Para.1: Today was my first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley. I have to admit that it definitely feels good to be back in the city again. And what a city—a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906. There are so many beautiful old buildings—many sitting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
在红杉林露营并参观了纳帕谷酒乡后,今天是我回到旧金山的第一天。我得承认,再次回到城里的感觉实在是太棒了。多么神奇的一座城市啊——一座1906年(发生)大地震之后重建的城市。这里有众多美丽的古建筑——不少坐落于大山之巅,城市、大海和金门大桥美景尽收眼底。
