41、nd,参考译文迪斯尼世界 1 在佛罗里达的迪斯尼世界是世界上最大的娱乐胜地。占地面积为二万四千四百英亩，是曼哈顿的两倍。于1971年10月1日,也就是华尔特迪斯尼去世五年后开放，它要比洛杉矶附近的迪斯尼乐园更大更有宏伟。一提到华尔特迪斯尼，外国人都会想到白雪公主和七个小矮人，还有他所创造的其他著名卡通人物，米老鼠、唐老鸭、布鲁托、还有其它有关大自然的电影，但依某些人看来，那些粗俗的解说和音乐背景破坏了电影中那些优秀的摄影。,参考译文迪斯尼世界2 在迪斯尼世界没有任何俗气的东西。它吸引了具有极高品位的人及大部分工薪阶层以及从学步的小孩到爷爷一代各个年龄段的人。它包括两个豪华酒店，一个高尔夫球场，
42、还有用来骑马的森林小道和用来划独木舟的小河，但是最具吸引力的要数梦幻王国。,参考译文迪斯尼世界3 在巨大的停车场和梦幻王国中间有一个宽广的人工湖，远处是高耸的灰姑娘城堡，它和王国里的其它建筑一样都是由坚硬的材料构建而成。甚至进入梦幻王国本身就是一个冒险活动。你可以选择交通工具，比如你可以乘密西西比明轮船的复制品穿过湖泊，或者也可以乘流线型的单钢轨火车沿着海岸环行。,参考译文 迪斯尼世界 4 到达终点站一直走就可以进入到正对美国大街的小广场。美国大街建于19世纪晚期，建筑里面有现代化的商店，但所有的门面都是那个年代的，上面还挂着装满红色或白色花的篮子，并且除了马拉车和古代的双层公共汽车就没有其它
43、的交通工具了。但当你穿过梦幻王国，实际上你是走在地下公路网的最顶端。这就是梦幻王国的商店、餐馆和其它所需物质无形供应的方式。,参考译文 迪斯尼世界 5 梦幻王国不只提供娱乐，还可以给我们带来很多的启示。你经过的每个地方都会有人（和动物）的模型。比如在名人纪念馆就有从乔治华盛顿以来每届美国总统的模型。迪斯尼世界的一大特征是这些模型可以走动并且还会讲话。总统们的讲话都是他们生前讲过的内容。然后，还有旋转木马，你可以体验到从19世纪90年代到20世纪70年代的美国家庭四代人的生活。爸爸一直在讲话，常年不改原样，他的狗也是一直在摇摆着尾巴。但是他的衣服、家具，尤其是厨房设施在发生着变化。爸爸一直保持兴
44、奋乐观的状态并且清楚地表达进步真是太好了。每个场景结束他都会说：“电改善了我们的生活，我们生活在一个多么了不起的的时代啊！”这时你会突然意识到这个场景是由通用电气公司展示的。,参考译文 迪斯尼世界 6 美国无线电公司是著名的电子公司，主管未来王国的太空山脉。对于许多人来说，太空山脉是梦幻王国之旅的高潮。因为在其深处有个可怕的过山车，这里除了流星碰撞和一些太空残片带来一丝光明外几乎是漆黑一片。在跨进太空车之前你会被告诫：必须身体健康，无心脏病，不恋母，不体弱，无其它的生理缺陷。当你从车里出来时，也就是太空旅游的最后一站时，你会被一个护士和一副担架的迎接。,参考译文 迪斯尼世界 7 当你离开太空山
45、脉时，美国无线电公司展示给你的是它对未来生活充满希望的想象。乘着电梯往上走你会穿过很多装有特殊电视机的房间。妈妈正坐在有一排按钮的仪表盘前的桌子旁。墙上挂着很大的电视屏幕。她想通过这台电视来看看孩子的情况。她按了一个按钮，孩子便出现在屏幕上，孩子安然无恙！她便决定电视购物。于是这台电视带她逛超市。她通过麦克风订购货品！,参考译文 迪斯尼世界 8.除此之外还有：奇遇王国，边域世界，自由广场,幻想世界，要想游遍整个梦幻王国需要两天时间，但是值得一游，而且价格公道。9.虽然迪斯尼世界在美国，但它更是世界知名的娱乐场所，它不仅在日常生活中吸引了很多成年人，同样每天还吸引了成千上万的来自世界各地的儿童，
46、所以迪斯尼世界已成为地球上人类的天堂。,1.Because the Magic Kingdom is the biggest theme park of Disney World in Florida and its a place of excitement and thrills for everyone.The Magic Kingdom provides more than amusement.,2.The Magic Kingdom provides more than amusement.It instructs as well.Almost everywhere you go,t

49、y a bombardment of meteors and space debris.,4.Yes,I think it an adventure to take a roller coaster.Because you are warned before you step into your car that you must be“in good health,free from heart condition,mother sickness,weakness or other physical limitations!”When you step from your car at th
