A landlocked country or region sits entirely inside the land: other countries wrap around it, and it has no coast of its own, so no harbour on the open sea. Switzerland and Austria are the classroom examples in Europe; Paraguay and Bolivia in South America. The word is a geography word first, a little formal, and very common in textbooks and news about trade — because with no coast, you must send goods through somebody else's ports.

A landlocked country or region sits entirely inside the land一個landlocked的國家或地區完全被包在陸地裡面 other countries wrap around it其他國家把它包圍起來 and it has no coast of its own, so no harbour on the open sea所以它自己沒有海岸，也就沒有面對外海的港口 Switzerland and Austria are the classroom examples in Europe瑞士和奧地利是歐洲課本上常舉的例子 Paraguay and Bolivia in South America南美洲則是巴拉圭和玻利維亞 The word is a geography word first, a little formal這個字首先是個地理用詞，有點正式 and very common in textbooks and news about trade在課本和關於貿易的新聞裡很常見 because with no coast, you must send goods through somebody else's ports因為沒有海岸，貨物就必須經過別國的港口

Though actually people stretch it a little: a landlocked lake has no river out to the ocean, and landlocked salmon live in fresh water and never go to sea. The picture is the same: shut in by land.

Though actually people stretch it a little不過實際上大家會把它用得寬一點 a landlocked lake has no river out to the oceanlandlocked的湖沒有河流通到海洋 and landlocked salmon live in fresh water and never go to sealandlocked的鮭魚一輩子住在淡水裡，從不去海裡 The picture is the same: shut in by land畫面是一樣的：被陸地關住

It does not mean the land is locked with a key, or that you are not allowed in. And a country with a coast on an inland sea that never reaches the ocean can still be argued over; the tidy school answer is ‘no coastline on the open sea.’

It does not mean the land is locked with a key它不是指陸地被用鑰匙鎖起來 or that you are not allowed in也不是說不准你進去 And a country with a coast on an inland sea that never reaches the ocean can still be argued over而一個國家如果海岸只面向一個到不了外海的內陸海，這種情況還是會有爭議 the tidy school answer is 'no coastline on the open sea.'課本上乾淨的答案是「沒有面向外海的海岸線」
