For current forecasts, visit www.weather.com.<br /><br />The main holiday season is, naturally, summer, which typically begins on Memorial Day(对阵亡战士的纪念日) (the last Monday in May) and ends on Labor Day (the first Monday in September). But Americans take their holidays mainly in summer because schools are closed, not because the weather’s uniformly ideal: yes, hit the beaches in August, because Manhattan is a shimmering sweat bath(闪闪发光的汗蒸馆) and the deserts are frying pans.(煎锅)<br /><br />The seasons don’t arrive uniformly either. Spring (typically March to May) and fall (usually September to November) are often the best travel times, but ‘spring’ in parts of the Rockies and Sierras may not come till June. By then it’s only a sweet memory in Austin, while in Seattle, spring often means rain, rain, rain.<br /><br />And winter? It’s expensive high-season(旺季) at ski resorts and in parts of the southern US (blame migrating snowbirds), but planned well, winter can mean you have the riches of America’s landscape(风景) virtually all to yourself.<br /><br />Whether you’re planning to join them or avoid them, holidays and festivals are another thing to consider.<br /><br />DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT…<br /><br />Checking current US visa and passport requirements.<br /><br />Adequate travel and medical insurance(医疗保险)<br /><br />Up-to-date medical vaccinations(接种)<br /><br />Hotel reservations, particularly for your first night and near national parks.<br /><br />Your driver’s license and adequate liability insurance. Not driving? Do it anyway – you might change your mind once you see how big this place is.<br /><br />A handful of credit cards – they’re easier and safer than cash.<br /><br />An open mind. You’ll find elites in the Ozarks(欧扎克山脉) and hicks in Manhattan, and everything in between.<br /><br />Festivals & Events<br /><br />January<br /><br />Chinese New Year Late January or early February. Celebrated with parades(检阅), fireworks and lots of food; San Francisco’s Chinatown is a fantastic place to be.<br /><br />FEBRUARY<br /><br />Black History Month African American heritage(遗产) is celebrated nationwide.<br /><br />Valentine’s Day(情人节) The 14th. For some reason, St Valentine is associated with romance; shops sell out of boxes of chocolate candy, flowers and cards.<br /><br />Mardi Gras In late February or early March, the day before Ash Wednesday. Parades, revelry(狂欢) and abandonment accompany the finale of Carnival(狂欢节); New Orleans’(新奥尔良) celebrations are legendary.<br /><br />MARCH<br /><br />St Patrick’s Day(圣帕特里克节) The 17th. The patron saint(守护神) of Ireland is honored; huge celebrations occur in New York, Boston and Chicago. Wear green – if you don’t, you could get pinched(逮捕).<br /><br />Easter(复活节) In late March or April, on the Sunday following Good Friday (which is not a public holiday); after morning church services, kids hunt for eggs hidden by the Easter bunny.<br /><br />MAY<br /><br />Cinco de Mayo The 5th. The day the Mexicans won the Battle of Puebla against the French in 1862; especially in the South and West, communities celebrate their Mexican heritage with parades.<br /><br />Mother's Day The second Sunday. Children send cards and call their mothers (or feel guilty for a whole year).<br /><br />JUNE<br /><br />Father’s Day The third Sunday. Same idea as Mother’s Day, different parent, less guilt.<br /><br />Gay Pride Month (www.interpride.org) In some cities, gay pride celebrations last a week, but in San Francisco, it’s a month-long party, where the last weekend in June sees giant parades.<br /><br />JULY<br /><br />Independence Day The 4th. The historic anniversary of the US becoming independent inspires parades and fireworks; Chicago pulls out all the stops with fireworks on the 3rd.<br /><br />OCTOBER<br /><br />Halloween The 31st. Kids dress in costumes and go door-to-door trick-or-treating for candy; adults dress in costumes and act out alter egos at parties – New York and San Francisco are the wildest.<br /><br />NOVEMBER<br /><br />Day of the Dead The 2nd. Areas with Mexican communities honor deceased relatives with candlelit(点然蜡烛) memorials; candy skulls(颅骨) and skeletons are popular.<br /><br />Thanksgiving The fourth Thursday. A latter-day harvest festival: family and friends gather for daylong feasts, traditionally involving roast turkey. New York City hosts a huge parade.<br /><br />DECEMBER<br /><br />Chanukkah Date determined by the Hebrew(犹太)calendar, but usually begins before Christmas. This eight-day Jewish holiday is also called the Festival of Lights.<br /><br />Christmas The 25th. Christ’s birth inspires midnight church services, tree-lighting ceremonies, caroling(唱圣诞颂歌) in the streets and of course, a visit from Santa.<br /><br />Kwanzaa From December 26th to January 1st. This African American celebration is a time to give thanks and honor the seven principles<div class="blogger-post-footer">provided by translatorli.blogspot.com</div>Send me your project for a quote!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01168288596195454030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176691251724442901.post-24198982311960548202012-06-11T04:56:00.002-04:002012-06-11T04:56:55.111-04:00Lake Tahoe塔霍湖By Freelance Chinese Translator Li – English to Chinese translation services - based in China.<br />
<div style="mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24.0pt;">
</div>
<div style="mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Most people come to Lake Tahoe to ski,
frolic</span>(嬉戏)<span lang="EN-US"> in the gin-clear</span>(杜松子酒般清澈)<span lang="EN-US"> waters of an alpine lake</span>(高山湖泊)<span lang="EN-US"> or maybe lounge in a resort by day and
gamble in one of the casinos</span>(俱乐部)<span lang="EN-US"> by night. -- I've come to see
a wolverine</span>(狼獾)<span lang="EN-US">.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="regular" style="text-indent: 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">This
isn't as strange a quest as it might sound. For decades, wildlife experts</span>(野生动物专家)<span lang="EN-US"> believed the wolverine had long
disappeared from the Sierra Nevada mountains</span>(内华达山脉)<span lang="EN-US">,
which ring the stunning</span>(迷人的)<span lang="EN-US"> lake, but a wolverine was photographed
last year, a few miles north of Truckee</span>(特拉基)<span lang="EN-US">.
Biologist also found other evidence of the animal's presence.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Why the wolverine? The primary answer is
that the animal is one of the most elusive</span>(难以捉摸的)<span lang="EN-US">,
evasive</span>(回避)<span lang="EN-US"> and downright human-hating
creatures on earth, not to mention one of the fiercest</span>(凶猛的)<span lang="EN-US">. Pound for pound, the wolverine might be
the baddest critter on earth. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">About the size of a
medium-sized dog, they’ve been known to kill moose</span>(驼鹿)<span lang="EN-US">. They’ll go head to head against much
larger predators</span>(天敌)<span lang="EN-US">, including black bears,
wolves and cougars</span>(美洲狮)<span lang="EN-US">. Wolverines are the ultimate,
fighting machines.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">The other answer is
that I’ve already seen one, when I lived in Alaska. It was only a glimpse, but
I’ll never forget the way it moved. It slunk along low to the ground with
ill intent</span>(意图不轨)<span lang="EN-US">, in an odd, menacing</span>(来势汹汹)<span lang="EN-US">, almost serpentine</span>(蛇形)<span lang="EN-US"> movement. I recognized immediately that
I was seeing a rare, strange creature.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b style="text-align: left; text-indent: 24pt;"><span lang="EN-US">A long shot</span></b><strong style="text-align: left; text-indent: 24pt;">一个长镜头</strong></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">The sighting(瞄准), in the deep, snowy
woods of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula</span>(基奈半岛)<span lang="EN-US">, chilled me even though the animal did not attack.
Indeed, it aggressively ignored me, if such a thing is possible. Still, the
incident stayed with me. I won’t go so far as to say it’s an obsession</span>(痴迷)<span lang="EN-US">, but there have been many a
night when wolverines have insinuated themselves into my dreams.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I want to see another one.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">I realize it’s a long shot.</span><strong><span lang="EN-US"> </span></strong><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Forest Service officials are not
releasing information about exactly where the wolverine was spotted. Also,
wolverines avoid humans like they’re carrying swine flu</span>(<span class="regular1">猪流感)</span><span lang="EN-US">. I’ll be using the Tahoe Rim
Trail, a 165-mile long trail that loops around the lake, mostly along high
ridges. There will be awe-inspiring</span>(令人畏惧的)<span lang="EN-US">
views, but there will also be a lot of people.<span class="regular1"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Nor do I plan to spread around skunk
glands(</span><span class="regular1">臭鼬腺体)</span><span lang="EN-US"> or nail a deer carcass(</span><span class="regular1">尸体)</span><span lang="EN-US"> to a tree, two ways
wolverine-watchers hope to attract the animal. Still, I was lucky in Alaska.
Maybe I’ll be lucky again. At the worst, I’ll be immersed in the natural beauty
Lake Tahoe is famous for.<span class="regular1"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 173%;">Stunning beauty</span><span style="line-height: 173%;">(惊艳)</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 173%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">My personal quest will keep me outdoors,
and the Tahoe Meadows to Spooner Summit part of the larger trail is my hunting
ground</span>(猎场)<span lang="EN-US">. It’s a nearly 22-mile hike, slipping
between the granite</span>(花岗岩)<span lang="EN-US"> peaks of the Carson Range and offering
probably the best views of the lake far below. I pass through wildflower
meadows</span>(长满野花的草地)<span lang="EN-US"> that make you happy just to be
alive. Despite the heavy use by humans, I actually don’t see that many
people, other than a few other hikers. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="regular" style="mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">The beauty is so stunning, I
almost forget about the wolverine quest. Lake Tahoe</span>(塔霍湖)<span lang="EN-US"> was formed during the Ice Age</span>(冰河时代)<span lang="EN-US">, where California and Nevada meet, and
it looks it, as clear and pristine</span>原始的<span lang="EN-US">
as a time before man. The lake is the largest alpine lake in North America, and
the second deepest at more than 1,600 feet. Sometimes, when the sun is right,
you almost think you can see halfway to the bottom.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="regular" style="mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">The trail rises to Tunnel
Creek Road and then descends gently about five miles to Snow Valley Peak</span>雪谷峰<span lang="EN-US">. You can still see evidence of miners
during the gold fever era</span>(淘金热时代)<span lang="EN-US">. You can camp along the rail
without a permit as long as you’re not in one of the wilderness areas, and as
long as you’re 300 feet from the trail and 200 feet from any water source.</span>
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Skunk bears”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<div class="regular">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">It is at night, when I am actually
dreaming about a wolf, that a noise startles me out of sleep. I get out my
flashlight</span>(手电筒)<span lang="EN-US"> and look around, but there’s
nothing to be seen, and I’m too chicken to scout out</span>(侦察)<span lang="EN-US"> the area in detail. Remember, I’ve seen
a wolverine. The next morning, I find scat not 20 feet from where I was
sleeping. I don’t have a scat expert at hand, but it appears to be the scat of
a small, black bear. Could it have been a wolverine? After all, they are
sometimes referred to as “skunk bears.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN-US">I doubt it, but I tell myself
it’s possible. I continue my hike and during the course of a beautiful day
above the sparkling waters of Lake Tahoe, I see a couple of mule deer and what
I believe to be a marten</span>(貂)<span lang="EN-US">.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span><span style="text-indent: 24pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But – no wolverine. For now, I’ll just have to be content to see it
in my dreams. Lake Tahoe, on the other hand, is all too real and accessible.</span></span></div>

The island is hilly(多小山的),<br />rising to an elevation of 1,545 feet (471 metres) at Mount Takpochao (or<br />Tagpochau); it is 14 miles (23 km) long and 5 miles (8 km) across at its widest<br />point. Broad inlets(入口) (Laolao [Magicienne] Bay and Tanapag Harbor) are on<br />both its sides. The smaller island of Tinian lies immediately southwest across<br />the Saipan Channel.<br /><br />Saipan was under Spanish sovereignty(统治) from 1565 to 1899 and came<br />under German rule from 1899 to 1914. It was made a Japanese mandate(授权统治) in<br />1920. During World War II, the successful U.S.-led Allied invasion and capture<br />of the island (June–July 1944) was one of the<br />fiercest land battles in the Pacific theatre. Some 3,500 U.S. troops(军队) died<br />in the fighting, and nearly all of the 30,000 Japanese defenders were killed;<br />thousands of Japanese civilians also died, many jumping to their deaths off<br />Banzai Cliff, at the northern end of the island, rather than face capture.<br />Saipan became an important U.S. military(军事) air base during the last year of<br />the war, and between 1953 and 1962 it was under U.S. naval jurisdiction(司法权).<br /><br />The seat of government of the commonwealth(共和国) of the Northern Mariana<br />Islands is on Saipan; the executive and legislative branches are headquartered<br />at Capital Hill, and the judiciary(法官) meets at Susupe. Subsistence crops(生长的农作物)<br />include taro, cassava, yams, breadfruit, and bananas. Tourism and its related<br />industries are Saipan’s economic mainstay(支柱). Saipan<br />has a commercial dock(商业码头) and an international airport. Area 46.5 square<br />miles (120 square km). Pop. (2000) 62,392.<div class="blogger-post-footer">provided by translatorli.blogspot.com</div>Send me your project for a quote!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01168288596195454030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176691251724442901.post-36603246541300373272012-04-08T05:09:00.002-04:002012-04-08T05:14:17.215-04:00The most beautiful place in the US——Las Vegas(美国最美的地方——拉斯维加斯)By Freelance Chinese Translator Li – English to Chinese translation services - based in China.<br /> The most beautiful place in the US, and the Entertainment Capital of the World, boasts(拥有) nineteen of the world's twenty-five largest hotels, whose flamboyant(显眼的), no-expense-spared casinos(赌场) lure in thirty-seven million tourists each year, Las Vegas is the most dynamic,spectacular city on earth. Everywhere you turn, you'll find something extraordinary(特别的) to see or do.<br /> Las Vegas is home to Caesars Palace, voted the 3rd most beautiful <a href="http://www.spinpalace.co.uk/mobile/%20">casino</a> in the world. It is open daily 24 hours, with 129,000 square foot gaming space featuring 1,457 gaming machines and 220 table and poker games. The property has twenty-three restaurants, three bars and a hotel with 3,289 rooms.<br /> Casinos, naturally, continue to draw tourists to Las Vegas. From penny slots to high-stakes table games in private salons, you'll find it here. But there's much more to Las Vegas than gambling. The beautiful surroundings of Las Vegas have a lot to offer including three great national parks: Grand Canyon(大峡谷), Zion and Death Valley. Just west of the city is Red Rock Canyon(红岩峡谷) Conservation Area, and just a slow drive away is one of the geologic highlights of an excellent exposure of dramatic Keystone Thrust, where ancient crustal motions(地壳运动) 65 million years ago shoved great thicknesses of grey limestone(灰色的石灰岩) on top of younger beds of red sandstone.<br /> Overall, Las Vegas is unlike any other city. Take the world's best food, most beautiful casinos, nightclubs and scenery; put them all next door to each other, and voila! Then you've got Las Vegas. If the talk of Las Vegas has got you in the casino mood, and you are feeling brave, you can play <a href="http://www.spinpalace.co.uk/mobile/iphone/">mobile casino</a> as an alternative to flying away to Las Vegas with the beautiful casino of Spin Palace(旋转宫殿).<div class="blogger-post-footer">provided by translatorli.blogspot.com</div>Send me your project for a quote!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01168288596195454030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176691251724442901.post-57174188437362839222012-04-05T10:14:00.000-04:002012-04-05T10:15:50.757-04:00Beaches in Saipan Island (塞班岛的海岸)By Freelance Chinese Translator Li – English to Chinese translation services - based in China.<br />Ladder Beach(阶梯海岸)Located on the southern part of the island, Ladder Beach on Saipan is very secluded (与世隔绝的)and requires a short hike down steep stairs(徒步穿过陡峭的阶梯) to reach the cove(小海湾). This beach is surrounded on all sides by cliffs and at the bottom of the cliff you will find large open caves along the beach which are great for providing shade during really hot and sunny days.Lau Lau Beach(劳劳海岸)Found along Magicienne Bay on the southeast part of Saipan, Lau Lau Beach is a large beach divided into sections by rock formations with shallow waters and gentle waves. Getting to Lau Lau Beach is a little rough as the road is unpaved(没有铺石子路) and it might be a good idea to bring a 4 wheel vehicle if your planning to visit the beach otherwise it can take a while. The eastern part of the beach is a popular dive spot.Marine Beach(海军海岸)This beach is located on the eastern coast of Saipan and has some of the bluest waters on the island. In addition, vacationers can find pavilions(临时展出馆) complete with barbeque pits to spend a relaxing day at the beach.Micro Beach(微小海岸)Lined with Japanese World War II bunkers(地堡) and also the location of an ancient Carolinian village, Micro Beach is probably the most popular beach on the island today. Micro Beach offers a large park area complete with picnic tables and other amenities(娱乐设施). Large trees scattered throughout the park also provide some shade from the hot tropical sun.Obyan Beach(欧比海岸)Caves, World War II bunkers, secret tunnels, and latte(板条) stones, and an ancient Chamorro village are what await you at Obyan Beach. If your into adventure and historic sites then this is a great beach to visit. Obyan Beach is also popular among divers and snorkelers(潜水者), and provides some great hiking trails to Naftan Peninsula.Pau Pau Beach(泡泡海岸)Located in the northwestern part of the island, one interesting fact about Pau Pau Beach is archeologists recently found ancient Chamorro artifacts(手工艺品) and bones on the southern part of the beach from pre-latte times. Today, visitors can enjoy the long, isolated sandy beach complete with picnic pavilions and barbeque pits. You'll also find a Japanese World War II bunker on the beach site.Tank Beach(坦克海岸)Nicknamed Tank Beach because of an old relic World War II tank which can be seen in the waters just off the shore, Tank Beach is another great beach to just relax in Saipan's beautiful tropical weather, and take a dip in the cool refreshing Pacific Ocean.Wing Beach(羽翼海岸)Found on the northwestern part of Saipan just past the Marianas Resort you can get to Wing Beach by turning left on Wing Beach Road and arriving at one of two entrances to the beach. Spending a day at the beach barbequing and enjoying the tropical sun is a enjoyable activity for many people who come to Wing Beach. There is also a channel where people usually swim out to go diving.<div class="blogger-post-footer">provided by translatorli.blogspot.com</div>Send me your project for a quote!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01168288596195454030noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176691251724442901.post-66398010127277633912012-03-31T10:02:00.000-04:002012-03-31T10:05:29.584-04:00Haleiwa town(哈尔伊瓦城)By Freelance Chinese Translator Li – English to Chinese translation services - based in China.<br /> People travel from all over the world for a taste of country living in historic Haleiwa(哈尔伊瓦) town, located on the North Shore of Oahu. It may be a surfer seeking to ride a wave at any of the numerous world-class surf spots found along the coast, or an art enthusiast wanting to dive into a cultural hub(文化中心).<br /> And nobody's trip to Haleiwa is complete without a stop at Matsumoto(松本)'s or Aoki's for a classic shave ice. But the seemingly quaint(少见的) surf town is actually rich in plantation era history that lives on through its old-fashioned ambiance(氛围). A preserved piece of the past comes together with a colorfully thriving community to make Haleiwa a must-see destination. The picturesque town's main street, filled with early 20th century architecture and nestled(依偎) against the backdrop of majestic Kaena Point(卡伊那), exudes the kind of charm that seems to only exist in movies. "I see a double rainbow almost every weekend," says artist and wax chandler(蜡销售商) Scott Bechtol, who runs The Iwa Gallery in the center of town. His is one of many vibrant galleries(美术馆), all of which display local artists' work. "Appreciating nature and its beauty is a community view that's reflected in the art," says Wyland Gallery Haleiwa's senior art consultant Matt Maletta. This is no surprise, as the area's gorgeous setting is impossible to ignore. Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, or honu, are often found basking(晒太阳) in the sand at beautiful Laniakea Beach (also known as "Turtle Beach"(海龟海滩)). In fact, there are many ways to soak up the outdoors while in Haleiwa, like renting jet skis for the adventure seeker or trying your hand at kayaking and stand up paddle boarding for a day of family fun. Locals and tourists alike also love to escape from the excitement of Waikiki to a haven of quiet boutiques(精品店), surf shops and laid back restaurants.<br /> The host of food trucks scattered about are just as popular, selling favorites like fresh shrimp(虾) from nearby town, Kahuku. And there's one local snack(点心) that Haleiwa residents, especially kids, can't live without — Ken Terukina's pickled mango. The lifelong Haleiwa resident has been selling the refreshingly sweet snack from his house for 15 years and counting (just follow the "pickled mango"(腌芒果) sign at the foot of the stop sign past Anahulu Stream Bridge). There is no place on Oahu quite like distinguished Haleiwa. With a firm grasp on its roots, the friendly town continues to gleam(闪闪发亮) with life and is the perfect place to spend the day.<div class="blogger-post-footer">provided by translatorli.blogspot.com</div>Send me your project for a quote!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01168288596195454030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176691251724442901.post-54415807791861515562012-03-29T08:11:00.001-04:002012-03-29T08:14:33.683-04:00A Visit to Germaine's Luau(参加杰曼的夏威夷宴会)By Freelance Chinese Translator Li – English to Chinese translation services - based in China.<br /> No trip to Hawaii would be complete without a Mai Tai, a hula<br />lesson, a plate full of delicious Kalua pork(烤猪排) and a magnificent sunset on the beach.<br /><br />Thanks to Germaine’s Luau(杰曼的夏威夷宴会), an Oahu attraction that has delighted visitors for more than three<br />decades, you can enjoy all of these experiences in a single, unforgettable<br />evening. <br /><br />This venerable(令人尊重的) luau takes place in Kapolei near Barber’s Point on the southwestern tip of Oahu, about<br />27 miles from Waikiki. If you’re driving, you’ll want to leave your hotel early to beat rush-hour traffic, or even<br />spend the day on the North Shore before heading for Kapolei. Germaine’s gates open at 5:15 p.m., so you can claim<br />the best seats in an outdoor theatre area filled with long picnic tables and<br />low luau tables surrounded by tatami mats(榻榻米席垫)—perfect for kids!<br /><br /> If you’d rather not drive—or if you’re looking for the full<br />Germaine’s experience—ask about the free shuttle(飞机) when you make your luau reservations(预订). Germaine’s provides door-to-door service to and from Waikiki<br />hotels. Traffic and the buses’ meandering routes(蜿蜒曲折的路线) can expand the ride to Kapolei into a two-hour odyssey(探险) (the nighttime ride back is much shorter).<br />But it’s a comfy(舒适的) trip, and you’ll be surrounded by like-minded luau-goers and<br />amused by the patter of the tour guide(导游的顺口溜).<br /><br /> Upon arrival, a Germaine’s shutterbug(摄影爱好者) will photograph your group against a lovely natural backdrop of<br />dusky sky(以昏暗的天空,海滩和大海为自然背景), beach and sea. (Photos may be purchased for $20 at the end of the<br />evening.) Belly up to the outdoor bar and redeem(买) one of your three complimentary adult beverage tickets for a<br />Mai-Tai, rum punch, Blue Hawaii, or domestic beer; unlimited soft drinks,<br />coffee and tea are also available. <br /><br /> As the sun begins to set, an emcee(主持人) introduces the “Royal Court” while a five-piece band plays island standards. Dancers clad in<br />regal crimson(华丽的深红色) and yellow<br />take the stage in a ceremony(典礼) that provides a brief introduction to ancient Hawaiian protocol(礼仪). Several good-humored volunteers from the<br />audience are invited to show off their best hula moves in a riotous “contest.”(欢腾的竞赛) Then, it’s time for the feast!<br /><br /> Germaine’s claims to be one of the few<br />commercial luaus in Hawaii that cooks a pig each day in its traditional imu pit(浅灶坑), located just behind its outdoor bar. At<br />about 6:15 each evening, as the crowd watches hungrily, two men clad in bright<br />lava-lavas are charged with opening and unwrapping the imu and retrieving the<br />Kalua pork. Tender, smoky, and succulent(味美), the shredded pork is simply delectable.<br /><br /> The buffet tables are laden with standard<br />luau fare like lomi-lomi salmon(鲑鱼), chicken long rice, fried mahi, and poi(山芋). Don’t be afraid of the poi! Try it as a<br />condiment with the salmon or Kalua pork. Fried chicken, teriyaki(红烧的) beef, steamed rice, dinner rolls, and a<br />quartet of salads (green, macaroni(意大利通心粉), coleslaw(卷心菜沙拉), and three-bean) are also available, and the dessert tables feature<br />treats like fresh pineapple(凤梨), haupia (coconut pudding), and chocolate cake.<br /><br /> At about 7, the stage show recommences(重新开始). Dancers representing(代表) Hawaii, New Zealand, Samoa(萨摩亚群岛) and Tahiti(塔希提) provide spectacular and colorful<br />entertainment, often accompanied by ipu and uli uli (gourd drums and rattles).<br />Highlights include a dramatic Samoan fire-knife dance, a sensual Tahitian<br />couples’ hula, and a Maori dance with glowing “poi balls,” as well as several<br />opportunities for audience participation (and a door prize drawing, too!)<div class="blogger-post-footer">provided by translatorli.blogspot.com</div>Send me your project for a quote!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01168288596195454030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176691251724442901.post-84161883547789652402012-03-24T12:21:00.000-04:002012-03-24T12:22:50.162-04:00National Park Service(美国国家公园管理局简介)By Freelance Chinese Translator Li – English to Chinese translation services - based in China.<br /><br />Since 1916, the American people have entrusted the <a name="OLE_LINK38">National Park Service </a>with the care of their national parks.

Today, the state of Hawaii contains eight main islands, only six of which are populated. <br /><br />Measure for measure(以牙还牙), the Hawaiian islands are as diverse as it gets. Their flora and fauna(动植物群) are a textbook case of Darwinian evolution(达尔文进化论). Time and time again, single migratory(迁徙的) species blossomed into dozens of variations, as isolated individuals adapted to arid coastal deserts(干燥的沿海沙漠), rain forests and snow-capped subarctic mountaintops. As a result, the majority of Hawaiian plants and animals are endemic(特有的), and nearly as often, endangered(濒危的).<br /><br />All the islands have similar climates: southwestern coasts are sunny, dry and lined with sandy beaches, while the northeastern sides have lush rain forests, cascading waterfalls and pounding surf. Hawaii enjoys warm weather year-round, with coastal temperatures averaging a high of 83°F (28°C) and a low of 68°F (20°C). Summer and fall are the driest seasons, winter the wettest.<div class="blogger-post-footer">provided by translatorli.blogspot.com</div>Send me your project for a quote!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01168288596195454030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176691251724442901.post-3637197298255938922012-03-21T09:01:00.001-04:002012-03-21T09:03:09.724-04:00The Hawai‘i Fire Department(消防部门)By Freelance Chinese Translator Li – English to Chinese translation services - based in China.<br /><br />The Hawai‘i Fire Department(消防部门) announces the starting of our Fire Explorer Program.

(Pack your swimsuit and towel!) You can even take hula lesson or make a lei(花环).<br />At Waimea Valley, on Oahu’s rural North Shore, visitors can experience Hawaiian culture in a spectacular natural environment. Waimea Valley is a living puuhonua, or a place of peace and safety. It’s also one of Oahu’s last partially intact ahupuaa, or land divisions, that extend from the mountains to the sea.<br />A paved path(铺石小路) winds through 35 themed(主题) botanical gardens, featuring more than 200 plant families, including rare plants found only on the Hawaiian Islands and some with flowers as big as a basketball! The 45-tall Waimea Falls are the focal point of the park, and visitors are invited to swim in the pool below—so bring a swimsuit and towel! Here’s a look at some of the other scenic goings on at beautiful Waimea Valley:<br /><br />Ancient Hawaiian Archaeological Sites: 78 sites of interest have been identified here, highlighting religious shrines(圣坛), housing sites, agricultural terraces(梯田), and ancient fishponds(养鱼池).<br />Wildlife: Native and endangered birds call Waimea Valley home, including the alae ula, and all five species of o opu, a native freshwater fish that can be found in the Kamananui Stream. Please note that due to the fragile(脆弱的) wildlife of the park, no domestic animals may be brought to Waimea Valley, with the exception of service dogs. li><br />Cultural Activities: Take part in rich cultural pastimes as you spend your day at Waimea Valley (call ahead to see what’s on the schedule for the day), and have fun with such activities as Lei making, Kapa demonstrations(游行), Hula lessons, Hawaiian games, crafts, music and storytelling with Kūpuna! li><br />Artisanal Offerings and Cuisine: See and purchase the work of North Shore artists and Hawaiian artisans showcasing their locally-made products, and dine at the on-site concessionaries(减价) which feature local and fresh ingredients(组成部分)! li><br />Fans of the TV show Lost might recognize Waimea Valley’s waterfalls as the place where Kate found the briefcase in the show’s first season.

The connection between native plants and culture is emphasized(重点), and the park strives to leave all visitors to the Valley with a greater appreciation and respect for Hawaiian history, culture and tradition.<div class="blogger-post-footer">provided by translatorli.blogspot.com</div>Send me your project for a quote!http://www.blogger.com/profile/01168288596195454030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176691251724442901.post-18997443254309910562012-03-18T12:04:00.003-04:002012-03-18T12:09:15.215-04:00About USCEA-美中国际合作交流促进会(简称美中促进会)简介By Freelance Chinese Translator Li – English to Chinese translation services - based in China.<br /><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:drawinggridverticalspacing>7.8 磅</w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing> <w:displayhorizontaldrawinggridevery>0</w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery> <w:displayverticaldrawinggridevery>2</w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:spaceforul/> <w:balancesinglebytedoublebytewidth/> <w:donotleavebackslashalone/> <w:ultrailspace/> <w:donotexpandshiftreturn/> <w:adjustlineheightintable/> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> <w:usefelayout/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if !mso]><object classid="clsid:38481807-CA0E-42D2-BF39-B33AF135CC4D" id="ieooui"></object> <style> st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } </style> <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:普通表格; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">US-China Exchange Association (<a name="OLE_LINK30">USCEA</a>) is a multinational and nonprofit organization, headquartered in New Jersey, USA.
