(特征/性格/外表) 独特的, 特别的, 与众不同的) Welcome to Chinatown Background Knowledge 19世纪末时，中国移民像“卖猪仔”似的被运来加州修筑太平洋铁路和淘金，对当地的经济建设贡献厥伟，但他们却与义裔移民、黑人、穷白人、水手一块儿被当时的政府视为“次等公民”，并规定他们居住在特定区域内以免“污染”其它地方。他们只好在以都板街(Grant Ave.)为中心的小范围内活动，后来这里又迁入了新的移民，发展至今，便成了眼前的“唐人街”，也是亚洲之外最大的华人社区。 旧金山的唐人街是海外最具中国传统风格的唐人街，最有特色的唐人街。唐人街长宽约1公里，共占16条街口，入口在格兰特街和布斯特街交会处，大门是一座中式牌楼，绿瓦盖顶，上书孙中山的“天下为公”4个大字。穿过牌楼，走进唐人街，你会发现这里的建筑、布置与电影中上世纪80年代的香港非常相像，充耳所闻的大多是粤语，会感觉非常亲切。 This evening, I went to Chinatown.
