The famous food in Chinatown
The Chinatown in San Francisco is the biggest in America, and also the oldest. It is a very popular tourist draw that receives more visitors each year than even the Golden Gate Bridge. The climate is mild all year round, meaning it is always a good time to visit.
旧金山的唐人街是美国最大的,也是最古老的。这是一个非常受欢迎的旅游景点,每年接待的游客甚至比金门大桥还要多。气候全年温和,这意味着它总是一个旅游的好时机。
Para1 Introduction The characteristic (特点) of Chinatown
Historically, Chinese immigrants settled in the area during the railroad construction and gold rush period. What started as a residential area for Chinese immigrants then turned into a centre for Chinese culture. The majority of residents in Chinatown are still ethnic Chinese, many of whom do not speak English fluently. This allows visitors to experience a real taste of China.
历史上,中国移民在铁路建设和淘金热时期定居于此。这里最初是中国移民的居住区,后来变成了中国文化的中心。唐人街的大多数居民仍然是华裔,其中许多人英语说得不流利。这让游客体验到真正的中国味道。
Para 2 The history of Chinatown
Most of Chinatown was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, but the city and residents rebuilt it, taking care to include lots of Chinese architecture. Traditionally, visitors enter Chinatown through the legendary Dragon Gate, which was built using materials donated from China. Other famous sites include the Tin How Temple and Bank of Canton, to name but a few.
唐人街的大部分在1906年的地震中被摧毁,但是城市和居民重建了它,包括许多中国建筑。传统上,游客通过传说中的龙门进入唐人街,龙门是用中国捐赠的材料建造的。其他著名景点包括天后宫和广东银行等。
Para 3 The tourist attractions in Chinatown
Visitors can also spend hours just exploring the interesting sights, smells, and sounds of China. Portsmouth Square is also a key site, being the centre of Chinatown. It has a long and famous history, with the author Robert Louis Stevenson having spent much time writing there. These days, the square is a great place to see traditional Chinese culture in real life, such as games of Chinese chess, and people practising tai chi.
游客也可以花几个小时探索中国有趣的风景、气味和声音。朴茨茅斯广场也是一个重要地点,是唐人街的中心。它有着悠久而著名的历史,作家罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森在那里花了很多时间写作。如今,广场是在现实生活中观看中国传统文化的好地方,比如中国象棋比赛和人们练习太极。
The stores in the Chinatown offer a unique range of souvenirs, goods, and clothing. All kinds of traditional Chinese herbal medicine can be found, too, and there are Chinese tea stores, where visitors can taste and buy varieties of Chinese tea.
But perhaps what many tourists and San Franciscans treasure most about Chinatown is its food. There is Chinese food to suit everyone’s taste, with traditional dishes from all over China.
唐人街的商店提供一系列独特的纪念品、商品和服装。各种传统的中草药也可以找到,还有中国茶叶店,游客可以品尝和购买各种中国茶。
但也许许多游客和旧金山人最珍视唐人街的是它的食物。这里有适合每个人口味的中餐,有来自中国各地的传统菜肴。
Para 4 The introduction of Chinatown’s shops and products
Para 5 The famous food in Chinatown
Chinatowns are an important part of the diverse culture of the USA. They allow visitors who have never been to China to experience traditional Chinese culture first hand.
唐人街是美国多元文化的重要组成部分。它们让从未去过中国的游客直接体验中国传统文化。
