- 1美洲（北美、中美、南美合稱）。和「美國」不是同一個意思：美國是那個國家，美洲是整片大陸。
The Americas means North America, Central America, and South America taken together — the whole land from Canada down through Mexico and the Caribbean to Chile and Argentina. We say the Americas (always with the, and a capital A) when we mean that group of continents, not one country. Though actually, in everyday English America often means the United States, which is why this plural is so useful: it stops that mix-up. , news writers, and history books use it a lot. You may also hear the American continents. It is a place-name for a huge region, not a political union and not another word for “Americans” (the people).
組成The plural of America. The -s makes it mean all the American continents together, not a single country.
