导语:阿灵顿国家公墓(Arlington National Cemetery)坐落于美国弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿郡。它是阿灵顿这个美国第四小郡境内为数不多的大型建筑之一。阿灵顿与华盛顿特区隔波多马克河相望,是华盛顿的社区,河上跨5座桥连接两地。阿灵顿郡最初称亚历山大郡,1789年,弗吉尼亚州将它让给了联邦政府,成为哥伦比亚区的一部分;1846年,联邦政府又将它归还给弗吉尼亚州。
介绍:
On the surface, Chinatown is prosperous a "model slum," some have called it with the lowest crime rate, highest employment and least juvenile delinquency of any city district. Walk through its crowded streets at any time of day, and every shop is doing a brisk and businesslike trade: restaurant after restaurant is booming; there are storefront displays of shiny squids, clawing crabs and clambering lobster; and street markets offer overflowing piles of exotic green vegetables, garlic and ginger root. Chinatown has the feel of a land of plenty, and the reason why lies with the Chinese themselves: even here, in the very core of downtown Manhattan, they have been careful to preserve their own way of dealing with things, preferring to keep affairs close to the bond of the family and allowing few intrusions into a still-insular culture. There have been several concessions to Westerners storefront signs now offer English translations, and Haagen Dazs and Baskin Robbins ice-cream stores have opened on lower Mott Street but they can't help but seem incongruous. The one time of the year when Chinatown bursts open is during the Chinese New Year festival, held each year on the first full moon after January 19, when a giant dragon runs down Mott Street to the accompaniment of firecrackers, and the gutters run with ceremonial dyes.
