New Zealand consists of two large islands and some small islands, among which the two large islands, the North Island and the South Island, are separated by “Cook Strait”. New Zealand has a climate similar to that of the northwester coast of North America because it is located in the belt of western winds. It is mild in summer while it is cool and rather stormy in winter. Temperatures don't often fall below freezing in the lowlands. The pastures (牧场) remain green all year round so that people like to spend much time in the open air. The uplands of both main islands have permanent (永久的) snow fields which provide fine ski areas. The greatest rainfall occurs on the South Island. More than 7 , 600 millimeters fall in Fiordland (地名:费奥兰) each year. In New Zealand several large cities have more than 100, 000 people while a number of other cities have more than 25, 000 people. Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, stands on hills surrounding Port Nicholson at the south end of the North Island. Auckland is the largest port city in New Zealand, which has two harbors, Waitermata (地名:维特马塔) on the Pacific side and Manukall (地名:曼努卡) on the Tasman Sea. The largest city on the South Island is Christchurch, which is famous for the great number of bicycles. Rail and automobile connect Christchurch to its port at Lyttelton ( 地名:莱特尔顿), Lyttelton handles exports of wool and frozen meat and receives shipments of machinery and other manufactured goods.
