| Toronto City Hall. 多倫多市政廳 |
Queen Street West
This time I got off at Queen Station and walked west. If you are tired, you could also take the streetcar. The streetcars here run frequently, so people don't need to wait for a long time, but the traffic is very busy during the rush hours, it will be very crowed because of it is near business park.
這次我從Queen Station下車後往西行,若是怕累的人也可以搭乘街車,這裡的街車很頻繁,不需要等太久喔。不過遇到下班時間,由於這裡是商業區所以街車上會是人擠人的現象。
Queen Street is one of my favorite street. It's full of fashion. There are so many special stores, the prices are above the average, you could find many ornaments or something hippie. You could also find some second-handed stores, these clothes are very classical, if you want to buy some classical sweaters and you don't hate to wear something that is used, you could consider it. The clothes here is good, and the quality is not bad, the price is not high. If you are afraid of wearing something that you could easily find in . you could come here to look for some treasures.
皇后街是我很喜歡的一條街道。他是一條充滿流行前衛的街。在這條街上有許多有特色的小店,價位在中上,可以在這裡買到許多嬉皮的或者搖滾的服飾及配件。也可以在這裡找到一些二手衣服店,這些二手衣常常帶有復古風,想要買些復古風格的毛衣又不嫌是有人穿過的話可以考慮,基本上這些衣服都保存的良好,而且質感也不差,價位也不會太高。如果害怕撞衫的人也可以選擇來這條街上走走逛逛。
Get off the street car from Queen Station, you will see Eaton Center. It's the biggest shopping mall in downtown. In front of Eaton Centre, it's Bay. This is also a mall, but the products are more expensive than those in Eaton Centre. It opened the branch of Top Shop last year. There are so many high building here because it is a business park.
從Queen Station一下車是伊頓中心,這在之前介紹過,是在市中心最大的一家購物商場。伊頓中心對面是Bay,這也是一間百貨喔,不過不像伊頓走平民路線,去年這裡也開了Top Shop的分店。接著我們出了伊頓中心後往西邊走,這裡由於是商業中心,所以高樓林立,每棟建築物好像在比高一樣,但是這區塊是我最喜歡的,因為彷彿自己置身於紐約一樣。
Old City Hall
Then walking west, a high building is right beside you. The archaic color of the building and the old wall are very historical. It's Old City Hall. Located here with modern buildings makes this old structure more particular.
往西邊走後映入眼簾的是一個高聳的建築物,從他的顏色和古老的牆面可以感覺很有歷史,這是舊的市政廳。這樣一個看似古老的建築建立在滿是現代化大樓的中間似乎有點唐突,但也更凸顯他的特別呢。
| 舊市政廳在1984年後被歷史保護區。it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada. |
People go skiing in the middle of Nathan Phillips Square in Winter. 大家都會在冬天實來這裡溜冰。 |
City Hall
After then, you would see the New City Hall. This is the city hall which now operates. It structures with two buildings with streamline shapes, it's very special. People come to take a rest in Summer, and when it becomes colder, people here always come to enjoy skiing.
經過了這棟美麗的建築物後,跨過一個街道就是新的市政廳,這是目前在運作的建築,由兩棟建築物像流線般的佇立,非常特別,夏日有許多人坐在這附近休憩,而冬日呢廣場中間的水池會結凍成溜冰場,這裡的市民都會來這裡溜冰。
The Starbucks in front of the City Hall is cool as well, it's close to a TD Bank. 在市政廳對面的星巴克也非常得特別,他的隔壁是多倫多道明銀行,一家銀行一家咖啡店共有那片窗。 |
Osgoode Hall
Then, Osgoode Hall is in sight. Osgood is named in honor of their first Chief Justice of the Province, William Osgoode. And this hall was also designated a National Historic Site of Canada.
繼續往下走,映入眼簾的是Osgoode Hall。被命名為Osgoode是為了紀念他們這省的第一位法院院長,William Osgoode. Osgoode Hall也被列為歷史保護區。
Steve’s Music Store
If you are very interested in Music and instruments, you must come to Steve's Music Store. This is one of the stores which I always visited. I found so many piano notes here, you could also find various instruments here.
如果對於音樂很有興趣的人,當然一定要造訪一下Steve’s Music Store。在這裡可以找到許多樂譜,喜歡樂器的人也可以在這裡找到各式各樣的樂器。
Clafouti Pastisserie & Cafe
The Croissant is very tasty. You should come earlier and try them :)
如果再繼續沿著皇后西街走下去,可以找到一家這家Bakery,這家店的可頌相當可口,如果不早點排隊的話常常會銷售一空。
You could also find some stationery stores here.
This store is Valhalla, after waking inside, you could see lots of postcards on the wall. They have so many special cards which are not easy to find in downtown or Chinatown. Some of the cover of the cards are old streets of Toronto. Because they are so special, the price is higher than those we found in Chinatown, but it's a good option to send them to your family and friends, or buy them as souvenirs of Toronto.
而在這附近也可以找到一間很小間的文具店,一進入此間文具店就可以看見排滿整面牆的明信片。是的,這裡專賣明信片,但並不是隨便在路上紀念品店可以看到的那種。這裡的明信片十分有特色,明信片的背景是多倫多的街道,有舊時的街景,也有現代的。由於十分特別,價錢也比較高,但是是做紀念品以及寄給親友的好選擇。
There are a lot of special bakeries and Cafes here. I don't have enough chance to walk in every stores.
P.S. I spent so many days typing this article and translated. It was not an easy job and I think I would have a lot of errors. Please let me know if there's any mistakes. Thanks a lot.
