　　前言：马里兰州陆地面积的二分之一属大西洋海岸平原，南部是沙地，北部土地肥沃。该州跨大西洋的切萨皮克湾，海岸线长达3200英里。切萨皮克湾是一条宽而长的大溺谷，由南向北伸入内陆，把马里兰州分为东西两部分。切萨皮克湾南北长320公里，东西宽6-60公里，最深处可达105米。西岸大河有詹姆斯河及波托马克河。北部为湾头，有萨斯奎哈纳河注入。并有一条长30公里的运河，通过特拉华州北部直达特拉华河下游。

　　二、气候条件

　　Chesapeake Bay is the US's largest estuary. Separating Maryland from neighboring Virginia, it's one of the state's most-visited attractions. Tourists flock from all over the US and beyond to enjoy the bay's popular activities – fishing, crabbing, swimming, boating and sailing.Other natural attractions are the Piedmont Plateau, which features rolling hills, quarries and waterfalls, and the Appalachian Mountains, which combine forests, swamps, vineyards and farmland.Maryland's largest city is major sea port Baltimore, which shot to prominence in recent years as the setting for the hit US television series The Wire. However, the show's focus on the darker, poorer sides of the city belies the fact that Maryland's median income is among the highest in the US – and that another of its nicknames is simply 'Land of Pleasant Living'.

　　马里兰州的面积相对较小，它的一个别名是"迷你美国"。马里兰州位于美国南北两州交界处的梅森-迪克西线之下，它的特点是两边都具有典型的分水岭，同时还有各种美丽的风景。你在马里兰找不到的那种美国风景是沙漠--简直太湿了!除了巨大的切萨皮克湾，它还有近50条河流和小溪，还有小溪、湖泊、池塘--当然还有大西洋。

　　切萨皮克湾是美国最大的河口。将马里兰与邻近的弗吉尼亚分开，它是该州最受欢迎的景点之一。游客们从美国各地蜂拥而来，尽情享受海湾的流行活动--钓鱼、捕蟹、游泳、划船和航海。其他的自然景观是皮埃蒙特高原，这里有起伏的山丘、采石场和瀑布，还有阿巴拉契亚山脉，它融合了森林、沼泽、葡萄园和农田。马里兰州最大的城市是巴尔的摩的主要海港，近年来作为美国电视连续剧《连线》(the Wire)的背景，它一举成名。然而，该节目的焦点是城市的黑暗、贫穷的一面，这掩盖了马里兰州收入中值是美国最高的一个事实，而它的另一个别名就是"舒适的生活之地"

　　三、马里兰的顶尖大学

　　Maryland is home to one of the US's most prestigious universities, John Hopkins University, which is ranked 16 in the 2011/12 QS World University Rankings.

　　John Hopkins ranks even higher in the subject rankings for medicine (8th), biological sciences (13th), reflecting the state's strong reputation in the fields of life sciences and biotechnology.

　　The state's largest university is the University of Maryland, based in the city of College Park, which is very close to the US's federal capital, Washington, D.C.

　　马里兰州是美国最负盛名的大学之一，约翰霍普金斯大学，在2011 /12 QS世界大学排名中排名16位。约翰·霍普金斯大学在医学(第8)学科的学科排名中甚至更高，这反映了该州在生命科学和生物技术领域的良好声誉。该州最大的大学是位于美国联邦首都华盛顿特区的马里兰大学。
