Explanation: When most people think of the United States, they think about the 50 states, but they often forget that other parts of the world are part of the United States, too.
解释：当大多数人想起美国时，他们想到的是那个拥有50个州的美国，而他们常常忘记了世界的其他地区也属于美国。
A U.S. territory is an area of land that belongs to the U.S. government but is not a state or the country's capital, Washington, DC.
美国的领地是属于美国政府的土地，但不是一个州或该国的首都华盛顿。
Right now there are five U.S. territories: Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam.
美国现在有五个领地：波多黎各、美属维尔京群岛、美属萨摩亚群岛、北马里亚那群岛和关岛。
Three of these territories — Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands — are islands in the Pacific Ocean.
这些领地中的三个——关岛、美属萨摩亚群岛和北马里亚那群岛——位于太平洋。
The other two territories — Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands — are islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
另外两个领地——波多黎各和美属维尔京群岛——位于大西洋。
Those territories are unincorporated, which means that the land belongs to the United States, but only certain parts of the U.S. Constitution (or the country's most important legal document) are applied to those territories.
这些领地是未整合的，也就是说这些土地属于美国，但只有某些条款的美国宪法（或该国最重要的法律文件）适用于这些领地。
The territories have to follow some parts of the Constitution, but they do not have to follow all of it.
这些领地得遵守宪法的部分条款，但它们不必遵守宪法的一切。
Let's take a look at what this means for one territory, Puerto Rico.
下面来看一看这对波多黎各这个领地意味着什么。
