查了一下网络全书下面是一些美国景点的介绍
White House
formerly known as the Executive Mansion (1810–1902) the official office and residence of the president of the United States at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. in Washington, D.C. The White House and its landscaped grounds occupy 18 acres (7.2 hectares). Since the administration of George Washington (1789–97), who occupied presidential residences in New York and Philadelphia, every American president has resided at the White House. Originally called the “President's Palace” on early maps, the building was officially named the Executive Mansion in 1810 in order to avoid connotations of royalty. Although the name “White House” was commonly used from about the same time (because the mansion's white-gray sandstone contrasted strikingly with the red brick of nearby buildings), it did not become the official name of the building until 1902, when it was adopted by President Theodore Roosevelt (1901–09). The White House is the oldest federal building in the nation's capital.

Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls in the Niagara River, W N.Y. and S Ont., Canada; one of the most famous spectacles in North America. The falls are on the international line between the cities of Niagara Falls, N.Y., and Niagara Falls, Ont. Goat Island splits the cataract into the American Falls (167 ft/51 m high and 1,060 ft/323 m wide) and the Horseshoe, or Canadian, Falls (158 ft/48 m high and 2,600 ft/792 m wide). The governments of the United States and Canada control the appearance of the surrounding area, much of which has been included in parks since 1885.
The earliest written description of the falls is that of Louis Hennepin (in Nouvelle Découverte, 1697), who was with the expedition of Robert Cavelier, sieur de La Salle, the French explorer, in 1678. In the 19th cent., daredevils attempted to brave the falls in barrels, boats, and rubber balls. The great Blondin performed (1859) on a tightrope over the falls, which continue to be a major center of international tourism. Historical and natural history material relating to the region is in the Niagara Falls Museum in the city of Niagara Falls, N.Y.
Panama Canal
Panama Canal waterway across the Isthmus of Panama, connecting the Atlantic (by way of the Caribbean Sea) and Pacific oceans, built by the United States (1904-14) on territory leased from the republic of Panama . The canal, running S and SE from Limón Bay at Colón on the Atlantic to the Bay of Panama at Balboa on the Pacific, is 40 mi (64 km) long from shore to shore and 51 mi (82 km) long between channel entrances. The Pacific terminus is 27 mi (43 km) east of the Caribbean terminus. The minimum depth is 41 ft (12.5 m).
From Limón Bay a ship is raised by Gatún Locks (a set of three) to an elevation 85 ft (25.9 m) above sea level, traverses Gatún Lake, then crosses the Continental Divide through Gaillard (formerly Culebra) Cut and is lowered by Pedro Miguel Lock to Miraflores Lake and then by the Miraflores Locks (a set of two) to sea level. The average tidal range on the Atlantic side is less than a foot (.3 m); that on the Pacific side is 12.6 ft (3.8 m).
Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park in nw Wyoming and reaching into Montana and Idaho, USA. Established in 1872, it is the oldest and one of the largest US national parks. Formed by volcanic activity, the park contains c.10,000 hot springs (including the giant Hot Springs) and 200 geysers (the most famous of which is "Old Faithful"). Other scenic attractions include Yellowstone River and the petrified forests. It is one of the world's greatest wildlife sanctuaries. In 1988 large-scale forest fires devastated much of the park.

❸ 美国旧金山旅游景点介绍。
旧金山最有名的风景是缆车、金门大桥、海湾大桥、泛美金字塔、渔人码头及唐人街
金门大桥(Golden Gate Bridge)
金门桥建于1937年,耗资达三百万美元,是世界上最大的单孔吊桥之一,金门桥长达2780米,从海面到桥中心部的高度约为67米。桥两端有两座高达227米的塔。金门桥桔黄色的桥梁两端矗立着钢柱,用粗钢索相连,钢索中点下垂,几乎接近桥身,钢索和桥身用一根根细钢绳连接起来。整座金门桥显得朴素无华而又雄伟壮观。为了纪念设计者工程师史特劳斯,人们把他的铜像安放在桥畔。金门桥落成当天,有20万人兴高采烈地走过大桥来庆祝这个日子。今天金门桥是世界上最繁忙的桥梁之一,每天都约有10万辆汽车从桥上隆隆驶过。
渔人码头(Fisherman’s Wharf)
渔人码头过去曾是意大利渔夫的停泊码头,如今已是旧金山最热门的去处,终年热闹非凡。杰弗逊街和泰勒街交汇处的巨蟹标记是渔人码头的象征。各国观光客来到旧金山都要来这里享受一顿新鲜美味的海产宴。码头附近还有海洋公园博物馆等。
九曲花街
斜街是旧金山的一大特色。从浪巴街到利文街这一段是一个大下坡,市政当局为了防止交通事故,特意修筑花坛,车行至此,只能盘旋而下,时速不得超过5英里,这段街道因此有“世界上最弯曲的街道”之称。来到旧金山,游客大多要来这里考验一下自己的驾驶技术。车道两边的花坛里种满了玫瑰,街两边家家户户也都在门口养花种草,花开时节,远远望去,有如一幅斜挂着的绒绣,美不胜收,“花街”的美名,因此而来。
唐人街 (Chinatown)
唐人街 是美国城市中最大的唐人街,有120余年的历史。入口处有深绿色中式牌楼和一对石狮子,上书孙中山先生的天下为公四个大字,是唐人街的象征,也是中华文明的象征。其中主要的街道为格兰特街,两侧有许多具有中国色彩的纪念品商店和中国餐馆,来此观光购物的人潮经常挤得水泻不通。西侧与格兰特街平行的斯托克顿街则是当地华裔人士采买物品商店街。

❼ 用英语介绍美国旅游景点
国立美国历史博物馆英文介绍
North side of the Mall, 14th St NW and Constitution Ave; closest Metro Smithsonian.
If you like kitsch, you won't want to miss the bizarre melange of cultural artefacts at the National Museum of American History. George Washington's wooden teeth, Muhammad Ali's boxing gloves, and the ruby slippers Judy Garland wore in the Wizard of Oz are set among didactic displays tracing the country's development. It's not so much a center for scholarly study as a sanctuary for vanishing Americana, incorporating Model T Fords, old post offices and even a restored, turn-of-the-century ice-cream parlor, which still serves up banana splits.
As you enter from the Mall, directly on to the second floor, a sound-and-light display showcases the battered red, white and blue flag that inspired the US national anthem - the Star-Spangled Banner itself, which survived the British bombing of Baltimore harbor ring the War of 1812. The worthier exhibits are also on this floor: an account of the rural farm-based society of the early US stands across from an examination of the mass movement of African-Americans from Southern farms to the wartime instries of northern cities. A lunch counter from Woolworths in Greensboro, North Carolina, evokes the sit-in of 1960, while "American Encounters" focuses on New Mexico, looking at how tourism has affected communities such as the pueblo of Santa Clara and Hispanic Chimayo. On the first floor, the "Information Age" gallery traces communications from Morse's first telegraph to Apple Macintoshes, while separate galleries display in glorious profusion the artefacts and machines that have shaped modern America - from lightbulbs and motorbikes to trains and atomic clocks. The top floor holds political memorabilia (much of it over a century old), stamp and coin collections, old TV sets and typewriters, though two final outstanding exhibits inject a serious tone - "Personal Legacy: the Healing of a Nation" brings together some of the 25,000 items left by relatives at the Vietnam Memorial in DC, while "A More Perfect Union" deals candidly with the shameful internment of Japanese-American citizens ring World War II.
❽ 美国著名的西点军校景点介绍。
西点(west point),作为美国陆军军官学校的同义语而闻名于世。它位于纽约市北80公里处,曾为美国东北部最早的军事要塞,美国独立战争时在此建立过抗英据点。美国军事学校因位于西点,故称西点军校,1802年成立,是世界著名的军事院校。其学员主要由总统、副总统、国会议员选送以及正规军、后备军等推荐。西点的新老毕业生遍布美国军队的各个角落,并且在战场上表现出色。艾森豪威尔、麦克阿瑟、布莱德雷、阿诺德、克拉克、巴顿、李奇微、史迪威等西点毕业生,都成了美国家喻户晓的英雄。
❾ 跪求一篇介绍美国一个景点的英语文章
美国著名景点英文介绍
金门大桥
The Golden Gate Bridge, completed after more than four years of construction at a cost of $35 million, is a visitor attraction recognized around the world. The GGB opened to vehicular traffic on May 28, 1937 at twelve o'clock noon, ahead of schele and under budget, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a telegraph key in the White House announcing the event.
2.华尔街
Wall Street is the name of a narrow street in lower Manhattan in New York City, running east from Broadway downhill to the East River. Considered to be the historical heart of the Financial District, it was the first permanent home of the New York Stock Exchange.
The phrase "Wall Street" is also used as a metonym to refer to American financial markets and financial institutions as a whole. Most New York financial firms are no longer headquartered on Wall Street, but elsewhere in lower or midtown Manhattan, Fairfield County, Connecticut, or New Jersey. JPMorgan Chase, the last major holdout, sold its headquarters tower at 60 Wall Street to Deutsche Bank in November 2001.
3.自由女神
Statue of Liberty
Liberty Enlightening the World, known more commonly as the Statue of Liberty, is a statue given to the United States by France in 1885, standing at Liberty Island in the mouth of the Hudson River in New York Harbor as a welcome to all visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans. The copper statue, dedicated on October 28, 1886, commemorates the centennial of the United States and is a gesture of friendship between the two nations. The sculptor was Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. Gustave Eiffel, the designer of the Eiffel Tower, engineered the internal structure. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc was responsible for the choice of copper in the statue's construction and adoption of the Repoussé technique. The Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable icons of the U.S. worldwide,[1] and, in a more general sense, represents liberty and escape from oppression. The Statue of Liberty was, from 1886 until the Jet age, often the first glimpse of the United States for millions of immigrants after ocean voyages from Europe. It's said that il Sancarlone or the Colossus of Rhodes inspired it.
4.Fifth Avenue is a major thoroughfare in the center of the borough of Manhattan in New York City, USA. It runs through the heart of Midtown and along the eastern side of Central Park, and because of the expensive park-view real estate and historical mansions along its course, it is a symbol of wealthy New York. It is one of the best shopping streets in the world, often paired with London's Oxford Street and the Champs Elysées in Paris. It is one of the most expensive streets in the world, on a par with London and Tokyo lease prices. The "most expensive street in the world" moniker changes depending on currency fluctuations and local economic conditions from year to year. [1] Joseph Winston Herbert Hopkins founded this street. It is the dividing line for the east-west streets in Manhattan, (for example, demarcating the line separating East 59th Street from West 59th Street) as well as the zero-numbering point for street addresses (numbers increase in both directions as one moves away from Fifth, with 1 East 59th Street on the corner at Fifth Avenue, and 300 East 59th Street located several blocks to the East). Fifth Avenue is a one-way street and carries southbound ("downtown") traffic. Some people refer to Fifth Avenue colloquially as "Fashion Ave," but many refrain from it to avoid confusion with the real Fashion Ave, also known as Seventh Avenue. Fifth Avenue extends from the north side of Washington Square Park through Greenwich Village, Midtown, and the Upper East Side
4.第五大道
Fifth Avenue, which was two-way over most of its course until the early 1960s, now allows two-way traffic north of 135th Street only. South of 135th Street, Fifth Avenue allows one-way southbound traffic only while northbound traffic may take Madison Avenue. From 124th Street to 120th Street, Fifth Avenue is cut off by Marcus Garvey Park.
5.帝国大厦
The Empire State Building is a 102-story contemporary Art Deco style building in New York City, declared by the American Society of Civil Engineers to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
Designed by Shreve, Lamb and Harmon, it was finished in 1931. The tower takes its name from the nickname of New York State. Since the September 11th attacks, it is again the tallest building in New York City.
❿ 美国详细名胜古迹介绍
美国除了本土48州外加上阿拉斯加和夏威夷,共50州,领土937万平方公里,人口2.83亿(2001年数据)。领土的广大并不是造就美国今日世界地位的唯一原因,而是一种自由、创新与宽容的精神,成为美国的原动力。自从哥伦布发现新大陆以来,历经独立革命、废奴运动、西进开拓,以及两次世界大战造成的移民风潮,形成了美国现在的多元文化。
美国幅员辽阔,地形复杂,东部大西洋沿岸多为平原丘陵,森林资源丰富,湖泊众多,重要的城市有首都华盛顿、纽约、波士顿、费城、迈阿密;中部的大平原是重要的农牧区,6400公里长的密西西比河纵贯南北,重要的城市有亚特兰大、芝加哥、休斯敦以及新奥尔良等。在大平原的西部大山区,有著名的科罗拉多大峡谷和黄石国家公园;靠太平洋的西海岸地区有风光绮旎、阳光灿烂的加里福尼亚州,旧金山和洛杉矶以及西海岸的重要城市西雅图。在北部近加拿大边界附近,有著名的五大湖游览区,其中最壮观的景点是尼亚加拉大瀑布。此外,位于美国西面太平洋上的夏威夷群岛也是全球闻名的度假胜地。
正因为美国的自然资源得天独厚,美国成为世界第一个创立国家公园的国家。比较有名的是黄石公园、优胜美地、大峡谷等,知名度不高但生态景观特殊的有红木国家公园、冰河国家公园、火山湖国家公园,也是喜好大自然的旅客可参考的去处。
东北新英格兰一带,是欧洲人最早开发的地区,人文景观具有欧洲风味,秋天枫叶红时,格外漂亮,可来此享受北国秋天的气息。南部佛罗里达海滩则是度假胜地,可充分体验南美的拉丁风情。大片的中西部草原和马克吐温所描述的密西西比河风光,纯朴而美丽。纽约的现代气息、洛杉矶的好莱坞文化、旧金山的迷人海港、纽奥良的爵士音乐,拉斯维加斯的赌城,童话世界迪士尼,风靡全球的NBA,无不体现着美国的惊人创造力和无所不包的文化元素。
大体来说,美国的气候还算温和,愈往南愈热,愈往北方或愈靠内陆,气候愈极端。东北部和中西部北方的冬天有相当长的冰雪期,然而,此时的佛罗里达州和加州,却仍然相当热情呢
