Long island意思
"Long Island" is the name of a large island located in southeastern New York State, in the northeastern United States. It is the longest and largest island in the contiguous United States, stretching approximately 118 miles (190 kilometers) from its northernmost to southernmost points. Long Island is separated from the mainland by the Long Island Sound to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south and east.
The island is generally divided into two main parts:
- Nassau County, which is located in the western part of the island, and
- Suffolk County, which occupies the eastern part of the island.
Long Island is known for its affluent communities, beautiful beaches, and historic sites. It is a popular residential area for people who work in New York City, which is accessible via various bridges and tunnels. The island is also home to several major airports, including John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Long Island MacArthur Airport.
The term "Long Island" can refer to the entire island, including both Nassau and Suffolk Counties, or it can be used more narrowly to refer to specific regions or communities within the island.
