Answer 1

Netherlands
A country of northwest Europe on the North Sea. Inhabited by Germanic tribes during Roman times, the region passed to the Franks (4th-8th century), the Holy Roman Empire (10th century), the dukes of Burgundy (14th-15th century), and then to the house of Hapsburg. The northern part of the region formed the Union of Utrecht in 1579 and achieved its independence as the United Provinces in 1648 after the Thirty Years' War. In the 17th century the country enjoyed great commercial prosperity and expanded its territories in the East and West Indies and elsewhere, although it lost this supremacy to Great Britain and France in the 18th century. The kingdom of the Netherlands, proclaimed at the Congress of Vienna (1814-1815), included Belgium until 1830. Amsterdam is the constitutional capital and the largest city; The Hague is the seat of government. Population, 14,394,600.
荷兰：欧洲西北部、北海边的一个国家。罗马时代曾在这一地区居住着日耳曼部落，后先后传给法兰克人(4-8世纪）、圣罗马帝国(10世纪）、勃根第公爵(14-15世纪），然后传到哈布斯堡家族。本地区北部于1579年形成乌得勒支联盟，在“30年战争”后，1648年作为省联邦而获独立。17世纪，这个国家拥有巨大的经济财富，并在东、西印度群岛和其它地方扩张了领土，虽然18世纪它在大不列颠和法兰西失去了这种至高无上的权威。1830年以前，按照维也纳会议上(1814-1815年）的规定，比利时还属荷兰王国。阿姆斯特丹是宪法首都及最大的城市；黑格是政府所在地。人口14,394,600

Answer 2

Although they're small, each of these three countries contains a diversity of culture, language, and tradition that defies easy definition. Belgium is fractured along the age-old European great divide between the Germanic north and the Latin south. This division is expressed in the constant regional bickering between Dutch-speaking Flanders and French-speaking Wallonia that threatens to split the country entirely.

Holland (the Netherlands) has its great divide, too, along the "three great rivers" -- the Maas, the Waal, and the Rhine. The northerners are straitlaced and Calvinist and (to hear the southerners say it) only know what to do with a glass of beer because they've been shown by the exuberant, Catholic southerners. Then there's the matter of nations within the nation. Friesland, Zeeland, and Limburg have their notions of separateness and their own languages to back them up.

As for Luxembourg, you'd think a country so small that -- even on a big map -- its name can't fit within its borders would be simpler. Not a bit. Luxembourgers are such a mixed bag that they're still trying to sort out the mess left behind when the Germanic tribes overran the Roman Empire's Rhine defenses in A.D. 406.

Diversity is the greatest asset of the Benelux countries. The visitor from afar may be more impressed by their shared characteristics, which include a determined grasp on the good life, than by the differences that separate them.
