地理位置
Geographical Location
奧地利位於中歐的內陸國家，北接德國及捷克、東鄰斯洛伐克及匈牙利、南接斯洛維尼亞及義大利、西鄰瑞士及列支敦士登。由於阿爾卑斯山的存在，貫穿奧地利的中東部，北部及南部，使奧地利成為一個山地國。奧地利首都為座落於多瑙河邊的維也納，同時也是最大的城市。
Austria is a landlocked country in Central Europe. It is bordered by Slovakia and Hungary to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west. Because the Alps run through the center, east, north and south of Austria, Austria is a mountainous country.
