Convent Avenue, Harlem, New York City

美國紐約市哈勒姆區康文特大街

New York City is blessed with some of the most architecturally arresting streets in the world. But Harlem's Convent Avenue stands out from the pack, thanks to its knockout buildings and tree-lined sidewalks.

紐約市得天獨厚,擁有世界上建築風格最引人注目的街道。但是,哈勒姆的康文特大街卻因其迷人的建築和綠樹成蔭的人行道脫穎而出。

knockout [ˈnɒkaʊt]:adj.迷人的

The stretch between West 140th and 145th streets is the most impressive, including the Convent Avenue Baptist Church and 339 Convent Avenue, a.k.a., The Royal Tenenbaums' house.

Lombard St, San Francisco

美國舊金山朗伯德街(又稱九曲花街)

Famed for its eight hairpins, Lombard Street is one of San Francisco's busiest attractions.

朗伯德街因8個急轉彎道而著稱,是舊金山最繁忙的旅遊景點之一。

And while the crowds lining up to take shots for Instagram can get a bit much, they shouldn't put you off going.

雖然排着長隊等候拍照上傳到社交網站的人羣可能太擁擠了,但是一定不要停下腳步。

Said to be the most crooked street in the world, the views from the top are worth the trip alone, while the surrounding buildings of Russian Hill are added eye candy.

朗伯德街被譽爲世界上最彎曲的街道,登高遠眺,景色迷人,不虛此行。而俄羅斯山一帶的建築更是錦上添花。

Caminito, La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina

阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯市拉博卡區卡米尼託大街

Meaning "the little path," Caminito is the most colorful street in the most colorful area of Buenos Aires.

卡米尼託,意思是“小徑”。它位於布宜諾斯艾利斯市最色彩斑斕的城區,同時也是最色彩斑斕的街道。

The street fell into disrepair in the 1950s after the railroad which ran through the area closed (the tracks are still here), before local Artist Benito Quinquela Martín set about regenerating the area.

20世紀50年代,貫穿城區的鐵路關閉後(鐵軌今猶在),卡米尼託大街一度破敗失修,之後當地藝術家貝尼託·金克拉·馬丁開始重振這個城區。

Today, Caminito is a street museum, its blue, yellow and green tenements showcasing works by local artists.

如今,卡米尼託大街堪稱街道博物館,它那藍黃綠公寓樓展示着當地藝術家的作品。

The Philosopher's Walk, Kyoto, Japan

日本京都哲學之道

Alongside the canal that runs between Ginkaku-Ji and Nanzen-Ji, the Philosopher's Walk is Japan's most picturesque street, thanks to the cherry trees which crowd both banks.

哲學之道位於銀閣寺與南禪寺之間的運河河岸。由於兩岸種滿了櫻花,哲學之道成爲日本最美街道,可謂風景如畫。

It's best seen during sakura, cherry blossom, season which tends to start in early April and lasts for around two weeks. The path is named after Nishida Kitaro, the philosopher who meditated on this route daily.

最美季節就是櫻花盛開之時,從四月初開始持續兩週時間。這條路是以哲學家西田幾多郎的名字命名的,他每天走過這條路時都在思考問題。

Flask Walk, Hampstead, London, England

英國倫敦漢普斯特德的弗拉斯克步行街

It's easy to miss the entrance to Flask Walk, just a few steps down the hill from Hampstead Tube station.

弗拉斯克步行街的入口很容易走過,離漢普斯特德地鐵站的山下僅幾步之遙。

This quintessentially London street starts as a narrow pedestrian alleyway, passing a traditional pub and beautiful Victorian shopfronts before opening out into one of the city's most gorgeous residential streets, all tumbling townhouses and impressive mansions.

這條典型的倫敦街道始於一條狹窄的人行小巷,走過一家傳統酒吧和美麗的維多利亞時代店面,街道變得寬闊起來,於是就來到了城市最絢麗的居民街道,那裏全部是歪斜狀的別墅和令人印象深刻的宅邸。

quintessentially [ˌkwɪntɪˈsenʃəli]:adv.典型地;標準地

Cockburn Street, Edinburgh, Scotland

蘇格蘭愛丁堡科克本街

Winding up from Waverley Station into Edinburgh's Old Town, Cockburn Street is a feat of Victorian architecture and design.

從韋弗利火車站蜿蜒而上,一路到達愛丁堡老城,科克本街堪稱維多利亞時代的建築設計精華。

The steep, curving street was developed in the 1850s, cutting through medieval neighborhoods with the aim of offering easier access to the new train station. Until then, travelers had to use the steep steps and dark alleyways down from the Royal Mile to catch their trains.

陡峭蜿蜒的街道建於19世紀50年代,穿過中世紀街區,目的是開闢一條通往新火車站的捷徑。在此之前,遊客不得不沿着陡峭的臺階和黑暗的巷子走過皇家一英里街道趕火車。

“天空之傘”項目成了這座城市每年7月至9月舉行的一年一度的阿吉塔格達藝術節的必不可少的一部分。

Cables are strung from the rooftops and hung with umbrellas, in a bid to mitigate against the summer heat, as well as provide a colorful backdrop from events and classes.

線纜從屋頂上拉過,傘掛在線纜上用以緩解夏日炎熱,併爲各種活動提供絢麗的背景。

Blue City, Jodhpur, India

印度“藍色之城”焦特布爾

The warren of streets through the Blue City which stands beneath the hulking Mehrangarh Fort are the perfect place to get lost.

“藍色之城”位於龐大的梅赫蘭格爾堡之下,那裏密密麻麻的狹窄街道特別容易迷路。

The narrow, winding and seemingly endless alleys are lined with buildings that were painted blue to signify the presence of the Brahmin, or priest, caste.

狹窄、蜿蜒、看似沒有盡頭的巷道兩旁排滿了塗成藍色的房子,藍色象徵婆羅門種姓。

The best views are from atop the fort, although for an authentic experience, it's essential to take a stroll through these historic alleyways.

從堡頂俯瞰山下,景色最爲優美,不過爲了體驗原汁原味,還是有必要漫步穿過這些歷史古道。

Square de Montsoris, Paris, France

法國巴黎蒙蘇里廣場

Connecting Parc Montsoris with Avenue Reille, it's easy to miss the entrance to this private cobbled road. The houses are among Paris's most architecturally refined, adorned with mosaics and stained glass.

Many are ivy covered, with the street akin to a woodland path in summer as the small gardens flourish.

很多房子上爬滿了常春藤,一到夏天,小花園枝繁葉茂,街道就像一條林間小路。
