How to Sample New York City in a Day体验纽约一日游
作者: 凯特·斯托姆 张菊/译介While seeing New York City in a day is, of course, an exercise in futility, with some careful planning and a little luck, you might be surprised at just how many of the city’s most iconic sights you’ll be able to see!
一天逛完纽约自然不可能,但周密计划加一点运气,你可能会收获惊喜——居然能看到这座城市这么多最有标志性的景点!
Morning: Brooklyn Bridge + DUMBO1 + (Maybe) Financial District
上午:布鲁克林大桥+丹波区+(也许)金融区
Kick off your one day in NYC with a stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge. The closer to sunrise you arrive at the Brooklyn Bridge, the more pleasant both your walk across it and the rest of your one day in New York will be.
漫步穿过布鲁克林大桥,从这儿开始你的纽约一日游吧。抵达大桥的时间越接近日出,桥上漫步以及余下的纽约一日游时光就越愉快。
The views of the Manhattan skyline, the bridge itself, and even the Statue of Liberty in the distance are absolutely delightful, and there’s no better way to start your day in New York!
曼哈顿天际线、大桥本身,乃至远处的自由女神像,这些景色绝对赏心悦目——没有比这更好的方式开启在纽约的一天了!
We’re assuming here that you’ll start on the Manhattan side of the bridge and walk to Brooklyn/DUMBO, but if you’d rather start on the Brooklyn side, no problem—simply reverse the first two items on this list.
在此,我们假设你是从大桥连接曼哈顿的那端开始,步行到布鲁克林或丹波区;但如果你是从布鲁克林区那端开始,也没问题——将本单前两项调换即可。
Snap some photos around DUMBO
在丹波区周围拍些照
Once you cross the Brooklyn Bridge, you’ll be deposited in Dumbo. It won’t take long, but since you just walked all the way to Brooklyn, it’s worth snapping some photos at some of NYC’s most popular photo spots. Visit Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pebble Beach, and Jane’s Carousel, which are all in the immediate2 area. And of course, don’t forget to stop by the intersection of Washington Street and Front Street, where you can capture the iconic Manhattan Bridge photo for yourself—be sure to note the way that the Empire State Building is perfectly framed in the arch of the bridge.
穿过布鲁克林大桥,你将置身丹波区。这不会花很长时间,但既然是一路走到布鲁克林,还是值得在纽约最受欢迎的取景点拍几张照片。不妨去看看布鲁克林大桥公园、鹅卵石海滩和简氏旋转木马,这些都在附近区域。当然,别忘了在华盛顿街和前街的十字路口停一停,在那儿,你可以亲手拍到标志性的曼哈顿大桥照片——注意构图时将帝国大厦完美地框在桥拱当中。
Optional: check out the Financial District
金融区:可去可不去
I’ll be honest: I’m hesitant to include the Financial District on this NYC in a day guide because adding these sights is really pushing the envelope of what you can see in NYC in a (realistic) day given everything else that is included here. However, if you wake up very, very early, manage your transportation carefully, and speed through a few sights (like perhaps not walking all the way across the Brooklyn Bridge and only going to the halfway point and turning around, or if you’re willing to not spend much time in Central Park), it technically can be done, and I know some visitors to New York may want to include these popular sights in Lower Manhattan: Wall Street’s Charging Bull3, the NYC Stock Exchange, Trinity Church, Oculus Building4 and 9/11 Memorial.
老实说,将金融区列入这篇纽约一日游指南我很犹豫——考虑到本文建议的其他景点,加上金融区确实会挑战纽约一日游(实际)可看景色的极限。但如果你起得很早很早,交通方面也规划得很好,并快速游览了一些景点(比如,也许不走完布鲁克林大桥,走到中途就掉头;或者不打算在中央公园花太多时间),从技术上来说,看看金融区也是可以做到的。就我所知,一些到纽约的游客还是想尽览曼哈顿下城区的这些热门景点:华尔街铜牛、纽约证券交易所、三一教堂、“眼窗”大厦及9·11国家纪念博物馆。
Afternoon: Midtown + An Epic View of the City
下午:中城区+令人印象深刻的市景
This one day in New York itinerary doesn’t really leave time to explore the Met5 itself, but the building is a great place to start the next part of your day, whether you’re arriving via metro, cab or Uber, and whether you’re coming from the Financial District or from DUMBO. Drop by the steps quickly, and then head into Central Park!
本纽约一日游行程并没有真正留出时间细探大都会艺术博物馆本身,但无论你是坐地铁、乘出租车还是优步打车,无论你是从金融区还是丹波区来,这栋建筑都是开始一日游下一行程的好去处。在门前台阶上略作停留,然后直奔中央公园!
Make your way to Central Park for a quick walk
前往中央公园,走马观花
From your starting place at the Met, a fairly quick-paced 30-minute or a more leisurely 45-minute stroll through the park will take you past some of its best-known attractions, including the Alice in Wonderland statue, the Loeb Boathouse with its pretty rowboats, the Bethesda Terrace, and the Central Park Carousel.
从大都会艺术博物馆出发,步履稍快的用30分钟,从容点则用45分钟,在中央公园走走逛逛,你会经过一些最著名的景点,如爱丽丝梦游仙境雕像、有漂亮划艇的洛布船坞餐厅、毕士达露台和中央公园旋转木马。
Once you reach the southern edge of the park, you’ll be right next to the Plaza Hotel and ready to head down Fifth Avenue.
一旦走到公园最南边,你离广场酒店也就不远了,可从此处沿着第五大道前行。
Stroll down Fifth Avenue and check out iconic spots
沿第五大道漫步,打卡标志性景点
New York’s Fifth Avenue is among the most famous streets on the planet, and it’s packed with some of the most famous storefronts and tourist sights in the world!
纽约第五大道当属地球上最有名的街道之一,一些世界最知名的商店和观光景点在此扎堆!
Here are just a few things not to miss during your walk down Fifth Avenue: The Plaza Hotel, Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and New York Public Library.
漫步第五大道,有几个地方一定不要错过:广场酒店、洛克菲勒中心、圣帕特里克大教堂及纽约公共图书馆。
Take a short detour to visit Grand Central Terminal
绕点路去参观大中央车站
Grand Central Terminal, with its stunning interior and incredible turquoise ceiling, should absolutely be on your one day in New York itinerary! You won’t need long here, but considering that it’s just a short walk from Fifth Avenue, it’s definitely worth seeing in person. If you’re hungry and an oyster fan, also consider stopping by the iconic and beautiful Grand Central Oyster Bar for a snack.
纽约大中央车站绝对应该放在你的纽约一日游行程中。车站内部装饰令人叹为观止,绿松石天花板更是美轮美奂!在这儿不需要花费很长时间,但考虑到它离第五大道只有很短的步行路程,绝对值得亲自去看一看。如果饿了,又爱吃牡蛎,还可以考虑去大中央车站的标志性餐厅——漂亮的中央车站牡蛎吧——吃点小吃。
