原文及翻译

New Zealand is a country that is located in the South Pacific Ocean. The country is made up of two large islands, the North Island and the South Island, which are separated by a narrow channel of water. Although New Zealand has many beautiful mountains and forests, much of the land is used for farming. 

新西兰是一个位于南太平洋的国家。该国由两个大岛组成，即北岛和南岛，两岛之间由一条狭窄的水道隔开。虽然新西兰有许多美丽的山脉和森林，但大部分土地用于耕种。

In fact, New Zealand has almost 70 million sheep but only four million people. New Zealand's farms are also famous for their delicious fruit, especially apples and kiwi fruit. About 10% of the people who live in New Zealand belong to an ethnic group called the Maori. 

事实上，新西兰有近7000万只羊，但人口只有400万。新西兰的农场也以其美味的水果而闻名，尤其是苹果和猕猴桃。大约10%的新西兰人属于一个叫毛利人的民族。

The Maori came to New Zealand by boats from small Polynesian islands, they arrived about 1,000 years ago, and lived by farming, hunting, and fishing.

毛利人大约1000年前从波利尼西亚小岛乘船来到新西兰，靠耕种、狩猎和捕鱼为生。
