下面店铺为大家带来旅游英语美国纽约市英语简介，欢迎大家阅读!纽约市英语简介：New York City is the most beguiling place there is. You may not think so at first - for the city is admittedly mad, the epitome in many ways of all that is wrong in modern America. But spend even a week here and it happens - the pace, the adrenaline take hold, and the shock gives way to myth. Walking through the city streets is an experience, the buildings like icons to the modern age, and above all to the power of money. Despite all the hype, the movie-image sentimentalism, Manhattan - the central island and the city's real core - has massive romance: whether it's the flickering lights of the midtown skyscrapers as you speed across the Queensboro bridge, the 4am half-life in Greenwich Village, or just wasting the morning on the Staten Island ferry, you really would have to be made of stone not to be moved by it all.None of which is to suggest that New York is a conventionally pleasing city. Take a walk in Manhattan beside Central Park, notably its east side, past the city's richest apartments and best museums, and keep walking: within a dozen or so blocks you find yourself in the lower reaches of Spanish Harlem. The shock could hardly be more extreme. The city is constantly like this, withglaring, in-your-face wealth juxtaposed with urban problems - poverty, the drug trade, homelessness - that have a predictably high profile. Things have definitely changed during the nineties, especially in the recent, Mayor Guiliani years. Crime figures are at their lowest in years and are still dropping (statistically, New York is now one of the country's safest big cities), and renewal plans have finally begun to undo years of urban neglect. But for all its new clean-cut image New York remains a unique place –one you'll want to return to again and again.The city also has more straightforward pleasures. There are the different ethnic neighborhoods of Lower Manhattan, from Chinatown to the Jewish Lower East Side and ever diminishing Little Italy; and the artsy concentrations in SoHo, TriBeCa, and the East and West Village. There is the architecture of corporate Manhattan and the more residential Upper East and West Side districts (the whole city reads like an illustrated history of modern design); and there is the art, which affords weeks of wandering in the Metropolitan and Modern Art Museums and countless smaller collections. You can eat anything, at any time, cooked in any style; drink in any kind of company; sit through any number of obscure movies. The established arts - dance, theater, music - are superbly catered for, and although the contemporary music scene is perhaps not as vital or original as in, say, London or Los Angeles, New York's clubs are varied and exciting, if rarely inexpensive. And for the avid consumer, the choice of shops is vast, almost numbingly exhaustive in this heartland of the great capitalist dream.。

Notice the iron balconies and the courtyards of the lovely homes we are passing. They look French or Spanish because they city was first French, and then became Spanish, and then became French again!

If you look down into the canyon you can see an airplane flying way below us. We are so far above the plane that it looks very tiny.

You may want to take a trip on the river while you are here in the park.We are going to make a short stop at one of the Native American museums so that you can learn about the history and culture of the people who are live in this area.

You can walk through or you can ride a mule. But you must be ready for great changes in the weather. On the rim of the canyon, where we are now, it can become very cold, as we are 7,000 feet above sea level. But as you go down into the canyon, it becomes warmer and warmer, and the temperature can go over 100 degrees. It is a very interesting trip because you pass through all the different levels of the earth. The river cut its way through the stone and left the layers of stone for us to look at.Look over there. That is Mooney Falls; the water drops about 200 feet. This is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the park.

I want to welcome you to Philadelphia, this exciting city of the well-known history. I’m Sean, and I’ll be your guide today for Tour USA. The tour will take five minutes, so we willbe back soon.Before our tour, we are going to know some of the information about this city. There is a map of the US, and we can find there is Pennsylvania. Philadelphia is the sixth largest city in the US and the biggest city in Pennsylvania. So there are many skyscrapers in Philadelphia. Near Philadelphia, we can find some places we have already learned, such as New Jersey and New York City.On July 4th 1776, representatives signed a declaration which is called United States Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia. This declaration marked a significant achievement in American Revolution.This declaration is one of the most important founding documents of the United States.So Philadelphia is called the birth place of the United States.The American flag was first designed and raised in Philadelphia. There is a little bit different between this one and nowadays American flag. There are only 13 stars in this flag, these stars represent the 13 states. From 1790 to 1800, Philadelphia was the capital of the United States. At that time, Philadelphia played a role in American politics.Speaking of Philadelphia, you may remind some famous people, such as George Washington and Franklin, they both used to work at Philadelphia for a long time.We are starting at the Independence Hall. It is in the center of this city. When you visit Philadelphia, you must go and visit the IndependenceHall, because the Declaration of Independence was signed here. The Independence Hall is also printed in US 100 dollars, so we should realize that it is one of the most important places in America.Here we can see the Liberty Bell, this is one of the most famous bells in America. People think it’s the symbol of Philadelphia and it’s also the symbol of the American’s liberty spirit. The bell rang when Franklin went to England to complain about too much tax. The bell rang when Washington died. The bell rang when Martin Luther King gave his speech I have a dream. Now this bell becomes the best teaching material of patriotism.Finally, let’s enjoy some of the pictures of Philadelphia.Here is Philadelphia International Airport, and there’s plane that will take you back to your English class. Thanks for your join, bye!。
