亚平宁山脉

世界上最小的共和国；欧洲最古老的独立国家；位于亚平宁山脉，完全被意大利环抱。

The smallest republic in the world ; the oldest independent country in Europe ; located in the Apennines and completely surrounded by Italy .

亚平宁山脉（Apenninemountains）构成了半岛的骨架，向西北方向一直延伸到阿尔卑斯山脉，然后形成弧状从北方围绕着这个国家。

The Apennine mountains form the backbone of this peninsula , leading north-west to where they join the Alps , the mountain range that then forms an arc enclosing Italy from the north .

同时也有一个大的冲积平原，波河-威尼斯平原，被波河和它的许多支流冲积而成，这些河流来自于阿尔卑斯山脉、亚平宁山脉和道罗迈特（Dolomites）。

Here is also found a large alluvial plain , the Po-Venetian plain , drained by the Po River and its many tributaries flowing down from the Alps , Apennines and Dolomites .

绿色和平此次发难之前，该组织的科学家今年在世界各地高海拔湖泊的水体中发现了微量的全氟化合物（PFC），其中包括意大利中部亚平宁山脉的皮拉托湖（LagodiPilato）。

The attack by Greenpeace came after its scientists this year found traces of perfluorinated chemicals ( PFCs ) in the waters of high-altitude lakes around the world , including the Lago di Pilato in the Apennine mountain range of central Italy .
