[主題詞] Micronesia
[英文釋義] The collective name for islands of the Pacific Ocean east of the Philippines,including the Mariana,PALAU,Caroline,Marshall,and Kiribati Islands. Micronesia is from the Greek micro,small + nesos,island,so named because the islands in this group are much smaller than those in MELANESIA. Micronesia is inhabited by a mixed race of Melanesians,Polynesians,and some Malaysians. (From Webster's New Geographical Dictionary,1988,p761 & Room,Brewer's Dictionary of Names,1992,p350)
