旅游英语：Hollywood英语介绍 导语：好莱坞(Hollywood)，又称荷里活，位于美国西海岸加利福尼 亚州洛杉矶郊外，依山傍水，景色宜人。“好莱坞”一词往往直接用来指美国的电 影工业，由于美国许多著名电影公司设立于此，故经常被与美国电影和影星联系 起来，好莱坞是世界闻名的电影中心，每年在此举办的奥斯卡颁奖典礼则是世界 电影的盛会。
If a single place-name encapsulates the LA dream of glamor， money and overnight success， it“s Hollywood. Millions of tourists arrive on pilgrimages;
millions more flock here in pursuit of riches and glory. Hollywood is a weird combination of insatiable optimism and total despair. It really does blur the edges of fact and fiction， simply becau so much ems possible and yet so little， for most people， actually is. Tho who do strike it rich here get out as soon as they can， just as they always have;
the big film companies， too， long ago relocated well away， leaving Hollywood in isol悬挂结构
ation， with prostitution， drug dealing and edy bookstores as the reality behind the fantasy. Central Hollywood The myths， magic， fable and fantasy splattered throughout the few short blocks of Central Hollywood would put a medieval fairytale to shame. A rich n of nostalgia pervades the area， giving it an appeal no measure of tourists or souvenir postcard stands can diminish. Although you“re much more likely to find a porno theater than spot a real star， the decline which blighted Hollywood from the early 1960s is fast receding. Nevertheless the place still gets hairy after dark， with adolescents cruising Hollywood Boulevard in customized cars and occasional petty criminals on the prowl for the odd pocketbook. The natural place to begin exploring Hollywood Boulevard is the junction of Hollywood and Vine the classic location for budding stars to be "spotted" by big-shot directors and whisked off to fame and fortune. At 6608 Hollywood Blvd， the purple and pink Frederick"s of Hollywood has been (under-) clothing Hollywood"s x goddess since 1947， as well as mortal bodies all over the world via mail order. Inside， the lingerie muum (free) displays some of the company"s best corts， bras and panties， donated by happy big-name wearers ranging from Lana Turner to Cher. A li
ttle further on， the Egyptian Theater at no. 6708 was financed by impresario Sid Grauman， in a modest attempt to re-create the Temple of Thebes. The very first Hollywood premiere (Robin Hood) took place here in 1922. Now owned bythe city， Grauman"s Thebes is currently clod for renovations as part of a three-year plan to restore the fake mummies and hieroglyphics of this temple of cinema to their former glory and remake the theater into a center for film study. No Hollywood visitor will want to miss the mundane yet magical foot and hand prints in the concrete concour of the 1927 Chine Theatre at 6925 Hollywood Blvd. Actress Norma Talmadge (suppodly by accident) trod in wet cement while visiting the construction site， and the practice has continued ever since， starting with Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks Sr， at the opening of King of Kings， and recently involving stars such as Al Pacino. Through the halcyon decades， this was the spot for movie first-nights. As for the building， it"s an odd western version of a classical Chine temple， replete with dodgy Chine motifs and upturned dragon tail flanks. The Roovelt Hotel opposite was movieland"s first luxury hotel， its Cinegrill restaurant hosting the likes of W C Fields and F Scott Fitzgeral

Despite the beliefs of some of their loopiest fans， even the biggest Hollywood stars have been mortal;
扑克拖拉机 the many LA cemeteries that hold their tombs get at least as many visitors as the city"s muums. In the southeast corner of the Hollywood Memorial Cemetery， near Santa Monica Boulevard and Gower Street， a mausoleum contains the resting place of Rudolph Valentino， the celebrated screen lover who died aged just 31 in 1926. To this day on each anniversary of his passing (August 23)， at least one "Lady in Black" as his posthumous devotees are known will likely be found mourning. The achingly ostentatious memorial to Douglas Fairbanks Sr， who with his wife Mary Pickford did much to introduce social snobbery among movie-making people， is just outside. Also on view are the graves of Hollywood"s more recently decead inhabitants：
an increasingly large population of Russian and Armenian immigrants. Griffith Park The
gentle greenery and rugged mountain slopes that make up vast Griffith Park northeast of Hollywood (daily 5am10.30pm， mountain roads clo at dusk;
free) are a welcome escape from the mind-numbing hubbub of the city. The landmark Obrvatory (TuesFri 210pm， SatSun 12.3010pm;
free) here has been en in innumerable Hollywood films， most famously Rebel Without a Cau， and the surrounding acres add up to the largest municipal park in the country， one of the few places where LA"s multitude of racial and social groups at least go through the motions of mixing together.Above the landscaped flat ctions， the hillsides are rough and wild， marked only by foot and bridle paths， leading into desolate but appealingly unspoiled terrain that gives great views over the LA basin and out to the ocean， provided the city smog isn"t too thick. One way to explore is on a rented bike from Woody"s Bicycle World， 3157 Los Feliz Blvd (213/661-6665)， a short distance away. The park is safe enough by day， but its reputation for after-dark violence is well founded. Hollywood Hills The views from the Hollywood Hills take in a bizarre asso
rtment of opulent properties. Around the canyons and slopes， which run from Hollywood itlf into Benedict Canyon above Beverly Hills， mansions are so commonplace that only the half-dozen fully blown castles (at least， Hollywood-style castles) really stand out. On Mulholland Drive are Rudolph Valentino"s extravagant Falcon Lair and Errol Flynn"s Mulholland Hou;
down Benedict Canyon is the former home of actress Sharon Tate， one of the victims of the Manson Family. Guided tours can point out which is which， but for the most part you can"t get clo to the most elaborate dwellings anyway， and none is open to the public. From more or less anywhere in Hollywood， you can e the Hollywood Sign， erected as a property advertiment in 1923 (when it spelt "Hollywoodland";
the "land" was removed in 1949)。
The sign is also famous as a suicide spot， though few have followed the 1932 example of would-be movie star Peg Entwhistle. Hers was no mean feat， the sign being as hard to reach then as it is now：
关于和平的名言
from the end of Beachwood Drive (a route that affords a fine view of the sign) she picked a path slowly upwards through the thick bush， to leap to her death from the 50ft "H". For the first time in its sixty-five-year existence， the sign is being insured against earthquake damage. Infra-red cameras and radar-activated zoom lens have been installed to catch graffiti writers. Innocent tourists who can"t resist a clo look are also liable for the $103 fine. 文章二 好莱坞位于美国西海岸加利福尼亚州洛杉矶郊外的好莱坞，这是一个 依山傍 水，景色宜人的地方。最早是由摄影师寻找外景地所发现的，大约在 20世纪初，这里便吸引了许多拍摄者，而后是一些为了逃避专利公司控制的小公司和独立制片商们纷纷涌来，逐渐形成了一个电影中心。在第一次世界大战之前 以及之后的一段时间内，格里菲斯和卓别林等一些电影大师们为美国赢得了世界 名誉，华尔街的大财团插手电影业，好莱坞电影城迅速兴起，恰恰适应了美国在 这一时期的经济飞速发展的需要，电影也进一步纳入经济机制，成为谋取利润的 一部分。资本的雄厚，影片产量的增多，保证了美国电影市场在世界上的倾销， 洛杉矶郊外的小村庄最终成为一个庞大的电影城，好莱坞也在无形中成为美国电 影的代名词。孟家扒蹄>产假工资怎么发
