怎么介绍一个城市呢？可以从它的人口、环境、经济、教育等等，但是今天我们说的使用另外一种语言来介绍一个城市，英语的想象空间更大，因为每一个单词有很多释义，每个人读下来的理解也是不同的，那以介绍芝加哥为例吧！

 

芝加哥是美国第三大城市,人们将这座城市称为“风城”（The Windy City）、“第二城”（The Second City）、“芝城”（ChiTown）、“世界屠猪城”（Hog Butcher for the World）、“巨肩之城”（City of the Big Shoulders）、“劳动之城”（The City That Works）.如此多的称呼指的都是一座城市——芝加哥（Chicago）.下面是英文Chicago (city, Illinois), city and seat of Cook County, located in northeastern Illinois, on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan, at the mouth of the Chicago River. Chicago is the third largest city in the United States and one of the country’s leading industrial, commercial, transportation, and financial centers.Chicago covers a land area of 588.2 sq km (227.1 sq mi) and extends 47 km (29 mi) along Lake Michigan. It occupies flatland traversed by two short rivers: the Chicago River, which flows west from the lake through the downtown area, where it forks into a North Branch and a South Branch; and the Calumet River, in the south, which connects with the small Lake Calumet. Both rivers are linked by canals with the Illinois and Mississippi rivers, establishing Chicago as the connecting point in the waterway between the Mississippi Valley and the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway. The city’s rapid growth was due in large part to its location, with ready access to markets and raw materials.

 

虽然短短几句话，但是因为阅读者理解能力的问题，可以解释出很多含义。以后在我们做自我介绍时就可以采用用英语表达，也是一种新颖的介绍方式，让大家都觉得很厉害，当然你要拥有一口流利的英语哦，要不然说出来不是自豪而是自黑了！
