The city of Los Angeles is part of Los Angeles County. There are many smaller cities in the county. Beverly Hills, with its rich people, is one of them. So is Pasadena, with its Rose Parade each New Year's Day. So are the coastal cities of Santa Monica and Malibu, where people like to ride surfboards on the Pacific Ocean waves.
洛杉矶市是洛杉矶县的一部分，该县还有很多更小的城市，富豪云集的比佛利山庄就是其中之一。还有以新年玫瑰花车游行闻名的帕萨迪纳，以及人们喜欢冲浪的海滨城市圣莫尼卡和马利布。
注：本段提到的几个地名都是属于洛杉矶县的城市。美国的县市概念和中国不同。县又译为郡，一般包括多个市。但不具备行政隶属关系。有兴趣可以百度一下。
A good place for watching unusual-looking people is Venice, an area on the west side of Los Angeles. ____________________________________________________________
洛杉矶西部的威尼斯可以看到很多不寻常的艺术家。
注：烟草大王艾伯特·金尼原本准备把加州威尼斯建成一座和意大利威尼斯一样的城市，后来却成了艺术家和娱乐的天堂。
Many people love Los Angeles for its warm sunny weather, beautiful mountains and beaches, and movie stars. That includes Randy Newman, who sings about his hometown.
很多人都喜欢洛杉矶温暖、阳光明媚的天气，美丽的山峰和海滩，以及遍地的明星大腕。这其中就包括兰蒂·纽曼，他这样唱到了他的家乡。
