San Francisco

San Francisco, open your Golden Gate, sang the girl in the theatre. She never finished her song. That date was18th 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 in California. But today the streets of California 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 am 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 postboxes, 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 travelers 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 harbor. As you enjoy the fresh Pacific seafood you admire the bright red paint of the Golden Gate Bridge in the harbor and watch the traffic crossing the tall towers on its way to the pretty village of Tiburon.

漫步旧金山1

“旧金山，敞开你的金门吧！”2女孩在剧院中如此唱道。她的歌永远没法唱完。这一天是1906年的4月18日。大地晃动，屋顶瞬间被撕裂，楼房轰然倒塌，人们仓皇跑到大街上。这场可怕的地震摧毁了这座城市，这座城市是在加州3沙漠掘金热时期中崛起的。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。4

游览这座熠熠生辉的城市，这座西班牙人民最早在此成家立业的城市的最好的方法是乘坐经过九条主要街道的旧式缆车。车费很便宜，据说将近一百年来从未升过价。5你从旧金山的中心联合广场的棕榈树出发，从各种商店的标志和人们的脸庞，你会发现这个城市住着来自许多不同国家的人——奥地利人，印度人，中国人以及其他国家的人，让城市的每个街区都各具特色。大部分的中国人都居住在唐人街而不住在中国之外的其他地方。在这里有中式的餐厅，中式的邮箱，甚至连公用电话亭看起来都像亭子，让人很有置身中国的感觉。

渔人码头作为外国游客都想去的地方，坐落于缆车所在的终点站。你下车后，可能要暂时停步，按照当地的风俗，帮助其他的乘客在转台上调一下电缆车头，然后移步去一家靠近海湾的漂亮的小餐馆找一个座位坐下。你一边品尝着产自太平洋的新鲜海鲜一边感叹着海湾上油得亮红色的金门大桥，看着车辆在通往美丽小镇蒂伯龙6的路上，来往穿梭于高楼间。

1.增译法。文章主要介绍旧金山的一些简单历史和游览旧金山的方法，为使译文更加地道，增加“漫步”二字。此外，“旧金山”是中国人对圣佛朗西斯的惯称，也能使人更好地跟它的历史相联系起来。

2.这是指女歌手所唱的歌的歌词，按照中文的习惯，理应加双引号；为了使歌词更加生动，把英文的句号变成感叹号。

3.中国人习惯把加利福利亚简称为加州。

4.此句的翻译参考了来自https://www.360docs.net/doc/ff7866641.html,（美国旅游）网站上的平行文本。

5.采用了翻译法中的语态变换法，将“I am tol d”翻译为“据说”，更方便理解。

6.Tiburon的翻译来自维基百科的介绍。
