摘自《New York Times》

Shanghai, which literally means the "City on the Sea," lies on the Yangzi River delta at the point where China's main waterway completes its 6300-km journey to the Pacific. Until 1842 Shanghai's location made it merely a small fishing village. After the first Opium War, however, the British named Shanghai a treaty port, opening the city to foreign involvement.
Although Shanghai had its own walled Chinese city, many native residents still chose to live in the foreign settlements. Thus began a mixing of cultures that shaped Shanghai's openness to Western influence. Shanghai became an important industrial center and trading port that attracted not only foreign business people but also Chinese migrants from other parts of the country.
In its heyday, Shanghai was the place to be -- it had the best art, the greatest architecture, and the strongest business in Asia.

Shanghai, which literally means the "City on the Sea," lies on the Yangzi River delta at the point where China's main waterway completes its 6300-km journey to the Pacific. 上海，字面意思為“海上的城市”,其坐落在長江三角洲地區(qū)；中國長達(dá)6300公里的主要水路在這里匯至太平洋。Until 1842 Shanghai's location made it merely a small fishing village. 上海的位置決定了它僅僅是一個(gè)小漁村，直到1842年。After the first Opium War, however, the British named Shanghai a treaty port, opening the city to foreign involvement. 然而，第一次鴉片戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)之后，英國人將上海指定為通商口岸，向外國企業(yè)開放。
Although Shanghai had its own walled Chinese city, many native residents still chose to live in the foreign settlements. 雖然上海當(dāng)時(shí)有自己的用墻隔開的中國人城區(qū)，許多當(dāng)?shù)鼐用袢匀贿x擇住在租借區(qū)。Thus began a mixing of cultures that shaped Shanghai's openness to Western influence. 由此開啟了文化的交融，這種交融塑造了上海對(duì)西方文化影響的開放性。Shanghai became an important industrial center and trading port that attracted not only foreign business people but also Chinese migrants from other parts of the country. 上海成為了重要的工業(yè)中心及貿(mào)易港口，不僅吸引了外國商務(wù)人士，還吸引了來自中國其他城市的外地人。
In its heyday, Shanghai was the place to be -- it had the best art, the greatest architecture, and the strongest business in Asia. 在它的鼎盛時(shí)期，上海是最好的地方--它擁有最好的藝術(shù)、最偉大的建筑和亞洲最強(qiáng)大的商業(yè)環(huán)境。
