With the rapid development of society, tourism has become the best choice for people to relax, then read the motherland beautiful rivers and mountains of a country at the same time, let me lead you to enjoy the scenery of foreign countries! The Golden Gate Bridge, completed after more than four years of construction at a cost of $35 million, is a visitor attraction recognized around the world. The GGB opened to vehicular traffic on May 28, 1937 at twelve o'clock noon, ahead of schedule and under budget, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a telegraph key in the White House announcing the event. 华尔街 -全世界的金融中心。 Wall Street is the name of a narrow street in lower Manhattan in New York City, running east from Broadway downhill to the East River. Considered to be the historical heart of the Financial District, it was the first permanent home of the New York Stock Exchange. The phrase "Wall Street" is also used as a metonym to refer to American financial markets and financial institutions as a whole. Most New York financial firms are no longer headquartered on Wall Street, but elsewhere in lower or midtown Manhattan, Fairfield County, Connecticut, or New Jersey. JP Morgan Chase, the last major holdout, sold its headquarters tower at 60 Wall Street to Deutsche Bank in November 2001. Liberty Enlightening the World, known more commonly as the Statue of Liberty, is a statue given to the United States by France in 1885, standing at Liberty Island in the mouth of the Hudson River in New York Harbor as a welcome to all visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans. The copper statue, dedicated on October 28, 1886, commemorates the centennial of the United States and is a gesture of friendship between the two nations. The sculptor was Frederic Augusta Bartholdi. Gustave Eiffel, the designer of the Eiffel Tower, engineered the internal structure. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc was responsible for the choice of copper in the statue's construction and adoption of the Repoussé technique. The Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable icons of the U.S. worldwide, [1] and, in a more general sense, represents liberty and escape from oppression. The Statue of Liberty was, from 1886 until the Jet age, often the first glimpse of the United States for millions of immigrants after ocean voyages from Europe. It's said that ill Sancarlone or the Colossus of Rhodes inspired it. 第五大道 -购物者的天堂。 Fifth Avenue is a major thoroughfare in the center of the borough of Manhattan in New York City, USA. It runs through the heart of Midtown and along the eastern side of Central Park, and because of the expensive park-view real estate and historical mansions along its course, it is a symbol of wealthy New York. It is one of the best shopping streets in the world, often paired with London's Oxford Street and the Champs Elysées in Paris. It is one of the most expensive streets in the world, on a par with London and Tokyo lease prices. The "most expensive street in the world" moniker changes depending on currency fluctuations and local economic conditions from year to year. [1] Joseph Winston Herbert Hopkins founded this street. It is the dividing line for the east-west streets in Manhattan, (for example, demarcating the line separating East 59th Street from West 59th Street) as well as the zero-numbering point for street addresses (numbers increase in both directions as one moves away from Fifth, with 1 East 59th Street on the corner at Fifth Avenue, and 300 East 59th Street located several blocks to the East). Fifth Avenue is a one-way street and carries southbound ("downtown") traffic. Some people refer to Fifth Avenue colloquially as "Fashion Ave," but many refrain from it to avoid confusion with the real Fashion Ave, also known as Seventh Avenue. Fifth Avenue extends from the north side of Washington Square Park through Greenwich Village, Midtown, and the Upper East Side。 白宫是美国总统府和国家权威和威望的象征。 formerly known as the Executive Mansion (1810–1902) the official office and residence of the president of the United States at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W.in Washington,D.C.The White House and its landscaped grounds occupy 18 acres (7.2 hectares).Since the administration of George Washington (1789–97),who occupied presidential residences in New York and Philadelphia, every American president has resided at the White House. Originally called the “President's Palace” on early maps, the building was officially named the Executive Mansion in 1810 in order to avoid connotations of royalty. Although the name “White House” was commonly used from about the same time (because the mansion's white-gray sandstone contrasted strikingly with the red brick of nearby buildings),it did not become the official name of the building until 1902,when it was adopted by President Theodore Roosevelt (1901–09).The White House is the oldest federal building in the nation's capital. 今天我们的节目就到这里了,虽然美好的时光总很短暂,但只要我们能把握住每分每秒,相信大家一定能梦有所成。非常感谢大家的收听,让我们一起不辜负好时光吧!下期我们不见不散! 感谢收听,期待你对本期节目的评论留言哦~
