“欧洲大陆”常见的英语表达是 “the European continent” 或简称为 “Continental Europe”(不过“Continental Europe”更侧重于指除英国等岛屿国家之外的欧洲大陆部分,在特定语境中使用;而“the European continent” 表述更为通用和直接)。
例如:
Many tourists are attracted to the European continent every year.(每年都有许多游客被欧洲大陆所吸引。)
There are significant cultural differences between the UK and the European continent.(英国和欧洲大陆之间存在着显著的文化差异。 )
