二、气候条件

　The US’s north-easternmost state, Maine is nicknamed the Pine Tree State, and it isn’t hard to guess why; almost 90% of its area is forested.Add to this a dramatic, jagged coastline stretching up towards Canada and the spectacular mountainous terrain of the Acadia National Park, and it’s clear that Maine is a nature-lover’s paradise.However, you’d be mistaken if you imagined all of the state’s residents tucked up in log cabins and lighthouses; Maine also has some of the region’s most desirable urban destinations.

　Probably chief among these is Portland (not to be confused with Portland, Oregon). Maine’s largest city, Portland is a working port, and is known as the state’s creative and cultural hub.In Forbes magazine’s 2009 list of America’s Most Livable Cities, Portland took the number one spot, thanks to its all-round strong performance on criteria including employment rate, crime rate, cost of living, income growth and cultural activity.Portland has also been named a Distinctive Destinations by the US National Trust for Historic Preservation, along with two other historic port cities in Maine – Bath and Rockland.While much of Maine’s coastline is rough and rocky, it does have around 30 miles of sandy beaches, including the beautiful seven-mile Old Orchard Beach.

　美国最北的州，缅因州别名“松树州”，不难猜测原因：几乎90%的地区都被森林覆盖。再加上一条曲折的海岸线向加拿大延伸，还有阿卡迪亚国家公园壮丽的山地地形，很明显缅因州是大自然爱好者的天堂。然而，如果你想象所有的州居民都住在木屋和灯塔里，那你就错了;缅因州也有一些该地区最理想的城市目的地。其中最重要的可能是波特兰(不要和俄勒冈州的波特兰混淆)。缅因州最大的城市波特兰是一个工作港口，被认为是该州的创意和文化中心。在《福布斯》杂志2009年的美国最宜居城市排行榜中，波特兰名列榜首，这得益于其在就业、犯罪率、生活成本、收入增长和文化活动等标准方面的全面强劲表现。波特兰也被美国国家历史保护信托基金命名为一个独特的目的地，还有两个位于缅因州的历史港口城市——巴斯和罗克兰。虽然缅因州的大部分海岸线崎岖不平，但它有大约30英里的沙滩，包括美丽的七英里长的果园海滩。

　三、缅因州的顶尖大学

　The University of Maine (UMaine) is the flagship institution of the University of Maine System.Based in the town of Orono, it had a total of 11,168 students enrolled as of the start of the 2011/12 academic year – of which 8,271 were enrolled on undergraduate courses.The most popular undergraduate majors are those offered at the university’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, followed by majors at the College of Natural Sciences, Forestry and Agriculture.

　UMaine also has a Business School, College of Education and Human Development, College of Engineering and Division of Lifelong Learning.The University of Maine System also includes the University of Maine at Augusta, University of Maine at Farmington, University of Maine at Fort Kent, University of Maine at Machias, University of Maine at Presque Isle, and the University of Southern Maine (campuses in Portland, Gorham and Lewiston).Maine also has a number of community (two-year) colleges, as well as a large private sector. The latter includes the University of New England (UNE), which has its main campus in Biddeford, a coastal town towards the south of the state.UNE has a particular focus on subjects relating to healthcare, and also marine sciences. It has four centers of excellence for research and scholarship: the Centre for Community and Public Health, Centre for Global Humanities, Center for Excellence in the Neurosciences, and Centre for Land-Sea Interactions.
