旅游英语:Introduction to Suzhou 介绍苏州

介绍苏州

I’m John Louis from England. This is my first trip to Suzhou. Could you please tell me something about the city?

我是从英国来的约翰.路易斯。这是我第一次到苏州，你能告诉我一些有关这个城市的情况吗？

Certainly. Suzhou, called the Venice of the East, is really a beautiful city, because of its network of canals. There are about 150 landscaped gardens in Suzhou. Some of them are more than 1,000 years old. These gardens are not large but curious in their designs, and they bring together the beauties of nature, architecture and painting.

当然了。由于河道密布，苏州被称为“东方威尼斯”，是一座很美的城市。苏州共有150座园林，其中有一部分都有千年的历史。这些园林规模不大，但设计巧妙，集自然美、建筑美和绘画美于一体。

Sounds wonderful. I’d like to take one –day sightseeing tour around the city.
