1.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 schedule 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， oftenpaired 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.
