原文及翻譯
By the 1830s, people were able to come to the falls by railway. As more and more people came, the tourist industry developed. Early tourism was not well regulated, and there were many complaints about cheats and swindles.
到了 19 世紀(jì) 30 年代,人們可以乘火車前往瀑布。隨著越來越多的人前來,旅游業(yè)也發(fā)展起來了。早期的旅游業(yè)管理不善,有很多關(guān)于欺騙和詐騙的投訴。
Today, there are similar complaints about tourist junk and high prices. The majority of tourists stay on the Canadian side. There are two falls separated by an island, since the Niagara River forms the boundary here between Canada and the United States.
今天,也有類似的關(guān)于旅游垃圾和高價格的投訴。大多數(shù)游客都住在加拿大一側(cè)。兩個瀑布被一個島嶼隔開,因為尼亞加拉河是加拿大和美國的邊界。
Each country has one of the falls. The Canadian Horseshoe Falls is wider and more impressive than the American Rainbow Falls. About nine times more water goes over the Canadian Falls.
每個國家都有一個瀑布。加拿大馬蹄瀑布比美國彩虹瀑布更寬,更令人印象深刻。流過加拿大瀑布的水量大約是后者的九倍。
Nonetheless, there is much to be seen on the American side. The island in the middle, Goat Island, is one of the best places to view the falls and rapids. It is on the American side.
盡管如此,美國一側(cè)也有很多值得一看的地方。中間的山羊島是觀賞瀑布和急流的最佳地點之一。它位于美國一側(cè)。
Newly married couples began coming to Niagara Falls when it was still a secluded, peaceful, and romantic spot. It is still popular with newlyweds as a relatively inexpensive and convenient place to spend their honeymoon.
當(dāng)尼亞加拉瀑布還是一個僻靜、寧靜而浪漫的地方時,新婚夫婦就開始來這里了。作為一個相對便宜且方便的蜜月勝地,它仍然很受新婚夫婦的歡迎。
