特别广播英语第 284 课：Destination: JAPAN! 去日本-1

Have you ever thought about going to Japan? 你想过去日本玩吗？

There are many places in Japan worth visiting, but if you only have a little time, you absolutely cannot miss visiting Tokyo. 日本有许多值得参观的地方，但如果你时间不充裕，东京是一个绝对不容错过的城市。

This city is the country's capital and the center of everything that happens in Japan. 它是日本的首都及发生一切事情的中心。

When in Tokyo, be sure to check out Harajuku during the day. Many fashionable young people go there to shop, be seen, or just hang out. 在东京，白天一定得去原宿瞧瞧。许多时髦的年轻人都去那儿购物，招摇，或只是闲逛。

In the evening, walk over to Shibuya, another district popular with young people. 晚上，则要到涉谷走走，那是另一个年轻人喜爱的地方。

Shibuya is so full of bright lights and huge TV screens that it is almost as bright at night as it is at noon. 涉谷的夜晚灯火通明，巨型电视屏幕随处可见，和正午一样明亮。

Other places to go are the Ginza, the famous shopping district, and Shinjuku, home of the busiest train station in the world. 其它你可以去看的地方有银座──著名的购物区，新宿──世界上最繁忙的火车站。

If you are more interested in history, you can go to Kamakura, one of the old shogunate capitals, which is only an hour away from Tokyo by train. 如果你对历史更感兴趣，你还可以去镰仓──古幕府时代的首都之一，从东京搭火车到那儿大约只需要一个钟头。

Tokyo is the present capital of Japan, but for centuries the capital was Kyoto. 东京是日本现在的首都，但几个世纪以来，日本的首都一直是京都。
