SHENYANG

Love a city, just like loving a man—deep and fervent, bearing naysayers a grudge, hoping for the world’s praise. Look at my hometown, where prosperity has become; please enjoy her beauty, just as I’ve shown now.

愛一座城，就像愛一個人，深沉，熱烈，聽不得身邊人的非議，只需要全世界的認可。過來看吧，我的城市，繁華已成；快來玩吧，家鄉(xiāng)之美，如我所現(xiàn)。

In the time that follows, we’ll take you to the city we belong. Get ready to find all “jelly”?emotions lost long.

接下來的時間里，我將帶你逐一走進我的家鄉(xiāng)，無論陌生還是熟悉，希望你都能找到久違的感動。

Shenyang, formerly known as Shengjing or as Fengtian, is a prominent metropolis in northeast China tying on both her heavy industrial and historical base. Leaped across mountains and seas, there are always travelers who marvel at this splendid city where even the sound of yelling can open their hearts.

沈陽，又名盛京、奉天，是遼寧省省會、特大城市、東北地區(qū)中心樞紐城市、國內(nèi)最重要的重工業(yè)基地、歷史文化名城……但總有旅客無法相信，自己跨躍山海，來到了這樣一個連吆喝聲都能讓你敞開心扉的城市。

This is a city with enthusiasm. What kind of charm can wipe out the sense of distance? Maybe a glimpse at the chimney?of a has-been?industry; maybe a restaurant seat to watch the flow of people through the glass; maybe a chance to listen to the stories in the Forbidden City; maybe a?chat about the republican period in?Commander Zhang's Mansion. Wind can't sweep?out?freshness;?dust can't hide away?bustle; thick snow can't cool down?jubilation. My city, you take my breath away.

這是一座有溫度的城市。到底是什么樣的魅力能將距離感一抹而盡？走進小徑幽巷，與賣菜的大叔攀談；推開餐館大門，看來去的食客川流不息……用手比量著煙囪高度，看著老工業(yè)基地的新面貌；又或者是在故宮聽著奉天城故事，在大帥府與民國風云隔空對話。烈風卷不走朝氣，沙塵蓋不住喧囂，厚雪掩不住歡騰，無一不牽引著我的呼吸。

Age has left its traces on her face.?Hiding?in the lanes and alleys, they still remain a charming?fragrance. Gone?through?the glorious?days—red walls and green tiles, we come?to the?industrial park in Tiexi, the inner part of the city. Shrouded in?sunshine, the “Ruhr of the East”,?once gave birth to hundreds of first,?in the industrial era. With passion and pain, Shenyang was up for a time and then, without warning, despondent again. People here, however,?never gave up devoting themselves.

而歷史留給沈陽的印記總能在尋常巷陌中發(fā)覺，那些斑駁的痕跡穿過賣毛嗑的小車，鉆進書法家的袖口，擠進相機的鏡頭中，藏在格調(diào)各異的書店里，散發(fā)出陣陣幽香。中街老胡同的味道是皇城的喧囂與濃濃的愜意，中山路的味道是陰霾消散后黎明的清爽。歷史并沒有讓沈陽變得滄桑，而是讓沈城像一個灑脫的老者掀紙濺墨，又像一個剛剛成年的少爺繼承了整個家業(yè)后，任重道遠地凝視著這個家園。因此，不需要多么氣勢磅礴的場面，只需漫步在灑滿歲月塵埃的地方，就足以領(lǐng)略這里的浩然與傳奇。

當我們的目光穿過彰顯著舊日輝煌的紅墻綠瓦，也穿過大帥府凜凜威風的雕像，向城市內(nèi)部擴展。日光籠罩下的鐵西舊工業(yè)園區(qū)，能夠讓我們看到這個城市的另一副模樣。這里曾是“東方魯爾”，誕生了數(shù)百個新中國工業(yè)史上的第一。這里曾充滿激情，也曾遭遇陣痛，但無論輝煌還是落寞，這里的人們從未放棄過建設。

This is also such a unique city with great resilience, who has completed metamorphosis from the hard times to a vigorous era. The “eldest son of the Republic” is still standing today, exuding?endless charm.?Row of green Tianzhu is still verdant, Hui Mountain in clear snow is still dazzling; evening ferry on Hun River is quiet but?prosperous,?the?sunset at Tower Bay remains?poetic; no?more lotus produced?in Flower Pond, but the shade still?exists in the summer?of Willow Pond; Huangsi?Temple still?rings?mellow, Wanquan water still?ripples. We fly kites in spring, whip?top?in summer, step?ginkgoes in autumn, and?skate?on the ice in winter. The eight scenes of Shengjing still glow with vitality, just like the name Shengjing, both rich cultural heritage and colorful urban style.

在艱難中轉(zhuǎn)型，在失意中蝶變，這是沈陽這座城市獨有的韌性。“共和國的長子”時至今日依舊意氣風發(fā)。天柱排青仍蒼翠欲滴，輝山晴雪仍耀眼奪目；渾河晚渡幽靜中也見繁華，塔灣夕照長余詩情畫意；花泊觀蓮雖不再現(xiàn)，柳塘避暑卻仍有夾道濃蔭；皇寺鳴鐘渾厚悠揚，萬泉垂釣蓮波蕩漾。春日的風箏揚尾，夏日的陀螺鞭響，秋日的枝頭銀杏，冬日的冰上滑行。往日的盛京八景仍煥發(fā)著勃勃生機，正如盛京這個名字一樣，既有豐厚的文化底蘊，也有青春的城市風采。

If you enter our city, everything may be déjà vu. Look, it's the tapestry of flowers; listen, it's the call of genuine love. That's it. Just come.

當你走近我們的城市，也許一切都似曾相識?？窗?，那是錦簇的花團；聽啊，那是真情的呼喚。來吧，就這么簡單。
