“乡村音乐的圣地”-美国纳什维尔(译文)



Nashville (US)
Admit it - as LA is to long-haired rockers and Chicago is to steamy blues - when you think Nashville, you've got country music on your mind. And why not? As the self-proclaimed 'Country Music Capital of the World,' Nashville revels in its down-home glamour. Banners and billboards announce new recording stars and releases like accolades in a high school yearbook, and streets bear the names of country legends like Roy Acuff and Chet Atkins. Music City (as Nashville's promoters like to call it) has even caught the attention of non-country singers - from Joan Baez to Jello Biafra - though their reviews have not always been favorable. Still, for a city that's staked its reputation on its trademark sound, there's no doubt about it - Nashville's tune is catchy.


                        纳什维尔（美国）
    接纳它---当拉丁美洲成为长发的摇滚歌手，当芝加哥唱起弥漫水汽般的蓝调---而想到纳什维尔时，你就已经得到了你心中的乡村音乐。怎么能不是呢？就如它自我宣称的“世界乡村音乐的圣地”一样，纳什维尔那狂欢的魔力让人感觉回到了故乡。广告和公告板推出新的唱片明星，就象中学年级评语中的赞语一样发布出来，街道内有象罗伊.阿卡夫和却特亚金斯一样的乡村音乐传奇人物的名字。音乐的城市（纳什维尔的支持者喜欢这样称呼它）甚至引起了非乡村音乐歌手的注意---从琼.贝兹到杰罗.比亚夫---虽然他们的评论并不总是有利。还有，这个城市用它商标似的音乐赢得了声誉，毫无疑问---纳什维尔的歌曲是那么的悦耳易记。
*Nashville     (n.)  纳什维尔 (美国田纳西州首府)
*LA=Latin America    拉丁美洲
*accolade     (n.)  赞美, 称赞
*staked     (adj.)  拿…冒险


Straddling the Cumberland River in northern central Tennessee, Nashville lies midway between the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. From the state capitol - the city's highest point - a busy, compact downtown of narrow one-way streets and high-rise office buildings slopes eastward to Broadway, Nashville's central artery. Southeast of the capitol along 2nd Ave and Broadway, the renovation of historic commercial buildings has carved a downtown tourist destination called 'the District. ' Music Row, the other main commercial district, is less than a mile southwest of downtown.


    纳什维尔位于北方的中心田纳西州，跨越了坎伯兰河，主要部分在五大湖和墨西哥湾之间。从州议会大厦---城市的最高点---到忙碌，紧凑，狭窄得只有单行街的商业区，高层办公大楼，向东倾斜到百老汇，是纳什维尔中心的动脉。从议会大厦往东南，沿着第二大街和百老汇，修整后的历史性商业建筑物已经被铭刻为商业区游客的目的地，被叫做“区域”。音乐街，另一个主要商业区，位于商业区西南的一英里处。
*straddle     (v.)  跨越,分腿站立于


In the rest of sprawling Nashville, it's hard to pinpoint what constitutes a neighborhood, but a few are easily discernible. Elliston Place is a compact stretch of bohemian alternative culture about a mile west of downtown and north of West End Ave. South of this is the Vanderbilt University campus. East of Elliston Place and abutting the university, Centennial Park is the site of the mock. Parthenon leftover from the Centennial Exposition of 1897. This whole area is known as West End, and it centers on a cluster of restaurants along Broadway and West End Ave on either side of the university; you might also hear it referred to as 'Around Vanderbilt.'


   在纳什维尔延伸开的其它地方，很难准确指出它附近一个地区的组成，但是有一些比较容易辨别。埃利斯顿在商业区西面一英里处，西伦敦大街的北方，波希米亚等其它文化在这儿有着小的延伸。南面是凡德比尔大学校园。埃利斯顿的东面和邻接大学的地方，有百年纪念公园，它是模拟来的地方。来自于帕台农神庙的剩余部分，神庙在1897年举办过百年博览会。整个的区域被称为西伦敦区，它的中心是一群餐厅，沿着百老汇和西伦敦大街，位于大学的两边，你也可能听过它被称为“范德比尔特的周围”。
*pinpoit     (v.)  准确地确定
*discernible     (adj.)  可辨别的
*abutting      (adj.)   邻接的

Many tourists never set foot in downtown Nashville, confining their visit to the massive Opryland complex a few miles northeast of town. Here, the prefabricated. Music Valley boasts budget motels, franchise restaurants and outlet stores.


    许多旅游者从不去纳什维尔的商业区，都把他们的旅行限制在城镇的东北面，大型的奥普里兰联合娱乐区内。这里，都是精心设计的。音乐山谷自豪的拥有着预算汽车旅馆，特许权餐厅和出口商店。
*prefabricated     (adj.)  预先构思的,预先制造的
