Har lige en engelsk oversættelse til imorgen:
Dansk:San Francisco
San Francisco er en vidunderlig by, som ligger smukt ved San Francisco Bay. Mange af byen gader er utrolig stejle, så man skal være en usædvanlig god bilist for at køre sikkert rundt i den bakkede by. San Francisco-indbyggerne er meget stolte af at have ”The Crookedest Street in the World”.
I mange år har den gamle sporvogn været den store turistattraktion. Man har simpelt hen ikke været i San Francisco, hvis man ikke har taget en tur med the Cable Car.
En anden ting, man absolut må gøre, når man er i SF, er at besøge fængslet Alcatraz, en lille ø ude i bugten. Fængslet blev lukket af justitsminister Robert Kennedy i 60´erne, og bygningerne ser bestemt ikke spor hyggelige ud. Men udsigten fra fængslet mod the Golden Gate Bridge i vest og mod SF i syd er aldeles enestående.
I 1906 oplevede byen et voldsomt jordskælv, som straks startede en frygtelig brand. Mange af de smukt malede træhuse brændte helt ned. Men siden da har indbyggerne dristigt genopbygget byen, og fornylig er de begyndt at bygge enormt høje skyskrabere. Foreløbig kan SF dog ikke rose sig af nogen helt så høje som Sears Tower i Chicago og New Yorks World Trade Center.
Imidlertid kan et jordskælv lige så slemt som det i 1906 let ramme byen igen, da den uheldigvis ligger på Andreas-forkastningen.
Engelsk:San Francisco
San Francisco is a wonderful city, which is placed beautifully at the San Francisco Bay. A lot of the streets in the city are very steep, so you need to be a very good driver to drive safely in the hilly city. The San Franciscans are very proud to have “The Crookedest Street in the World”.
For many years, the old tram has been the big tourist attraction. If you haven’t taken a trip with the Cable Car, you simply haven’t been in San Francisco.
Another must, when you are in SF, is to visit the prison Alcatraz, which is a little island in the bay.
The prison was closed by Robert Kennedy, who was Attorney General in the sixties, and the buildings are definitely not good-looking. But the view from the prison towards the Golden Gate Bridge in West and against SF in south is completely unique.
In 1906 the city experienced a heavy earthquake, which immediately started a terrible fire. A lot of the beautifully painted tree-houses burned completely away. But since then, the citizens have rebuilt the town very daringly, and recently they are started to build enormously high skyscrapers. So far, SF can not pride itself of any so big as Sears Tower in Chicago and New York’s World Trade Center.
However an earthquake as bad as that in 1906 easily hit the city again, because unfortunately it’s placed on the Andreas Fault.
Nogen, der vil være meget flinke og rette for fejl mm.?
