Arrived early this morning by bus. Went straight to hotel to drop my luggage, shower and shave.
清晨乘公共汽车抵达，直赴饭店，放下行李，洗澡、刮脸，即去观光。
Then went exploring. First thing was a ride on a cable car. From top of the hill got a spectacular view of San Francisco Bay and the city. 先是乘缆车，在山顶揽胜，观看旧金山湾及整个城市。
Built in 1873, the cable car system was invented by Andrew Hallidie, who wanted to find a better form of transport than hor-drawn trams.
缆车系统建立于1873年，是由安德鲁·哈利迪发明的，他试图找到一种比马拉的轨道车更好的交通方式。
Apparently he'd been shocked when he saw a terrible accident in which a tram's brakes failed, the conductor could not control the situation and the tram slipped down the hill dragging the hors with it.
他曾经看到过一次可怕的交通事故：一辆马车刹车失灵，驾车失控，车子和马一起从山上滑了下去，很明显这让他受到了极大的震惊。师资队伍建设

It's also the place to catch the ferry to Angel Island and other places in the Bay.
