参考答案

The city I want to live in in the future is Xiamen,a coastal metropolis located in the southeast corner of China,thousands of miles away from here.But the transport is pretty convenient.There are many express trains and several flights to and from there every day.You can easily buy a ticket and have a trip on a whim.

我未来想要居住的城市是厦门，一座位于中国东南角的海滨城市，离这里上千英里远。但其交通便利。每天都有许多高铁和航班往返那里。你可以轻易买到票，来次说走就走的旅行。

I first learnt about this city from the history textbook back in secondary school,which detailed how it was used as a trading point with foreign businessmen after the opium war.But at that time,it was just another city that I needed to memorize to cope with the exam.After I got enrolled in the university,one of my roommates,who is also my best friend,comes from there,and he is so proud of his hometown,always bragging about its food,beautiful sceneries,fresh air,and advanced economy.

我第一次知道这座城市是在初中的历史书上。它详细描述了它如何在鸦片战争之后作为与外国商人进行交易的地点。但那个时候，它不过是另一个我需要记忆以应付考试的城市而已。在我进入大学之后，我的室友，也是我最好的朋友，来自那里。他特别为他的家乡感到骄傲，总是吹嘘那里的食物、美丽的景色，清新的空气，以及发达的经济。

The city is famous for Gulangyu,a small island off its coast and a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site.As a place of residence for Westerners during Xiamen’s colonial past,this island is renowned for its architecture and for hosting China’s only piano museum,giving it the nickname of“The Town of Pianos”or“The Island of Music.It is a major domestic tourist destination,attracting more than 10 million visitors per year.

这座城市因鼓浪屿而闻名，一座海岸边的小岛，也是联合国教科文组织评定的世界文化遗址。作为厦门殖民时期西方人的居住地点，这座岛因其建筑和拥有中国唯一的钢琴博物馆而闻名中外。这也让它被称作“钢琴之乡”，或者“音乐之岛”。它是国内的主要旅游目的地之一，每年都吸引上千万的游客。

But the reason why I want to live there has little to do with this tourist attraction.Born and upbrought in an inland city,the sea always possesses a mysterious enchantment,luring me to get close to it and live by it.And of course,my friend’s boast also contributes to this idea.It is heaven on earth according to his description.

但我想要住在那里的原因跟这一旅游景点几乎无关。作为一个在内陆城市出生长大的人，海洋总是有种神秘的魅力，吸引我靠近它，在附近居住。当然，我朋友的吹嘘也起了很大作用。根据他的描述，那里就是地上天堂。
