文档介绍:Ten major tourist destination
No. 1 Times Square
Tourists flock to New York’s neon heart for the flashing lights, B旅游业大受打击,2009年夏天卖座大片《宿醉》之后,拉斯维加斯旅游业回暖。
Last year, 79 percent of tourists (29,467,000 people) chose to stay at hotels right on the Strip like Caesar’s Palace—the choice of the movie’s zany four-pack. And why not? Roll out of bed and onto the Strip to catch the Bellagio fountains in action, shop, gamble, and, of course, people-watch (which can get especially fun later at night).
去年, 有79 %的游客(29467000人)选择留宿在拉斯维加斯大道上的的酒店,正如影片中四人所选择的凯撒宫。为什么不呢?翻身下床,徜徉在拉斯维加斯大道,看看美丽湖喷泉,购物,赌博,入夜后,冷眼各色人等的众生相,真是再好玩不过了。
No. 5 Niagara Falls
Straddling the borders of the . and Canada, this massive waterfall spills about six million cubic feet of water—from a height ranging from 70 to 188 feet—every single minute.
尼亚加拉大瀑布位于美国和加拿大交界处,每分钟水流量约600万立方英尺(约17万立方米),落差70至188英尺(约21米至57米)。
While there are about 500 taller waterfalls in the world, Niagara Falls is spectacular for its sheer power. It’s also more accessible than many major falls, a short flight or drive for millions of regional tourists.
尼亚加拉瀑布在落差高度排名中只能排到500名开外,但它的磅礴气概却是其他瀑布所不及的。而且,相比其他瀑布,尼亚加拉瀑布的地理位置更便于参观巡游,对于地区游客,只需短时飞行或车程就能到达。
No. 6 Grand Central Terminal
Unlike harried commuters, visitors take their time in the main concourse of this Beaux-Arts landmark, pausing to view its glittering ceiling painted with a map of the constellations from the night sky.
不同于匆忙的通勤上班族,游客们尽可以从容流连, 在具有学院风格的车站大厅,停步欣赏大厅拱顶的星空图。
No. 7 Faneuil Hall Marketplace
Dating back to 1742, Faneuil Hall (“the Cradle of Liberty”) once hosted speeches by such greats as Samuel Adams and George Washington.
法尼尔厅市场的历史可以追溯到1742年,法尼尔厅市场被称作自由的摇篮,塞缪尔·亚当斯和乔治·华盛顿等伟人都曾在这里发表过演讲。
Today, the downtown marketplace has more than 100 specialty shops and eateries and occupies a pedestrian-only, cobblestone area that swarms with tourists and street performers.
