歷史上，在修筑鐵路和淘金熱時期，來自中國的秘民定居于此。這里原本是中國移民的居住地，后來變成一個中國文化中心。如今唐人街的絕大多數(shù)居民依舊是華人，他們中很主人英語說得并不流利，這能讓游客體驗到正宗的中國味。Self-learningguidanceIII(5’)1.Readpara3andtranslatethembyyourselvesloudlyandfluently.2.Markthephrasesandlong&complexsentencesyoudidn'tunderstand.3.Getthemainideaofpara3.1.MostofChinatownwasdestroyedinthe1906earthquake,butthecityandresidentsrebuiltit,takingcaretoincludelotsofChinesearchitecture.2.Traditionally,visitorsenterChinatownthroughthelegendaryDragonGate,whichwasbuiltusingmaterialsdonatedfromChina.3.OtherfamoussitesincludetheTinHowTempleandBankofCanton,tonamebutafew.唐人街的大部分建筑毀于1906年的大地震，但是市政府和居民將它重建，并且特地融入諸多中國建筑元素。傳統(tǒng)上，游客從具有傳奇色彩的龍門走人唐人街，龍門的建筑材料是由中國捐贈的。其他的著名景點還有天后古廟、廣東銀行等，不勝枚舉。summary:1.climaten.氣候2.mildadj.溫和的，和善的，輕微的3.historicallyadv.歷史上地4.turninto變成5.themajorityof大部分6.immigrant
