90.What ocean is on the East Coast of the United States?
90.什么洋位于美国的东海岸？
Answer: Atlantic (Ocean)
答案：大西（洋）
Explanation: The east coast of the United States, or the part of the United States that touches the Atlantic Ocean, is also called the Eastern Seaboard or the Atlantic Seaboard.
解释：美国的东海岸，或美国与大西洋相连的部分，也被称为东部沿海地区或大西洋沿海地区。
The Eastern Seaboard is the place where the United States began.
东部沿海地区是美国的诞生地。
When Europeans crossed the Atlantic Ocean, they settled (or built homes and began to live) on the east coast.
当欧洲人横渡大西洋后，他们在东海岸定居（或建造家园并开始生活）了下来。
Over time, many of the settlements (or new places where they built homes and lived) grew, becoming some of the large cities that are still on the Eastern Seaboard today.
久而久之，许多定居点（或他们建造家园和生活的新地方）扩大了，成为一些至今仍在东部沿海地区的大城市。
Other settlements failed when the people living there died or moved to other places.
当生活在其他定居点的人死亡或搬到其他地方时，这样的定居点就消亡了。
But one settlement is different because nobody knows what happened to it.
但是其中一个定居点却不一样，因为没有人知道它出了什么事。
This was the famous settlement called the Roanoke Colony; a colony is an area of land that belongs to a country (in this case, England), but is far away from it.
它就是名叫罗阿诺克殖民地的著名定居点；殖民地是属于一个国家（在这里是英国），但距离这个国家很远的土地。
An Englishman named Walter Raleigh wanted to establish (or create) the first English colony in North America on Roanoke Island, which is now part of North Carolina. Two groups of people tried to live there, but they failed.
一位名叫沃尔特·雷利的英国人想要在北美洲的罗阿诺克岛上建立（或创立）第一个英国殖民地，该岛现在属于北卡罗来纳州。两群人试图在那里生活，但他们都失败了。
