原文及翻译

Today, California contains some of the largest cities in the United States. Within the greater Los Angeles area, one can find Hollywood, known as the movie capital of the world. Many rich people live in suburbs such as Beverly Hills, and many poor people live in other neighborhoods throughout the city. 

如今，加州拥有美国一些最大的城市。在大洛杉矶地区，可以找到被称为世界电影之都的好莱坞。许多富人住在比弗利山等郊区，许多穷人住在城市各处的其他街区。

The Los Angeles area is home to over 15 million people, many of whom have immigrated to the United States from Mexico and from many Asian countries. Los Angeles is a very large city that has spread across a great area. As a consequence, the city has many traffic jams, and air pollution, or smog is sometimes a problem. Further north is the city of San Francisco, one of the most beautiful cities in the United States. 

洛杉矶地区有1500多万人口，其中许多人从墨西哥和许多亚洲国家移民到美国。洛杉矶是一个非常大的城市，分布在很大的地区。因此，这座城市交通拥堵，空气污染或烟雾有时是个问题。再往北是旧金山市，它是美国最美丽的城市之一。

The image of the Golden Gate Bridge, which crosses the harbor of San Francisco, is famous around the world. Also famous are the hilly streets of San Francisco and the trolley cars that provide transportation along them. San Francisco's Chinese community is one of the largest in North America, and the city also contains a vibrant artistic and cultural life. 

横跨旧金山港的金门大桥的形象举世闻名。旧金山的丘陵街道和沿街提供交通的有轨电车也很有名。旧金山的华人社区是北美最大的社区之一，这座城市还拥有充满活力的艺术和文化生活。

San Francisco was destroyed by an earthquake in 1906 and was damaged again in 1989. California has always had a special place in the imagination of Americans. This is hardly surprising, given the variety and diversity of this vast state.

旧金山在 1906 年的一场地震中被摧毁，1989 年又遭到破坏。加州在美国人的想象中一直占有特殊的地位。考虑到这个幅员辽阔、文化多元的州，这并不奇怪。
