參考答案

The city I want to live in in the future is Xiamen,a coastal metropolis located in the southeast corner of China,thousands of miles away from here.But the transport is pretty convenient.There are many express trains and several flights to and from there every day.You can easily buy a ticket and have a trip on a whim.

我未來想要居住的城市是廈門，一座位于中國東南角的海濱城市，離這里上千英里遠(yuǎn)。但其交通便利。每天都有許多高鐵和航班往返那里。你可以輕易買到票，來次說走就走的旅行。

I first learnt about this city from the history textbook back in secondary school,which detailed how it was used as a trading point with foreign businessmen after the opium war.But at that time,it was just another city that I needed to memorize to cope with the exam.After I got enrolled in the university,one of my roommates,who is also my best friend,comes from there,and he is so proud of his hometown,always bragging about its food,beautiful sceneries,fresh air,and advanced economy.

我第一次知道這座城市是在初中的歷史書上。它詳細(xì)描述了它如何在鴉片戰(zhàn)爭之后作為與外國商人進(jìn)行交易的地點。但那個時候，它不過是另一個我需要記憶以應(yīng)付考試的城市而已。在我進(jìn)入大學(xué)之后，我的室友，也是我最好的朋友，來自那里。他特別為他的家鄉(xiāng)感到驕傲，總是吹噓那里的食物、美麗的景色，清新的空氣，以及發(fā)達(dá)的經(jīng)濟(jì)。

The city is famous for Gulangyu,a small island off its coast and a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site.As a place of residence for Westerners during Xiamen’s colonial past,this island is renowned for its architecture and for hosting China’s only piano museum,giving it the nickname of“The Town of Pianos”or“The Island of Music.It is a major domestic tourist destination,attracting more than 10 million visitors per year.

這座城市因鼓浪嶼而聞名，一座海岸邊的小島，也是聯(lián)合國教科文組織評定的世界文化遺址。作為廈門殖民時期西方人的居住地點，這座島因其建筑和擁有中國唯一的鋼琴博物館而聞名中外。這也讓它被稱作“鋼琴之鄉(xiāng)”，或者“音樂之島”。它是國內(nèi)的主要旅游目的地之一，每年都吸引上千萬的游客。

But the reason why I want to live there has little to do with this tourist attraction.Born and upbrought in an inland city,the sea always possesses a mysterious enchantment,luring me to get close to it and live by it.And of course,my friend’s boast also contributes to this idea.It is heaven on earth according to his description.

但我想要住在那里的原因跟這一旅游景點幾乎無關(guān)。作為一個在內(nèi)陸城市出生長大的人，海洋總是有種神秘的魅力，吸引我靠近它，在附近居住。當(dāng)然，我朋友的吹噓也起了很大作用。根據(jù)他的描述，那里就是地上天堂。
