第3章 Human and Geography人文和地理(3)

Spend some time in a quiet park relaxing on an old bench. Lie on your back on the green grass. When you need refreshment refreshment n.点心,饮料,精力恢复,爽快,try coffee and pastries at a sidewalk cafe. Strike up a conversation with a Parisian. This isn,t always easy,though. With such a large international population living in Paris,true natives are hard to find these days.

As evening comes to Paris,enchantment enchantment n.迷惑,着迷,魔法,妖术,魅力 rises with the mist over the riverfront. You may hear music from an outdoor concert nearby: classical,jazz,opera or chansons,those French folk songs. Parisians love their music. The starry sky is their auditorium. You can also hear concerts in the chateaux and cathedrals. In Paris the Music never ends.

Don,t miss the highlight highlight n.加亮区,精彩场面,最显着(重要)部分 vt.加亮,使显着,以强光照射,突出 of Paris evening: eating out. Parisians are proud of their cuisine. And rightly so; it,s worldfamous. Gourmet dining is one of the indispensable joys of living. You need a special guidebook to help you choose one of the hundreds of excellent restaurants. The capital of France boasts every regional specialty,cheese and wine the country has to offer. If you don,t know what to order,ask for the suggested menu. The chef likes to showcase showcase n.(商店或博物馆的玻璃)陈列橱,(主美)显示优点的东西 his best dishes there. Remember,you haven,t tasted the true flavor of France until you,ve dined at a French restaurant in Paris.

After your gourmet dinner,take a walking tour of the floodlit floodlit adj.泛光灯照明的 monuments. Cross the Pont Neuf,the oldest bridge in the city,to the Ile de la Cite. The most famous landmark of Paris looms up in front of you the Notre Dame Cathedral (Cathedral of Our Lady). Stand in the square in front of the cathedral. Here,you are standing in the center of France. All distances are measured from the front of Notre Dame. Every road in France leads to her front door. All French kings and leaders have journeyed here to commemorate commemorate vt.纪念 important occasions and give thanks. Notre Dame is the heart of Paris and the heart of France.

巴黎风情

啊,美丽的巴黎!几个世纪来,这个城市吸引了整个世界的崇拜。巴黎的诱惑与魅力吸引了所有到此游玩的人。

你在哪里可以找到巴黎对你自己的吸引力呢?是否是在历任的法国统治者们在美化他所钟爱的城市所留下来的遗产里?还是在那些有名的城堡、皇宫雕像和纪念碑例如艾菲尔铁塔之中?你能否在世界一流的博物馆,倒如卢浮宫中找着呢?或许巴黎的诱惑力在于巴黎人的特殊品味和风格。

当你到巴黎游玩时,别把时间全都花在看博物馆和纪念碑上面。它们当然很值得你花时间,但今天先忘掉它们。首先来四处看看,并体验一下巴黎的生活,你会发现它的迷人之处。

沿着塞纳河漫步。浏览艺术家们丰富多彩的绘画,透过那些精致的铁门,向内偷窥那些精心照看的花园。仔细留心法国人对于细节的留心。这使得法国成为“好品味”同义字。你可以在门廊或拱门以及小喷泉和古怪有趣的走廊的设计上看见。不管你往哪里看,你都可以发现日常物品已经变成了艺术品。

花些时间,在一个安静的公园里面的旧板凳上轻松地休息,或者躺在青草地上。想吃点心的时候,尝尝路边咖啡店的咖啡及点心。找一个巴黎人展开一段会话,但这也不太容易。有这么大的国际人口居住在此地,在这个年头要找到一个真正当地的巴黎人是很难的。

到了傍晚时分,随着码头上的雾气升起,巴黎的诱惑力也随之而起。你会听到附近室外音乐会所演奏的乐曲,古典、爵士、歌剧或是香颂——即法国的民歌。巴黎人热爱自己的音乐,繁星点缀的天空就是他们演奏的大礼堂。你也可以在皇宫或教堂里聆听音乐会。在巴黎,音乐是不会停止的。

别错过了巴黎夜晚的高潮:下馆子。巴黎人对其烹饪非常骄傲。理当如此,因为它世界驰名。美食与生活享乐本来就是不可分割的。为了帮你从几百家绝佳的餐厅中做选择,你需要一本特别的指南。法国的首都以各地的特色风味、乳酪和酒着称于世,如果你不知道要叫什么,可以要“推荐菜单”来看。大厨喜欢在此将他最拿手的菜作一番橱窗展示。请记住,在你尚未在巴黎的法国餐厅里吃过饭之前,都不算尝过法国真正的风味。

在你的美食晚餐之后,可以到被聚光灯照耀的纪念碑去走一趟。穿过第九桥(Pont Neuf)——此城市中最古老的桥,到达城市之岛(Ile de la Cite)。巴黎最有名的标志即隐约地呈现在你的面前:圣母院。站在教堂前面的广场,在这里,你即处于法国的正中心。所有的距离皆是以圣母院前门开始计算,法国的每一条路都通往它的前门。所有的法国国王或统治者都曾经旅游到此来纪念重要的节日或感恩。圣母院是巴黎的中心,也是法国的中心。

Kona Coast of Hawaii

This Kona Coast dive site is possibly the most beautiful,diverse,easily accessibleaccessible adj.易接近的,可到达的,易受影响的,可理解的,interesting dive location we have on the Island of Hawaii. It is at Honaunau Bay,just north of the National Historic Park.

This whole area is an ancient Hawaiian fishing/religious ceremonialceremonial n.仪式 adj.正式的 area,so treat it as such. Show the proper respect for the location,please. Some of the locals are upset with the proliferationproliferation n.增殖,分芽繁殖 of divers and snorkelers frequenting this site today,so please,treat them with respect and don,t leave any trash for them to use as evidence of your visit. Respectfully smile at everyone you see,you,ll be surprised at how that will confuse those you meet.

Because of the abundance of colorful reef marinemarine n.舰队,水兵,海运业 adj.海的,海产的,航海的,船舶的,海运的 life,this is an excellent place to snorkel as well as scuba. The clarity of the water here is conducive to exciting sightings of various marinelife species.There are two fine routes for divers to take from the entry point. One is straight out toward open ocean,the second along the rocky shore in a northerlynortherly adj.北方的,来自北方的 adv.来自北方 direction. If you are going straight out,watch and listen closely for the many fishing boats that use this bay as a launch site (a cautionary)cautionary adj.警戒的 dive flag float is recommended. The straight out route will take you across many coral heads and sandy channels holding a multitudemultitude n.多数,群众 of invertebratesinvertebrate adj.无脊椎的,无骨气的 n.无脊椎动物,无骨气的人 and reef fish. In the center of the bay,you,ll reach a living coral reef that is punctuated with countless pumas (holes) that hold numerous eels,crabs and shells of many descriptions. Watch for the Giant Green Sea Turtles in this bay as they often frequent this fantastic dive spot. Remember,the Green Sea Turtle is a protected,endangered species. So don,t touch,grab on to,or try to ride these valuable creatures-the penaltiespenalty n.处罚,罚款 for such action,if reported,is mega bucks and it ain,t worth it. Just enjoy their presence.
