原文及翻譯
Today, California contains some of the largest cities in the United States. Within the greater Los Angeles area, one can find Hollywood, known as the movie capital of the world. Many rich people live in suburbs such as Beverly Hills, and many poor people live in other neighborhoods throughout the city.
如今,加州擁有美國一些最大的城市。在大洛杉磯地區(qū),可以找到被稱為世界電影之都的好萊塢。許多富人住在比弗利山等郊區(qū),許多窮人住在城市各處的其他街區(qū)。
The Los Angeles area is home to over 15 million people, many of whom have immigrated to the United States from Mexico and from many Asian countries. Los Angeles is a very large city that has spread across a great area. As a consequence, the city has many traffic jams, and air pollution, or smog is sometimes a problem. Further north is the city of San Francisco, one of the most beautiful cities in the United States.
洛杉磯地區(qū)有1500多萬人口,其中許多人從墨西哥和許多亞洲國家移民到美國。洛杉磯是一個非常大的城市,分布在很大的地區(qū)。因此,這座城市交通擁堵,空氣污染或煙霧有時是個問題。再往北是舊金山市,它是美國最美麗的城市之一。
The image of the Golden Gate Bridge, which crosses the harbor of San Francisco, is famous around the world. Also famous are the hilly streets of San Francisco and the trolley cars that provide transportation along them. San Francisco's Chinese community is one of the largest in North America, and the city also contains a vibrant artistic and cultural life.
橫跨舊金山港的金門大橋的形象舉世聞名。舊金山的丘陵街道和沿街提供交通的有軌電車也很有名。舊金山的華人社區(qū)是北美最大的社區(qū)之一,這座城市還擁有充滿活力的藝術和文化生活。
San Francisco was destroyed by an earthquake in 1906 and was damaged again in 1989. California has always had a special place in the imagination of Americans. This is hardly surprising, given the variety and diversity of this vast state.
舊金山在 1906 年的一場地震中被摧毀,1989 年又遭到破壞。加州在美國人的想象中一直占有特殊的地位??紤]到這個幅員遼闊、文化多元的州,這并不奇怪。
