阳春三月，最适合去公园里赏樱花。但不是每个国家的人都可以有幸看到樱花美景。关于樱花，你了解多少？ 1. YOU'LL ONLY FIND CHERRY BLOSSOMS IN A HANDFUL OF COUNTRIES. 只有为数不多的几个国家有樱花 Called sakura in Japan, the cherry blossoms of Yoshino and Kyoto are world-famous. Tourists flock to the country each spring to try their hand at a centuries-old activity called hanami, or “flower viewing.” You don’t have to fly to Japan to see them, though. In the US, the cherry blossoms of Washington, D.C., New York City, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Seattle, San Francisco, and Boston are all beautiful in their own way. The flowers can also be viewed in many European and Asian countries, as well as Brazil and Australia in the southern hemisphere. 樱花在日本名叫sakura，以吉野和京都的樱花最为著名。每年春天，游客都会蜂拥到日本，参加有数百年历史的赏花会。不过，看樱花不用飞到日本去。在美国的华盛顿、纽约、费城、圣路易斯、西雅图、旧金山、波士顿的樱花美景都各有特色。欧洲和亚洲的许多国家，还有南半球的巴西和澳洲，都可以看到樱花。 2. THE CHERRY BLOSSOM CAPITAL OF THE WORLD IS IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. “世界樱花之都”在美国乔治亚州 Believe it or not, the city of Macon in central Georgia is recognized as the “Cherry Blossom Capital of the World”—at least according to US Congressional records. It’s home to 350,000 Yoshino cherry trees, while Washington, D.C. has fewer than 4000 trees. |
