San Francisco 旧金山 Limited to its peninsula, San Francisco's scent is as sharply defined as its borders: soft clouds, smooth pine, sharp eucalyptus, and cold ocean. Depending on where you go, you can add to that mix grass and the heather-like smell of scrub (the hills); old wood used in the housing stock (especially on the block where the Painted Ladies stand); and a weird dry dampness that is cool and a little isolating. Sometimes the city's perfume is mixed with the heady scent of dry California desert. It may be the most beautiful-smelling skyline in the world. 因为受到半岛地形的影响,旧金山的气味和它的边界一样分明:柔软的云,光滑的松木,锋利的桉树,和冰冷的海洋。你去往不同的地方,便会混合草和石南的气味;家用的历经沧桑的木材(尤其是那些脂粉聚集之处)的气味;奇怪的燥湿气味,凉爽又有些冷漠。有时,城市的气味还混合了干燥的加利福尼亚沙漠的醉人香味。它可能是世界上气味最棒的地方。 |
