我在英文杂志中介绍地址的时候出现了the Americas,把国家名称前面加冠词后面加复数是什么意思?

Answer 1

别漏了“中美洲”.美洲分为北美洲、中美洲和南美洲.见下面解释：
America [for Amerigo Vespucci],the lands of the Western Hemisphere—North America,Central (or Middle) America,and South America.The world map published in 1507 by Martin Waldseemüller is the first known cartographic use of the name.In English,America and American are frequently used to refer only to the United States.
