10、之巅， 城市、大海和金门大桥美景尽收眼底。我住的旅馆靠近市中心，位于教会区，这是旧金山最古老的街区之一。这里的许多居民来自墨西哥或中美洲。这个区过去是城里的一个贫困区域，而现在是艺术、音乐和美食中心。事实上，一场名为“教会派”的艺术运动就发源于此。这一运动深受涂鸦艺术和漫画艺术的影响。一连好几个小时，我四处走着，欣赏街头艺术。这些艺术十分现代，也很生动。随后，我吃了一份快餐车售卖的美味的墨西哥式中国面。这真是文化的交融啊!下午，我前往当地一家博物馆参观，博物馆展示了加利福尼亚的历史变迁。我了解到，1948年美国从墨西哥手中得到加利福尼亚。同年，旧金山附近发现黄金，引发了淘金热。世界各地30多万
11、人蜂拥而至，在这里谋出路，旧金山迅速成为一座大都市。很多中国人也在这个时期来到此地。为了谋生，有些人在唐人街开商店、开餐馆。更多的人则在农场打工、加入淘金大军，或者参与修建加州通往美国东部的铁路。这家博物馆完美地展示了美国是如何由不同国家和文化的移民建设起来的。这些移民离开他们的祖国时，心中装着一片故土，最终在这里建立了新家园。今晚，我去了唐人街。这里有很多不错的咖啡馆和餐馆可供选择。我挑了一家粤菜馆，他们端出来的菜肴是放在精美的瓷盘子上的。太好吃了！今天就写到这里吧。明天晚上，我要去里上满区的一家爵士酒吧。我已经迫不及待了!Unit3 Reading for Writing (P32)WEL

20、ce唐人街欢迎您！旧金山的唐人街在全美规模最大、历史最为悠久，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多。这里一年四季气候温和，这意味着任何时候都适宜来游览。历史上，在修筑铁路和淘金热时期，来自中国的移民定居于此。这里原本是中国移民的居住地，后来变成一个中国文化中心。如今唐人街的绝大多数居民依旧是华人，他们中很多人英语说得并不流利，这能让游客体验到正宗的中国味。唐人街的大部分建筑毁于1906年的大地震，但是市政府和居民将它重建，并且特地融人诸多中国建筑元素。传统上，游客从具有传奇色彩的龙门走入唐人街，龙门的建筑材料是由中国捐赠的。其他的著名景点还有天后古庙、广东银行等，不胜枚
21、举。游客亦可花上数小时，一探此地的中国味道与美景声色。作为唐人街的中心，花园角广场也是一个重要景点。广场历史悠久，声名远扬，作家罗伯特路易斯史蒂文森曾长居于此进行创作。如今，花园角广场已经成为游客的一个好去处，可以欣赏现实生活里的中国传统文化，如中国象棋和打太极拳。唐人街的商店出售各式特色纪念品、货物和衣服。此外，各种各样的中草药也随处可见，还有中国茶叶商店，游客可以品尝和购买各种中国茶叶。然而，很多游客和旧金山人最钟爱的或许是唐人街的美食。这里有着来自中国各地的传统菜肴，各种口味，应有尽有。唐人街是美国多元文化的一个重要组成部分，未曾踏足中国的游客可以在唐人街近距离感受中国传统文化。5学科网（北京）股份有限公司
