许多美国人惊讶地发现，两国大陆部分之间的距离约为88公里，不仅如此，阿拉斯加和俄罗斯之间还有两个小岛，称为大迪奥米德和小迪奥米德。Many Americans are surprised to learn that the distance between the continental part of the two countries is about 88 kilometers, and not only that, there are two small islands between Alaska and Russia, known as Big Diomid and Little Diomid.
大迪奥米德属于俄罗斯，小迪奥米德属于美国。Big Diomid belongs to Russia and Little Diomid belongs to the United States.
这两个岛屿之间的距离仅 4 公里，并且在冬季会结冰，因此从技术上讲，从美国步行
到俄罗斯，反之亦然，穿越这片季节性结冰的海洋是可行的。The distance between these two islands is only 4 kilometers and it freezes over in the winter, so it is technically possible to walk from the US to Russia and vice versa across this seasonally frozen sea.
反对从墨西哥移民到美国的人提醒我们，尽管边境很近，但根本没有移民从俄罗斯流向美国。Opponents of migration to the U.S. from Mexico remind us that there is no flow of migrants from Russia to the U.S. at all, despite the proximity of the borders.
突然...是的，我们是邻居。Suddenly... yes, we're neighbors.
