落在馬來西亞南面的一個小島的名字。它同樣也是這個島南邊的一個城市的名字。新加坡是世界最大的港口之一。來自世界各地的貨物從此地經(jīng)過。島上大部分地方的氣候都是濕熱的。這里可以耕種的地方都種植著水果、蔬菜和橡膠。
馬來西亞在地圖上正好處在新加坡的上方。它是一個重要的水運中心。世界各地所用的許多橡膠都是來自馬來西亞。茂密的叢林覆蓋了這個國家的許多地方。在這塊可耕的土地很少的地方，人們主要種植水稻。
印度在緬甸的西邊。它是世界上第七大國。除了中國外，它的人口比其他任何國家都要多。印度有沙漠、叢林、平原和群山。所用語言約有180種。在印度人的農(nóng)場里，種植著小麥、蔬菜、稻子和其他作物。但是他們生產(chǎn)的糧食無法養(yǎng)活印度所有的人口。
