The Bund (外滩 ）
外滩是黄浦江岸的一条宽阔的大道，约 1.5公里
长。许多具有西方风格的建筑物矗立在岸边，
他们曾经是一些西方国家政治、经济、文化
的指挥部。过去外滩曾被戏称为中国的华尔
街。外滩的历史可看作是现代上海历史的缩
影。现在外滩与对岸的摩天大楼交相辉映，
成了中国东西文化合璧、古今鲜明对照的最
典型的地段。上海的游客不到外滩，就不可
能摸触到这个城市当今时代的脉搏。
The Bund (外滩）
The Bund is a wide boulevard on the bank of the Huangpu
River,It is about 1.5 kilometers long,There are many
western-styled buildings standing along the bank,They
used to be the political,economic and cultural headquarters
of some western countries,It was nicknamed as the
Chinese Wall Street in the old days,The history of the Bund
could be considered (as) the epitome of the history of
modern Shanghai,
Now contrasting magnificently with the skyscrapers on the
other side of the river,it has become China’s most typical
area with a wonderful blend of oriental and occidental
cultures and a striking contrast between the past and the
present,A visitor to Shanghai cannot possibly feel the pulse
of the present era of the city if he or she does not have a
look around the Bund.
