英语翻译
Londoners sometimes boast that London is the grandest city in the world.Parisians argue that Paris is the most beautiful.Romans point out with pride that Rome is richer in history than any other city.
New Yorkers never maintain that New York City is the grandest,the most beautiful,or richest in history.Their claim is that their city is the most vital city in the world.
It is not,many believe,an exaggerated claim .The first thing a visitor often notices is that New York City virtually pulsates with life and energy.Is it any wonder that when New Yorkers talk about their city,they describe it almost as a living person?
It has often been said that Americans living outside New York City have two hometowns:their own and New York City.New York City is part of the national consciousness.It is not difficult to understand why.
Most great American writers and playwrights have set one of their tales or plays there.
Many television programs –new,cultural,sporting and dramatic –originate in New York City and are transmitted throughout the nation.One could argue that if you do not go to New York City,New York will find a way to go to you.Still,visiting this famous city is even more fun than seeing it through the eyes of artists and moviemakers.
New York City is often called “The Big Apple”.It was jazz musicians who made up the phrase,“The Big Apple”,to describe something which is the ultimate in size,excitement and achievement.
The Big Apple’s roughly seven million people make it the largest city in the U.S.A,and the sixth largest in the world.These people must be fed,watered,clothed,educated,informed,entertained,exercised,kept heated in winter and cooled in summer.They must also be policed and protected from fire,epidemics,theft,and murder.The Big Apple is usually equal to this gigantic task.
not counting pay TV channels,and thirty-nine AM and FM radio stations provide New Yorkers with news,music,drama,sports and comedy.Theatres,ballets ,concert halls,sixty-five museums ,five zoos,one planetarium,and one aquarium delight and inform the city’s inhabitants .Two basketball teams ,two ice-hockey teams ,and tow racetracks give the Big Apple’s sport fans countless thrills.There is even a harness racing track where jockeys ride in light carriages pulled by trotting horses.For New Yorkers who like to participate in sport,as well as to watch it,there are 538 municipal tennis courts,thirteen golf courses,thirty-seven outdoor and nine indoor swimming pools and facilities for boating and biking.

纽约市：
伦敦人时常自夸伦敦是世界上最伟大的城市,巴黎人认为,巴黎是最美丽的城市,罗马人骄傲地宣称,罗马的历史比其他任何城市都悠久.
纽约人从来不把纽约称为最伟大的、最美丽的或者是拥有悠久历史的城市.他们声称,纽约是世界上最具活力的城市.尽管许多人对此有质疑,但当你以游客的身份来到纽约时,你常常会被它实际存在的鲜活生命力所震撼.纽约人谈论起这座城市时,几乎把它描述成具有生命一般,这难道有什么奇怪的吗?（【纽约是有生命的】~游客都有此感受,作为真正的纽约人有此观点也就不足为怪了~）
美国人常说,生活在纽约城以外的美国人有两个故乡：他们真正的故乡和纽约市.纽约成为了他们民族意识的一部分.因此,两个故乡之说也就不难理解了.
美国最伟大的作家和剧作家都在这里留下了不朽的传世之作.纽约是许多新颖的电视节目、文化风潮、体育新闻和优秀剧本的发源地,然后再从这里传遍全国.可以这么说,如果你不打算去纽约,但纽约总有它特有的一面会吸引你去.而且,亲身游览这座著名的城市,要比只是通过艺术家和电影导演的表现手段来看它更具乐趣.
纽约市的别名称作‘大苹果’,这个别名是一支爵士乐队给它带来的称号,‘大苹果’形象地描述出了这座城市的规模、活力和成就.‘大苹果’大约700万的人口数量,使其成为美国最大的城市和世界第六大城市,这么多人必须吃饭、喝水、穿衣、受教育、与外界联系、娱乐、运动锻炼、冬季取暖和夏季避暑.同时,‘大苹果’还必须适应和应对来自于消防、 流行病、 偷窃和谋杀的各项艰巨任务.
问题补充：
不算付费电视频道,三十九个调频、调幅广播电台为纽约人提供新闻、音乐、戏剧、体育和喜剧广播,剧院、芭蕾舞剧团、音乐厅、六十五个博物馆,五个动物园,一座天文馆,一个海洋游乐城,赋予了城市居民无限活力.两个篮球队、两个冰球团队和两个赛马场给‘大苹果’的体育粉丝们增添了无数的惊险刺激.甚至还有一处提供全套装备的赛马跑道,在那里,骑手们可以坐在轻型赛马车里狂奔.纽约人喜欢参与以及观赏体育活动,这里有五百三十八处市政网球场、十三处高尔夫球场、 三十七个室外和九个室内游泳池、划船、骑自行车的运动设施供人们亲身体验和观摩.
