夏威夷印象
For most of us, Hawaii begins to weave her spell with some little glimmer of awareness. Golden beaches and golden people. Sun, sand, sea, and surf...And somewhere between the blue skies and the palm trees...we’re hooked.
The Hawaiian Islands are one of the most beautiful places on earth. The weather is friendly. The temperature ranges from 60-90 degrees all year long. It’s a little warmer in summer, and a little cooler in winter, but every day is a beach day for somebody.
There are no strangers in Paradise. Perhaps the most beautiful part of Hawaii is the genuine warmth of people. We call it the spirit of Aloha. It has allowed a melting pot of cultures from all over the world to find common ground, and a new home, in this most gentle of places.
對於大多數人來說，那些星星點點的關於夏威夷的印象，足以讓我們沉浸在她的魅力之中了。金色的海灘、金色的人們。陽光、沙灘、大海、浪花……在藍天和棕櫚樹之間，我們流連忘返。
夏威夷群島是世界上最美麗的地方之一。這裏氣候怡人，氣溫常年在華氏60～90度之間。冬暖夏涼，對於某些人來說每天都是曬太陽的好日子。
在這個人間天堂，人們不會有陌生感。也許夏威夷人與生俱來的熱情才是這裏的真正魅力之所在。我們稱之為愛的精神。作為世界上最文明地方之一的夏威夷，同時也是個多元文化的大熔爐。

第一章 Spotlight on Copenhagen (1)
美不勝收的哥本哈根
Are you too old for fairy tales? If you think so, Copenhagen is sure to change your mind.
See the city first from the water. In the harbor sits Denmark’s best-known landmark: the Little Mermaid. Remember her? She left the world of the Sea People in search of a human soul in one of Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fantasies. From the harbor you can get a feel for the attractive“city of green spires.”At twilight or in cloudy weather, the copper-covered spires of old castles and churches lend the city a dream-like atmosphere. You’ll think you’ve stepped into a watercolor painting.
