“Hey didn't you hear me calling you? Where you at man?" 哥们儿打你电话咋不接啊，在哪呢？
"I don't know, I was just looking around.我也不知道，随便转转啦！

"Have you been to the beach?"去过海滩了么？
"No, not yet."还没呢。

"Then what you waiting for？Come on, I'll get you. Oh by the way, welcome to LA homie.” 那你还在等什么，我来接你。对了，欢迎来到洛杉矶！

Los Angeles which means "The Angels"in Spanish, nicknamed the City of Angels, is often known by its initials L.A.. Of which population is approximately 18 million in 2010, making it one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the world as well as the second-largest city in the United States after New York City, and the most populous city in the state of California. By the way, Our metropolis Guangzhou in southern China is of its 25 sister cities through out the world.
洛杉矶，西班牙语意为“天使”,又称天使之城，通常也被称为它英文名的首字母LA，2010年人口约1800万，成为世界上人口最密集的大都会地区之一，美国除纽约之外的最大城市，同时也是加州人口最多的城市。对了他的姐妹城市之一是我国的南方大都会广州。

Los Angeles lies in a large coastal basin surrounded on three sides by mountains, which is known for its mediterranean climate, ethnic diversity, sprawling metropolis, and as a major center of the American entertainment industry. Los Angeles is a global city with a diverse economy in entertainment, culture, media, fashion, science, sports, technology, education, medicine and research.
洛城坐落于三面环山的海岸盆地上，是全美重要的娱乐产业中心。它特有的地中海气候，人种分布多元化，以及不断扩张的城市规模都成为它显著的特征。洛城的娱乐，文化，媒体，时尚，科技，体育，高新技术，教育，医药，与研究领域也很发达，十足一个国际化的大都会。

It's one of my favorite cities in the world. Because Los Angeles has a Subtropical-Mediterranean climate, that means plenty of sunshine throughout the year, with an average of only 35 days with measurable precipitation annually. Do you guys still remember the music of that producer soul chef I recommended? That I said every time I listen I feel like the beach and sunshine is right in front of my eyes? Now you know why, the album is called long hot summer, and it feels exactly like LA.
其实它是我最喜欢的城市之一，因为它的亚热带地中海气候。全年平均只有35天可检测到的降水，阳光非常充沛有木有！大家还记得之前我推荐的音乐人soulchef么？现在知道为什么我说每次一听都感觉到了加州了吧？专辑名字直接就是Long Hot Summer，典型的加州LA风格音乐。

Believe it or not though, just like big cities in China, air pollution,aka. Smog Issue also affects the city. Due to the heavy dependence of automobiles, Los Angeles also suffers from the exhausts from road vehicles, airplanes, locomotives, shipping, manufacturing. Wherever I laid eyes on I see dark skies.
信不信由你，尽管气候宜人异常，LA跟中国很多大城市也一样，雾霾也严重。洛杉矶是个非常依赖各类机动车的城市，各种来自车辆，物流，工业生产的废气，让它的天空也不是那么蓝。


Do you play video games? Have you ever heard of a world famous role play game series called Grand Theft Auto aka GTA? Actually Grand Theft Auto V sets within the fictional state of San Andreas, based on Southern California, and fictional city of Los Santos, based on Los Angeles. I'll tell you why, according to the Los Angeles Police Department, the city is home to 45,000 gang members, organized into 450 gangs. This has led to the city being referred to as the "Gang Capital of America". What’s why the story of this world renowned action game takes place in this legendary city. That right Frankie?
你玩不玩电子游戏？听说过世界著名的那个系列《侠盗猎车手》么？GTA5的故事其实就是发生在LA，游戏里的城市Los Santos其实就是复制的LA。为什么呢？我来告诉你。根据洛城警察局的报告，全市有450个大大小小的帮派的45000黑帮成员。怪不得，LA也被无奈地戴上了“美国犯罪之都”的帽子.


Not only GTA, but also the American TV series The Big Bang Theory, takes place in a city just north of LA. Pasadena is a city in Los Angeles County, California, in which all my beloved Big Bang Theory characters live. I hope one day I could pay them a visit.
不过LA闻名于世的不仅仅有游戏，很多电影与美剧都跟它有关。比如本人最爱的美剧《生活大爆炸》就发生在洛杉矶郡北方的卫星城帕萨迪纳，所有的演员在剧中都居住在那里。

Speaking of television productions, video games, and recorded music. You just can't miss the landmark Hollywood Sigh on Mt. Lee at northwest of downtown Los Angeles, which overlooks Hollywood, and also the city of LA. Hollywood or Tinseltown is a neighborhood in the central region of Los Angeles, California. The neighborhood is notable for its place as the home of the U.S. film industry, including several of its historic studios. Its name has become a metonym for the motion picture industry of the United States.
说到电影游戏音乐，去洛杉矶玩一定不能错过那个好莱坞的标志。好莱坞标志坐落在洛城市区西北放的李山上（小山，属于莫妮卡山系），俯瞰着整个LA市区与好莱坞。好莱坞又叫浮华城（香港人叫它荷里活），是美国电影娱乐产业中心，也是世界电影梦工场，世界闻名的几大电影工作室都在那里。好莱坞的名字已经变成了美国电影的代名词。


Well one of the other reasons that I like about the city is that you can always find young girls and boys glaring like stars taking selfies on the sidewalk.
对了，另外一个我喜欢LA的原因我偷偷告诉你，因为好莱坞就在旁边所以市区里到处都能看到闪闪发光地帅哥女神在边走边自拍哈哈。等不及了，老夫先走一步！


“Excuse me, um can I take a picture of us. I think you think look gorgeous.”“嗨美女，可以一起留个影么，我觉得你真是太美了！”

“I think I'm gonna call 911.” “额，退后我要报警了！”
