13、eles. Foreigners tend to associate Walt Disney with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and with his other famous cartoon characters, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto, or with his nature films, whose superb photography is spoilt, in the opinion of somebody, by the vulgarity of the commentary and mus

14、ical background.,Disney World,III. Text,2 There is very little that could be called vulgar in Disney World.

Text,6 RCA, the famous Electronics Corporation, is in charge of the Space Mountain in Tomorrowland. The Space Mountain is for many the climax of the

24、tion, mother sickness, weakness or other physical limitations! When you step from your car at the end of the space journey you are met by a nurse and a stretcher.,III. Text,7 As you leave the Space Mountain, RCA shows you what it imagines hopefully life will be like in the future. Carried along on a

43、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，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

44、。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

45、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

46、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

47、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，所以迪斯尼世界已成为地球上人类的天堂。,1.

53、ings on earth.,Walt Disney 沃尔特迪斯尼 沃尔特迪斯尼1901年12月5日生于美国芝加哥的一个农民家庭。1923年他在好莱坞卖了一本漫画王国的贵族，然后和支持他的哥哥罗伊迪斯尼共同成立了迪斯尼电影公司。1955年，沃尔特迪斯尼亲自开办了第一个迪斯尼公园。这就是美国西海岸洛杉矶的迪斯尼乐园。1964年沃尔特迪斯尼获得了美国国内的最高奖总统自由勋章。1966年12月15日，伟大的动画大师沃尔特迪斯尼与世长辞。目前，沃尔特迪斯尼集团是世界第二大传媒公司，并在全球经营多家迪斯尼主题公园，每年收入达250亿美元。,Florida 佛罗里达，是美国东南部一州，濒临大西洋和墨西哥湾

54、，人口14,000,000左右。首府塔拉哈西，最大城市杰克逊维尔。,Manhattan 曼哈顿，属美国纽约州东南部纽约市里的一个拥有自治权的区，主要位于曼哈顿岛上，即纽约湾的北头。据说荷兰西印度公司一名叫彼得米纽伊特的职工在1626年用仅值约24美元的货物从居住于曼哈顿的印第安人手中购得此岛。始建时名为新阿姆斯特丹，1664年英国人接管时改称纽约。这儿的定居点迅速发展到了该岛的南头，最终成为了美国的金融、商业和文化中心。,Disneyland 迪斯尼乐园 由沃尔特迪斯尼一手创建的迪斯尼乐园是一个娱乐王国，同时也是世界上最受欢迎的主题乐园之一。整个游乐园占地230英亩，耗资美金1700万元。在此

55、后的几十年里，游乐设施不断推陈出新，目前园区内有超过60项，可以令大人小孩都能狂欢的游乐设施，分别建立在 8个主题乐园之内，包括美国大街、明日世界、幻想世界、米奇卡通城、动物王国、边域世界、纽奥良广场与冒险世界等等。,Los Angeles 洛杉矶曾是西班牙的一部分。1821年墨西哥从西班牙赢得独立，洛杉矶成为墨西哥的领土。1848年，墨西哥在美墨战争中失败，将加利福尼亚割让给美国。1850年4月4日，洛杉矶正式建市。洛杉矶是美国人口最稠密最多样化的地方，全球各地的人移民至此并使用224种不同的语言。同时，洛杉矶拥有全球知名的各种专业与文化领域的机构，也是美国最重要的经济中心之一。,Snow

56、White and the Seven Dwarfs 白雪公主和七个小矮人 最初使用白雪公主这个词的是德国著名童话集格林童话之中的白雪公主。原文讲述了一个可爱美丽的公主因为后母嫉妒其美貌而被迫逃到森林，偶遇善良的七个小矮人。最后在他们帮助下，克服了后母的诅咒，找到真爱的王子的故事。,Mickey Mouse 米老鼠 米老鼠可以说是世界上最出名的老鼠。1928年在世界上第一部有声动画威利汽船中米老鼠正式登上银屏，从此进入娱乐业。米奇以其随和、快乐的天性成为孩子和家庭心目中永远乐观的卡通形象，并为人们所钟爱和信任。,Donald Duck 唐老鸭 唐老鸭是迪士尼最著名的卡通人物之一。一方面他有一个

57、热心肠，并且总是充满好意，但另一方面，他脾气火爆，好与人争执，喜欢夸大事实，经常抱怨生活中的小事和不如意的地方。唐老鸭受到人们喜爱的原因在于，在他身上有一种人性的真实体现，唐老鸭的独特定位，使其有别于完美的米奇，也成为非常流行的卡通人物。,Pluto 布鲁托 布鲁托是迪斯尼经典动画中的角色之一，是米奇忠实、可爱的宠物狗。,Mississippi 密西西比河，是世界第四长河，位于北美洲中南部，也是北美洲流程最长、流域面积最广、水量最大的河流。,George Washington 乔治华盛顿，美国独立战争大陆军总司令乔治华盛顿在1789年当选为美国首任总统。他组织了机构精干的联邦政府，颁布了司法条例，成立了联邦最高法院。因他对美国独立做出重大贡献，被尊为美国国父。,Radio Corporation of America 美国无线电公司(RCA) 美国联邦政府于1919年创建了美国无线电公司，1985年被美国通用电气公司并购，1988年转至汤姆逊麾下。美国联邦政府的支持使得RCA在技术上遥遥领先：广播风靡时期凭借顶尖的技术成为全球无线电的泰斗；在全球沉醉于无线电的魅力时，率先发明了第一台黑白电视机，带领全球进入影像时代；1950年3月29日，美国无线电公司成功地展示出一只全电子彩色电
