自由女神像

Statue of Liberty

自由女神像是一座位於美國紐約曼哈頓紐約港的巨型新古典主義塑像。這座雕像是法國人民送給美國的禮物，由弗里德利·奧古斯特·巴特勒迪設計，居斯塔夫·埃菲爾建造，於1886年10月28日落成。

The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City. The copper statue, a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886.

塑像人物是一位身穿長袍的女性，來自羅馬神話中的自主神。她起初是暗沉的銅色，但1900年後，銅開始因氧化而有綠色的銅綠蔓延。國會為此撥款6.28萬美元進行各種修復，但招致了相當大規模的公眾抗議，因此只有塑像的內部進行了粉刷。

Inspiration for the statue came from a female icon in American culture that was a representation of Liberty, derived from Libertas, the goddess of freedom widely worshipped in ancient Rome, especially among emancipated slaves.

The tower was originally a dull copper color but by 1906 verdigris, caused by the oxidation of the copper covered the entire statue making it green patina. Congress authorized money for repair but there was considerable public protest against the proposed exterior painting and so only the inside paint was redone.

布魯克林大橋

Brooklyn Bridge

是美國最老的斜拉、懸索橋之一，始建於1869年，歷經14年，1883年竣工。橫跨紐約東河連接曼哈頓與布魯克林。布魯克林大橋啟用後，它已成為紐約市天際線不可或缺的一部分，在1964年成為美國國家歷史地標。橋樑的設計比所需的程度還要穩固六倍。因此，在同時期的許多大橋紛紛消失在歷史中並被替代的時候，布魯克林大橋仍然安如磐石。

Since opening, it has become an icon of New York City and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964.

They designed a truss system that was six times as strong as they thought it needed to be. Because of this, the Brooklyn Bridge is still standing when many of the bridges built around the same time have vanished into history and been replaced.

聖路易斯拱門&老法院

Gateway Arch and Old Courthouse

19世紀，大拱門為紀念美國西進運動而設立，座落在密西西比河岸的傑斐遜國家擴張紀念公園。大拱門是世界上最高的拱形結構建築，西半球最高的人造紀念碑。在拱門頂部，遊客可以通過電梯達到最高的觀景台。觀景台可以容納160人。

The Gateway Arch reflects St. Louis role in the Westward Expansion of the United States during the nineteenth century.

The park is a memorial to Thomas Jefferson s role in opening the West, to the pioneers who helped shape its history, and to Dred Scott who sued for his freedom in the Old Courthouse. it is the world s tallest arch,[4] the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere,[6] and Missouri s tallest accessible building. Near the top of the Arch, passengers exit the tram compartment and climb a slight grade to enter the observation area. This arched deck, which is over 65 feet (20 m) long and 7 feet (2.1 m) wide,[103] can hold up to about 160 people, four trams worth[68]

牆鎮藥店

Walldrug

世界上最有名的旅遊景點之一，很難相信牆鎮藥店是因為一些在如今微不足道的事情而聲名鵲起——提供免費冰水。1931年，一個內布拉斯加本地藥劑師Ted Hustead買下了這個位於南達科塔州的小鎮藥店。小鎮人口不過231人，Ted說這裡處在一片虛無之中。生意慘淡，直到Ted的妻子Dorothy想出了向過路旅人提供冰水的宣傳辦法。人們會在去拉什莫爾山的路上在此停留，從此藥店生意漸漸興隆。之後牆鎮藥店變成了牛仔的主題的百貨商店。但牆鎮藥店 常因為前不著村後不著店被人戲稱為坑爹景點。

One of the world』s most well-known tourist stops, it』s hard to believe Wall Drug Store got its start with something we wouldn』t even turn our heads at today…the promise of free ice water. The small town drugstore made its first step towards fame when it was purchased by Ted Hustead in 1931. Hustead was a Nebraska native and pharmacist who was looking for a small town with a Catholic church in which to establish his business.

拉什莫爾山

Mount Rushmore

拉什莫爾山國家公園來自於一位名叫多恩·羅賓遜的歷史學家的腦洞。他的想法是要造一個可以吸引全國人民來參觀的景點。為此他說服了雕刻家格曾·博格勒姆，在山上雕刻總統的頭像。從1927年10月4日到1941年10月31日，格曾·博格勒姆在兒子的幫助下完成了這項工程。雕刻出了高達60英尺（約合18米）的四位美國總統巨像。這四位總統是喬治·華盛頓、托馬斯·傑斐遜、西奧多·羅斯福和亞伯拉罕·林肯。

Mount Rushmore National Park was the brainchild of Doane Robinson, known as the 「Father of Mount Rushmore.」 His goal was to create an attraction that would draw people from all over the country to his state. He contacted the sculptor Gutzon Borglum. It is a sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore, a batholith in the Black Hills in Keystone, South Dakota, United States.

Sculptor Gutzon Borglum created the sculpture s design and oversaw the project s execution from 1927-1941 with the help of his son, Lincoln Borglum. Mount Rushmore features 60-foot (18 m) sculptures of the heads of four United States presidents: George Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865).

蒙大拿

Montana

蒙大拿州位於美國西部。名字來自於西班牙語中的monta?a，是山的意思。每年數以百萬計的遊客來到這裡，參觀冰川國家公園、小大角羊戰場國家紀念碑、和黃石國家公園。面積380800平方公里，比日本國土稍稍大一些。蒙大拿州西邊有三分之一都是山脈，在東邊則有三分之二還屬於美國大平原的範圍。

is a state in the Western region of the United States. The state s name is derived from the Spanish word monta?a (mountain). Millions of tourists annually visit Glacier National Park, the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, and Yellowstone National Park. With an area of 147,040 square miles (380,800 km2), Montana is slightly larger than Japan. The western third of Montana contains numerous mountain ranges. The eastern half of Montana is characterized by western prairie terrain and badlands.

黃石國家公園

Yellowstone National Park

黃石國家公園是建立於1872年，是世界上第一個國家公園。主要位於懷俄明州，部分位於蒙大拿州和愛達荷州，面積達2,221,766英畝。在園內可以看到熔岩和間歇性噴泉，群山、森林和湖泊。這裡間歇泉的密度比世界上其他地方都高。可以說，黃石國家公園是地殼激烈運動的證明。

This is the world』s first national park established in 1872. This place is covered over three U.S. states. Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. Although it is primarily in Wyoming, the park is over 2,221,766 acres.

One can marvel at a volcano rising up in hot springs, mud pots, and geysers. There are mountains, forests, and lakes to watch wildlife and witness the drama of the natural world. There are more geysers and hot springs here than anywhere else on Earth. Yellowstone is a geological smoking gun that illustrates how violent the Earth can be.

米蘇拉，蒙大拿

Missoula, Montana

米蘇拉是美國蒙大拿州西部的一個城市，被認為是蒙大拿州的文化中心，州內的第一所大學和美國森林服務總部都坐落在這裡。伐木工人、嬉皮士、大學生、體育迷和退休老人各類人群都聚集在此。400英畝的稀樹草原，近5000英畝的保護地使得伐木業在100年中，都是當地的支柱產業，同時也讓駝鹿和長耳鹿能平安過冬。

Missoula is a city in the U.S. state of Montana. Missoula, often considered the cultural center of Montana,[62] is the location of the state s first university, and an eclectic mix of loggers, hippies, college students, sports fans, and retirees. Along with the U.S. Forest Service headquarters founded in 1908,

lumber and the university remained staples of the local economy for the next hundred years. In and around Missoula are 400 acres of parkland, 35 km of trails, and nearly 5,000 acres of open-space conservation land with adjacent Mount Jumbo home to grazing elk and mule deer during the winter.

科達倫湖

Lake Coeur d Alene

科達倫湖（英語：Lake Coeur d Alene）位於美國愛達荷州西北部，華盛頓州斯波坎以東40公里。科達倫湖以優美的湖光山色而聞名，是著名的夏季旅遊勝地。在伐木工業盛行的時代，湖面用來進行木材運輸。如今。公眾依舊可以自由進入整個湖區，不過該部落有權在他們的湖面領域內自定水質標準。

Is a natural lake in Northern Idaho that spans 40 km. It』s is a popular tourist site for many people during the summer, offering great beaches and scenic views. During the timber industry it was used to transport lumber in Kootenai County. Now, a third of the lake is considered to be reservation to one of the federally recognized tribes, Coeur d』Alene people. This hasn t affected public access to the lake but the EPA states that the tribe can create their own water quality standards for the section they own.

第一家星巴克

The first Starbucks

1971年，第一家星巴克咖啡店在美國華盛頓西雅圖市中心 Pike Place Market開張。當時，這家小小的咖啡店僅出售自己烘烤的咖啡豆，而不是煮好的咖啡。開店的第一年，他們從Peet s採購未加工的新鮮咖啡豆，之後直接從種植者那裡採購。由於Pike Place Market歷史悠久，不能隨意更改建築設計，這家咖啡店的外貌至今未變。數以百計的種植戶、手工藝人、小商鋪和居民們生活在9英畝的區域中，這個廣場的歷史建築和歷史風貌一直受到嚴格的保護。

Starbucks opened its first store in 1971 in the Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle. During this time, the company only sold roasted whole coffee beans and did not yet brew coffee to sell. During their first year of operation, they purchased green coffee beans from Peet s, then began buying directly from growers. Because the Market is a historic district with design guidelines, the store retains its original look. The historic buildings of Pike Place and character of the nine-acre historic district are protected. It is comprised of hundreds of farmers, craftspeople, small businesses and residents.

太空針塔

Space Needle

1962年西雅圖世界博覽會主席愛德華-卡爾森提出了一個設想，在博覽會上造一個帶餐廳的高塔。一次德國斯圖加特之旅是他的靈感之源。太空針是一座觀察塔，也是美國西北部的地標，還是西雅圖市的象徵。

Edward F. Carlson, chairman of the 1962 World s Fair in Seattle, originally had an idea for erecting a tower with a restaurant at the World s Fair. He was inspired by a trip to the Stuttgart Tower of Germany. The Space Needle is an observation tower in Seattle, Washington, a landmark of the Pacific Northwest, and an icon of Seattle.

太空針塔高達184米，曾經是密西西比河北岸最高的建築。塔頂有一家名叫SkyCity的餐廳，每47分鐘宣傳一周，提供西北部菜肴。

Once the tallest structure west of the Mississippi River,[7] it is 605 ft (184 m) high, 138 ft (42 m) wide, and weighs 9,550 tons. There is a restaurant in the observation desk called SkyCity that features Pacific Northwest cuisine. The observation deck rotates 360 degrees in exactly forty-seven minutes.
