GEORGE'S DIARY 12TH­14TH JUNE

Monday 12th, June

Arrived early this morning by bus.Went straight to hotel to drop my luggage①， shower and shave②.Then went exploring③.First thing was a ride on a cable④ 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 Hallidie⑤， who wanted to find a better form of transport than horse­drawn trams⑥.Apparently⑦ he'd been shocked when he saw a terrible accident in which a tram's brakes⑧ failed, the conductor⑨ could not control the situation and the tram slipped down the hill dragging the horses with it.

Had a late lunch at Fisherman's Wharf⑪.This is the district where Italian fishermen first came to San Francisco in the late 19th century and began the fishing industry⑫.Now it's a tourist area with lots of shops, sea food restaurants and bakeries⑬.It's also the place to catch the ferry⑭ to Angel Island⑮ and other places in the Bay.

Did so much exploring at Fisherman's Wharf.Am exhausted and don't feel like doing anything else.Early bed tonight！

乔治的日记(6月12日～14日)

6月12日　星期一

清晨乘公共汽车抵达，直赴旅馆，放下行李，洗澡、刮脸，即去观光。先是乘缆车，在山顶览胜，观看旧金山湾及整个城市。缆车系统建于1873年，是由安德鲁·哈利迪发明的，他试图找到一种比马拉轨道车更好的交通方式。他曾经看到过一次可怕的交通事故：由于一辆马拉轨道车刹车失灵，驾车者对局面失去控制，车子和马一起从山上滑了下去，很明显这让他受到了极大的震惊。

午餐是在渔人码头吃的，吃得很晚。意大利渔民于19世纪末首先来到旧金山，并且在这儿开始了捕鱼业。如今这儿是一个旅游区了，有许多商店、海鲜馆和面包房。这也是乘船去天使岛和海湾其他地方的渡口。

在渔人码头看了这么多东西，我精疲力竭，什么也不想干了。今晚要早点睡觉！

Tuesday 13th, June

Teamed up with⑯ a couple from my hotel (Peter and Terri) and hired⑰ a car.Spent all day driving around the city.There's a fascinating⑱ drive⑲ marked out⑳ for tourists.It has blue and white signs with seagulls on them to show the way to go.It's a 79 km round­trip 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.

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.,

6月13日　星期二

同饭店里的一对夫妻(彼得和泰莉)作伴，一起租了一辆小汽车，一整天驱车游览城市。有一条专为旅游者选定的有趣的驾车游活动。车身上有蓝白两色相间的标记，上面有海鸥以表示要去的路线。这是一次往返79千米的旅行，它涵盖了所有著名的旅游景点。途中多次停车，以便从不同角度欣赏城市风景并摄影。现在确实对城市的面貌有了一个很好的了解。

晚上，跟彼得和泰莉一起去中国城。中国移民于19世纪50年代定居在这个地区。建筑物前面装饰得就像中国南部地区的古建筑一样。在这儿看到了一些有趣的寺庙，很多的集贸市场和许多餐馆，还有美术馆和一个博物馆。博物馆里有关于中国移民史的文件、照片和各种各样的物品，但是晚上关门了。打算白天再来。吃了一顿可口的饭菜，然后步行下山回到旅馆。

Wednesday 14th, June

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.

6月14日　星期三

早晨，从旧金山湾的港口乘轮渡去天使岛，路上观赏了金门大桥。从1882年至1940年，天使岛成为一个著名的移民站，许多中国人在那儿申请美国居住权。移民站的房间又小又冷又潮湿，一些房间甚至没有光，但是移民们没有其他去处。悲惨的境遇对他们来说似乎是一种惩罚而谈不上公平和自由。他们在墙上写诗，抒发孤独的情感，痛惜以前在中国的生活。1940年民政部门改革了制度，使得更多的中国人能够得到机会定居美国。这引起我的感慨，使我对今天的生活感到欣慰。
