美洲的命名，普遍的说法是为纪念意大利的一位名叫阿美利哥·维斯普西（Amerigo Vespucci）的著名航海家。意大利的商人和制图师，探索了南美洲的东海岸和加勒比海地区，他最早意识到哥伦布发现的“印度”是一块新的大陆并绘制了新大陆的地图。他的名字用拉丁文写就是：Americus Vespucius。因为其他大陆用的名字都是女性化的拉丁语。所以，Americus就变成了女性化的拉丁语：America。
The naming of the Americas was done in honor of the famous Italian navigator, merchant and cartographer, Amerigo Vespucci. He explored the east coast of South America and the Caribbean.He realized that when Columbus“discovered India”that is was actually a new continent,and proceeded to make maps of the New World.His name is written in Latin as Americus Vespucius.The other continents had feminine Latin names,So Americus was changed to its feminine Latin form:America

乌拉圭东岸共和国，简称乌拉圭。位于南美洲的东南部，北邻巴西，西接阿根廷，东南濒大西洋。属温带气候，以优美自然风光和安定社会环境，获誉为“南美瑞士”；又因其形似宝石而又盛产紫晶石，获誉为“钻石之国”。乌拉圭为移民国家，白人占91.0%，大多为意大利、西班牙、德国和其他欧洲国家移民的后裔。印欧混血种人占4.9%，黑人占4%。多信奉天主教。官方语言是西班牙语。首都为蒙得维的亚。
The Oriental Republic of Uruguay is located in the southeast of South America. It borders Brazil to the north and east, Argentina to the west and the Atlantic ocean to the southeast. It is known as the "South American Switzerland" because of its temperate climate, beautiful natural scenery and stable social environment. It is also known as the“Diamond Country”because it is shaped like a gem and is rich in purple amethysts. Uruguay is an immigrant country with 91.0% Caucasian, mostly descendants of immigrants from Italy, Spain, Germany and other European countries. Indo-European mixed races accounted for 4.9% and blacks for 4%.The most common religion is Catholicism, the official language is Spanish and the capital is Montevideo.
我们眼中的乌拉圭，好像整个国家都坐落在绿茵球场，翻翻新闻，一大半都和足球有关。也难怪，梅西婚礼上被报道在现场演出的Márama和Rombai两支乌拉圭乐队，拉近了更多西语世界之外的球迷或者梅西粉，与乌拉圭音乐之间的距离。
To us Uruguay looks like the whole country is situated in a green soccer field. If you read the news there, half of it is related to football. It's no wonder that Marama and Rombai, two Uruguayan bands who were reportedly performing live at Messi's wedding, have brought more fans, or Messi fans, outside of the Spanish-speaking world closer to Uruguay's music.
