Arrived early this morning by bus. Went straight to hotel to drop my luggage, shower and shave. Then went exploring. First thing was a ride on a cable car. From top of the hill got a spectacular view of San Francisco Bay and the city. Built in 1873, the cable car system was invented by Andrew Hallidie, who wanted to find a better form of transport than horse-drawn trams. Apparently he'd been shocked when he saw a terrible accident in which a tram's brakes failed, the conductor could not control the situation and the tram slipped down the hill dragging the horses with it.
今天早晨到达乘公共汽车去。径直走到酒店掉我的行李,淋浴和刮胡子。然后去探索。首先是一个骑一匹电缆车。从山顶上,得到了一个引人入胜的景观的旧金山海湾和这个城市。建立1873年,缆车系统由安德鲁赶紧发明,他想找一份更好的形式的交通比坐在弯折。显然,他很震惊,这时他看见了一起可怕的事故中,电车的刹车、导体不能控制的情况和电车滑下山坡马拖着。
Had a late lunch at Fisherman's What. This is the district where Italian fishermen first came to San Francisco in the late 19th century and began the fishing industry. Now it's a tourist area with lots of shops, sea food restaurants and bakeries. It's also the place to catch the ferry to Angel Island and other places in the Bay.
有一晚中午在渔夫是什么。这是该地区在意大利渔民第一次来到旧金山在19世纪末,开始渔业的发展。现在是一个旅游地区很多商店,海鲜餐馆和面包店。这也是地方赶上渡轮天使岛和其他地方湾的。
Did so much exploring at Fisherman's What. Am exhausted and don't feel like doing anything else. Early bed tonight!
在探索做了那么多的渔人什么。太累了,也别想做的任何东西。早期今晚床!

Teamed up with a couple from my hotel (Peter and Terri) and hired a car. Spent all day driving around the city. There's a fascinating drive marked out for tourists. It has blue and white signs with seagulls on them to show the way to go. It's a 79km round-trip that takes in all the famous tourist spots. Stopped many times to admire the view of the city from different angles and take photographs. Now have a really good idea of what the city's like.
和一对从我的酒店(彼得和特里)和租了一辆汽车。一整天都在推动全国各地的城市。有一个吸引人的驱动显示出在游客。它有蓝色和白色海鸥的标志,但在他们出示路要走。这是一个79km往返,将所有著名的旅游景点。停止许多次,欣赏眼前的景色的城市从不同的角度和拍照。现在有一个很好的主意的那个城市是什么样子。
In evening, went to Chinatown with Peter and Terri. Chinese immigrants settled in this area in the 1850s. The fronts of the buildings are decorated to look like old buildings in southern China. Saw some interesting temples here, a number of markets and a great many restaurants. Also art galleries and a museum containing documents, photographs and all sorts of objects about the history of Chinese immigration, but it is closed in the evening. Will go back during the day. Had a delicious meal and then walked down the hill to our hotel.
傍晚,去唐人街彼得和特里。中国移民定居在这个地区18世纪50年代。穿越战线装饰的建筑物都看起来像旧建筑在中国南部。看到一些有趣的庙宇在这里,大量的市场和许多餐馆。也美术馆和博物馆包含文本、图片和各种各样的物体的中国移民的历史,但它是关闭的晚上。要回去在白天。了美味的一餐然后步行下山来我们酒店。

In morning, took ferry to Angel Island from the port in San Francisco Bay. On the way had a good view of the Golden Gate Bridge. From 1882 to 1940 Angel Island was a famous immigration station where many Chinese people applied for right to live in USA. The cells in the station were very small, cold and damp; some did not even have light but the immigrants had nowhere else to go. Their miserable stay seemed to be punishment rather than justice and freedom to them. They wrote poems on the walls about their loneliness and mourned their former life in China. In 1940 the civil authorities reformed the system so that many more Chinese people were able to grasp the opportunity of settling in the USA. Made me very thoughtful and thankful for my life today.
在上午,作为渡轮天使岛的港口在旧金山海湾。在有一个好的视野的金门桥。从1882年到1940年天使岛是一位著名的移民站在哪里许多中国个人申请生存权利在美国。这些细胞在车站很小,寒冷和潮湿,有些甚至没有光,但移民没有别的地方可去。他们的悲惨的保持似乎而不是正义和自由的惩罚。他们在墙上写诗对他们的孤独和悼念他们的前任在中国的生活。1940年中国政府改革的各项制度,使更多的中国人,人们能把握机遇解决在美国。让我非常体贴和感谢我的人生。
