旧金山景点英文

唐人街 ChinatownGrant Avenue和California Street交叉处为其中心形成，这里大约有八万余名华侨居住。这里所写的所听的都是汉语，所见的都十分有中国传统风格，宛然是一个小中国。唐人街具有自生活杂货至珍贵珠宝所有中国货，还保有传统餐饮及建筑穿着，游客尽可享受多彩多姿的中国文化。唐人街好去处是，如天后古庙（The Tin Hou Temple），旧金山好运饼干（Fortune Cookie：饼干里包着由议长写有吉祥话语的字条）工厂， Portsmouth广场等。Portsmouth广场，1839年原来以耶尔巴布埃纳镇的公共集会场开始，现在变成为华人集合场所，早晨可见练习太极拳的人们，夜晚可见玩扑克牌打麻将的人们。唐人街最引人注目的地方就是在Grant Avenue上坐落的唐人街大门口（Chinatown Gateway）。这是由Clayton Lee设计，建于1970年，其材料来自台湾和唐人街文化开发委员会捐助。其外，Grant Avenue和Stockton Street之间的唐人街胡同里，可见许多传统商店及餐厅和旧屋。唐人街到晚上十点左右还热闹，比其他地区安全。之外，从此朝北走一段距离，就可到达百老汇大街，这便是旧金山最佳夜生活地区。金门大桥 Golden Gate Bridge金门桥建于1937年，耗资3550万美元，是世界上最大的单孔吊桥之一，金门桥长达2780米，从海面到桥中心部的高度约为67.84米。桥两端有两座高达227米的塔。金门桥桔黄色的桥梁两端矗立着钢柱，用粗钢索相连，钢索中点下垂，几乎接近桥身，钢索和桥身用一根根细钢绳连接起来。整座金门桥显得朴素无华而又雄伟壮观。为了纪念设计者工程师史特劳斯，人们把他的铜像安放在桥畔。金门桥落成当天，有20万人兴高采烈地走过大桥来庆祝这个日子。今天金门桥是世界上最繁忙的桥梁之一，每天都约有10万辆汽车从桥上隆隆驶过。金门大桥是世界著名大桥之一，被誉为近代桥梁工程的一项奇迹。金门大桥的设计者是工程师史特劳斯，人们把他的铜像安放在桥畔，用以纪念他对美国作出的贡献。大桥雄峙于美国加利福尼亚州宽1900多米的金门海峡之上。金门海峡为旧金山海湾入口处，两岸陡峻，航道水深，为1579年英国探险家弗朗西斯德雷克发现，并由他命名。渔人码头 Fisherman's Wharf渔人码头过去曾是意大利渔夫的停泊码头，如今已是旧金山最热门的去处，终年热闹非凡。杰弗逊街和泰勒街交汇处的巨蟹标记是渔人码头的象征。各国观光客来到旧金山都要来这里享受一顿新鲜美味的海产宴。码头附近还有海洋公园博物馆等。渔人码头的标志是一个画有大螃蟹的圆形广告牌，找到了“大螃蟹”，就到了渔人码头，也就到了旧金山品尝海鲜的首选地点。渔人码头附近沿海盛产鲜美的螃蟹、虾、鲍鱼、枪乌贼、海胆、鲑鱼、鲭鱼和鳕鱼等海产，品尝海鲜的最佳时节是每年11月到次年6月之间。这时候来到渔人码头，人们可以吃到上好的丹金尼斯大海蟹（Dungeness Crab）。海鲜烹饪的方法很简单，红烧、椒盐这些会损害海鲜原味的做法都被白灼取代。没有了调味料的掩盖，海鲜的新鲜程度、肥嫩程度以及烹饪时的火候被体现得淋漓尽致，鲜美的程度难以言表。 九曲花街 Lombart Street 斜街是旧金山的一大特色。从浪巴街到利文街这一段是一个大下坡，市政当局为了防止交通事故，特意修筑花坛，车行至此，只能盘旋而下，时速不得超过5英里，这段街道因此有“世界上最弯曲的街道”之称。来到旧金山，游客大多要来这里考验一下自己的驾驶技术。车道两边的花坛里种满了玫瑰，街两边家家户户也都在门口养花种草，花开时节，远远望去，犹如一幅斜挂着的绒绣，美不胜收，“花街”的美名，因此而来。

旧金山介绍英文版San FranciscoSan Francisco, open your Golden Gate, sang the girl in the theatre. She never finished her song. The date was 18th April, 1906. The earth shook and the roof suddenly divided, buildings crashed to the ground and people rushed out into the streets. The dreadful earthquake destroyed the city that had grown up when men discovered gold in the deserts of California. But today the streets of San Francisco stretch over more than forty steep hills, rising like huge cliffs above the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.The best way to see this splendid city, where Spanish people were the first to make their homes, is to take one of the old cable cars which run along the nine main avenues. Fares are cheap; they have not risen, I'm told, for almost a hundred years.You leave the palm trees in Union Square --- the heart of San Francisco --- and from the shop signs and the faces around you, you will notice that in the city live people from many nations --- Austrians, Italians,Chinese and others --- giving each part a special character. More Chinese live in China Town than in any other part of the world outside China. Here, with Chinese restaurants, Chinese post-boxes, and even odd telephone-boxes that look like pagodas, it is easy to feel you are in China itself.Fisherman's Wharf, a place all foreigners want to see, is at the end of the ride. You get out, pause perhaps to help the other travellers to swing the cable car on its turntable (a city custom), and then set out to find a table in one of the gay little restaurants beside the harbour. As you enjoy the fresh Pacific sea food you can admire the bright red paint of the Golden Gate Bridge in the harbour and watch the traffic crossing beneath the tall towers on its way to the pretty village of Tiberon. When you've finished your meal, you may decide to take aboat-trip around the bay to look at the sights. You can stare, for example, at the famous, now empty, prison of Alcatraz. Then why not go to the fishing village of Sansalito --- a little like London's Chelsea or New York's Greenwich Village --- to see people painting and to look at their pictures. You will be able to enjoy a view of the city from the sea and take pleasure in the soft red and blue Spanish-type houses shining in the bright Pacific light. If you have time you might like to go by bus to Carmel, a hundred miles south of San Francisco, where you will discover a wild and wonderful coast with high cliffs.Although the people of San Francisco prefer riding to walking, you may like to climb up the steep streets. Handrails are provided so that you can pull yourself up. You can enjoy the splendid shops, the view from Telegraph Hill, the houses with fountains and garden: You can also look at the Stage Coach, a familiar sight from Western films, which is in the window of the Wells Fargo Bank in Montgomery Street, near the business centre of the city.(点击可看大图)I expect you'll notice that all over the city the cars are left with their wheels turned towards the side walk so that they can't roll away. Wherever you walk you'll find it hard to lose yourself. At most of the important crossings there is a plan of the streets (Lombard Street; Ohio Street; Market Street; and so on)cut into the stone of the sidewalk so that you can look down and see where you are.After so much walking you may feel tired and sticky and ready for a swim. There is often a thick morning mist from the sea in summer, but the weather can be very hot. Yet nobody swims in the Pacific. It is too risky. There are miles and miles of smooth hard sand, empty because of sharks --- those dreadful big man-eating fish --- and the high and dangerous waves of the sea. So take a street car from the city centre to the wonderful swimming pool on the edge of the ocean. Afterwards you can go to the neighbouring zoo.Later, while you wait to catch a street car returning to your hotel, you may even see the sign “Doggy Diner” --- a restaurant for dogs!But what about meals for people? As in most of the big cities, the restaurants offer delicious food from almost every country. You could have dinner in Chinatown and then, on the way back to your hotel, catch the last cable car after midnight: it's not unusual for passengers who arrive late to have to hang on to the sides of the last car for the whole journey.On Sundays parents often take their children to look at the strange trees in the pretty Japanese Tea Garden in the huge spaces of Golden Gate Park.With its hot sun and gay night life, San Francisco is a fine place to live in or to visit. It is the most European of all American cities and you'll be sure to grow fond of it instantly. So tell yourself in the words of a song from the last century, “San Francisco, here I come!”“旧金山，敞开你的金门吧!”剧院里的那位歌女演唱道。她没有唱完她的歌。这一天是1906年4月18日，大地震动，屋顶突然分裂，高楼大厦轰然坍倒，人们纷纷从屋里逃出，冲上街头。在加利福尼亚州沙漠里发现金矿后成长起来的这座城市，就这样被可怕的地震摧毁了。但时至今日，旧金山的街道四处延伸；遍布四十多座陡峭的小山，那些小山像悬崖峭壁般高耸于太平洋蓝色的海域之上。要游览这座西班牙人最早在此落户的灿烂的城市，最好的办法是乘坐穿越九条主要大街的旧式缆车。缆车取费低廉，据说近百年来一直没涨过价。联合广场是旧金山的中心，如果你离开广场的棕榈树，你就会根据店铺的招牌和周围人们的脸庞，注意到这座城市里居住着来自许多国家的人——奥地利人、意大利人、中国人和其他国家的人——这就使每一地段呈现出各自的特色。有许多中国人住在唐人街，其人数比中国本土之外世界其他任何地方的华人都多。这里有中国风味的餐馆、中国式的邮筒，甚至还有形如宝塔的奇异的电话亭。这种情况使你很容易感到仿佛是置身于中国境内了。国外游客都想访问一下缆车的终点站——渔民之埠。车抵终点站，你下车后，也可能会暂时停步，遵照当地的风俗，帮助其他游客推动转车台上的缆车，使之掉头转向，然后移步到码头旁边的一家装饰华丽的小饭馆里找一个座位坐下。当你品尝太平洋的海鲜时，你可以观赏海港里漆着鲜红颜色的金门大桥，观看林立的高塔下通往美丽的村庄“蒂伯龙”的交通线上络绎不绝的车辆。餐后，你可能决定乘坐游艇绕着海湾观赏风景。比如你可以凝视遐迩闻名但现已空无一人的阿尔卡特拉兹监狱。接着，你何不去游玩一下桑萨利托渔村呢?那里有点像伦敦的切尔西区，也有些象纽约的格林威治村。有些人在渔村里绘画，你不妨去看看，观赏一下他们的作品。那时你还可以从海上远眺市容，饱览在太平洋上明媚的阳光照耀下闪闪发光的色调柔和、红蓝色的西班牙式房屋。如果有时间，你也许还想坐公共汽车前往旧金山以南一百英里的卡梅尔。在那里你会发现一片峭壁高耸、荒凉但引人入胜的海岸。虽然旧金山人喜欢乘车代步，可是你也许会喜欢爬上坡度很大的街道。你可以抓住栏杆攀登，欣赏那些绚丽多彩的店铺，从电报山上眺望美景，饱览带有喷泉和花园的住宅。你还可以去看看陈列在韦尔斯法戈银行橱窗里的、在西部电影里常见的驿站马车，这家银行座落在靠近城市商业中心的蒙哥马利大街。我想你会注意到，全市的汽车在停靠时为了防止滑动，车轮总是向着人行道的。还有，你无论走到哪里，都不容易迷路。在大多数的主要交叉路口，都有一幅街道(朗巴德街、俄亥俄街、市场街等等)的详图刻在人行道的石头上。只要你低头看一下，就知道自己所在的位置了。长时间走动之后，你可能感到疲倦，很不舒服，想要游泳。这里的夏季清晨，海上往往吹来浓雾，但气候可能十分炎热。然而，谁也不敢在太平洋里游泳。那样太危险了。海边有连绵许多英里长的平坦坚硬的沙滩，渺无人迹，因为那里有吃人的凶猛可怕的大鲨鱼，还有海上卷起的汹涌巨浪。所以你还是从中心乘电车到太平洋岸边出色的游泳池去吧。嗣后，你可以逛一下附近的动物园。接着，在你等候电车回旅舍的时候，还可能会看到“狗饭店”的招牌——一家专门为狗服务的餐馆!�可是供应旅客的饭菜是什么呢?这里的餐馆和大多数大城市的餐馆一样，几乎世界各国的美味佳肴应有尽有。你不妨在唐人街就餐，饭后赶午夜以后的末班缆车返回旅舍，晚到的乘客常常不得不抓着末班缆车的车侧走完全程。每逢星期天，家长们往往带着孩子去参观金门公园占很大面积的美丽的日本茶场，观赏茶场里那些稀奇古怪的树木。旧金山白天骄阳当空，夜生活热闹繁华，是个适宜于居住和旅游的好地方。它是美国所有城市中最富欧洲色彩的一个城市，你肯定是会很快就喜爱它的。因此请你默念十九世纪一首歌曲中这样的词句吧：“旧金山，我到你的身边来了!”
