　　悉尼建筑

　　Sydney's heart is the harbor.What began as a penal colony in 1788,would within a century be transformed in an area known as The Rocks,Sydney soon strew off its convict shackles and blossomed into a gracious city,filled with Victorian Architecture and public gardens.

　　港口是悉尼心脏所在。悉尼1788年开始作为流放罪犯的殖民地，却在一个世纪后变成了人间天堂。悉尼在“岩石区”开始了这段艰辛而又困难重重的开拓之路。但是很快就抛开了枷锁，成为了一个很好的，四处可见维多利亚式建筑以及公共花园的城市。

　　New arrivals came by the boatload in search of a new life.The city expended,int gorgeous inner city suburbs like Padding-ton,harbor neighborhoods like Rose Bay,and into beach-side communities up and down the coast.

　　一船又一船的新移民蜂拥而来，到这里来寻找自己新的人生。这座城市不断扩张，向外延伸到帕丁顿一些绝美的内陆市郊、玫瑰湾等港口腹地，以及沿海区一带的滨海社区。
