A good place for a city? Perhaps not. The weather changes quickly, and often cold white fog comes in over the bridge. There are about seventy hills (forty-three of them with names), and some of them are very steep. There is water on three sides of the city; the views are good, but getting in and out of the city is not always easy. And earthquakes bring fire, and sometimes death...
But millions of people come to San Francisco every year. They come to walk around the city and ride on the cable cars. They visit the neighbourhood of the hippies, and eat wonderful food from the sea. San Francisco is not the same as other cities – and that is why they love it.
舊金山這里適合建城市嗎？可能不適合。舊金山的天氣多變，經(jīng)常有冰冷的白霧彌漫在大橋上，蔓延到城市中。舊金山市內(nèi)大概有70座山（43座山已被命名），其中有一些山非常陡峭。舊金山三面環(huán)水，雖然這里景色優(yōu)美，但進(jìn)出舊金山并不容易。而且，地震會帶來火災(zāi)，有時甚至是死亡……
可是每年都有成百上千萬人來到舊金山。他們或在市內(nèi)散步，或乘坐纜車。他們參觀嬉皮士社區(qū)，享用美味的海產(chǎn)食物。舊金山與其他城市不同——這也正是他們熱愛這座城市的原因。
