华美之城--杭州
Reflections of Hangzhou

G20的来临，让世界把更多的目光投向杭州，这个有着2000多年历史却依然如少女般美丽的城市。
As G20 approaches, the world pays more attention to Hangzhou, a city with a history of more than 2000 years but still full of youthfulness just as a beautiful girl.

宝石山是观看杭州这个城市最好的地方之一，在那里你可以把城市和世界闻名的西湖一览无遗。
The Baoshi (Precious Stone )Hill offers a best view the city and the famous West Lake, a UNESCO world heritage of nature and culture.

初雪的早晨，你看到的是迷人的蓝色和粉色。
In a early morning after the first snow what you see from atop the Hill is, very probably, an amazing combination of blue and pink.

但在夏天，你有更多的运气看到这满天的彩霞。
In summer, what you might gaze at is the splendid rosy clouds.

太阳升起，你不一定就能看清这世界。
However when the sun rises, you would not be certain to see the world clearly.

你在湖边看日出也很不错，特别是当有天鹅游过。
It is certainly another joyful experience to watch the sunrise at the side of the Lake, especially when there are some swans at your company.

向早起的人微笑的太阳。
The sun beams smiles to the early birds.

当云彩遮住了太阳，我们也会有很多惊喜。
When the sun hides behind the clouds, the spectacle could be more dramatic.

彩虹自然是更大的惊喜。
The rainbow was a happy surprise.

特别是当彩虹占据了半个天空。
Especially when the rainbow draws a half circle in the sky.

西湖的晚霞常常是动人的。
The sunset glow at the West Lake is always a touching sight.

追逐太阳。
Chasing the sun.

宝石流霞名不虚传。
The scenic sight of the Sunset Glow at the Precious Stones Hill is certainly true to its name.

西湖自然是赏月的好地方。平湖秋月代表了一种诗情画意。
The Lake is a poetic location to watch the moon.

保俶塔是杭州的地标之一，亮灯工程使得这座千年古塔更显优雅。
Baochu Pagoda is one of the landmarks of Hangzhou and it has been overlooking the city for about 1000 years.

西湖的夜是静美的。
The night by the West Lake is calm and fair.

当然，如果你有机会在暮色中踏上西湖中的小赢洲，体会三潭印月的意境，你的人生是否有些丰满？
Stroll on the Lake's Small Islet in the dusk to appreciate the charm of the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, you may utter a sigh at a view so touching in its majesty.

如果热闹是你的菜，可以去杭州新的城市中心钱江新城看看。
If you prefer to experience a bustling metropolitan life, then go to Qianjiang New City, a new city center of Hangzhou.

而江对岸的奥体中心似乎要等G20来了才会揭开它的面纱。
Opposite of the Qianjiang New City is the newly built Olynpic Center, which seems to be unveiled, on the opening of G20 summit, perhaps.

对我而言，西湖边的音乐喷泉更容易企及一些。
The West Lake musical fountain seems to be more within reach.

武林广场的八少女喷泉也是杭州人的心头爱。
The Eight Maidens musical fountain in the Wulin Square is another favorable place to local people.

我们也不能忘了祖先们很早就发明的烟花。大运河（杭州的另一个世界遗产）畔的烟花动人心魄。
We will not forget the fireworks our ancestors invented long long ago. The fireworks by the Grand Canal (another UNESCO world heritage of Hangzhou) is breath-taking.

现在的烟花也很有创意。
The fireworks today are very creative.

当然在西湖边看烟花更是一种享受，可惜现在很难得放了。
It is certainly a more pleasant experience to watch the fireworks popping up over the Weest Lake, but nowadays the chances are not many.

这还是很多年前的烟花。
The fireworks many years ago.

长夜过后，我们来讲下春天的故事。
After a bit long night, let's meet spring.

很多人说春天是杭州最好的季节。
Many people say spring is the best season in Hangzou.

太子湾的郁金香是近年杭州的一大胜景。
The tulips at Taiziwan Park is now a scenic attraction of Hangzhou.

白堤的桃花和柳树依然笑春风。

美国总统尼克松1972年和1993年两次访问杭州，在第二次访问时我给他拍下了这张照片。第一次是打开了中美关系新篇章，第二次是怀旧之旅，行程中他常陷入沉思状态。
