参考译文
新加坡是坐落在马来西亚南面的一个小岛的名字。它同样也是这个岛南边的一个城市的名字。新加坡是世界最大的港口之一。来自世界各地的货物从此地经过。岛上大部分地方的气候都是湿热的。这里可以耕种的地方都种植着水果、蔬菜和橡胶。
马来西亚在地图上正好处在新加坡的上方。它是一个重要的水运中心。世界各地所用的许多橡胶都是来自马来西亚。茂密的丛林覆盖了这个国家的许多地方。在这块可耕的土地很少的地方，人们主要种植水稻。
印度在缅甸的西边。它是世界上第七大国。除了中国外，它的人口比其他任何国家都要多。印度有沙漠、丛林、平原和群山。所用语言约有180种。在印度人的农场里，种植着小麦、蔬菜、稻子和其他作物。但是他们生产的粮食无法养活印度所有的人口。
