参考译文

到达纽约 　纽约有三个机场。当你到达其中之一时，你可以乘公共汽车或出租车到纽约的任何地方。

公共交通 　纽约的公共汽车和地铁系统很完善。如果你打算多坐地铁，你应该买一张能乘坐10次的地铁票，因为这种票比较便宜。但你不是非得使用公共交通工具，因为有许多地方步行就可以到达，比如帝国大厦、第五大道和中央公园。纽约的出租车是城市体验的一部分，所以，在你游览期间，至少应该乘坐一次出租车。

旅馆 　纽约有许多高档旅馆。最好的是第五大道的广场酒店，但你不用花很多钱也能找到住处，因为这里有许多小旅馆，而且中央公园附近的基督教青年会很适合年轻人住宿。

吃饭 　纽约有多种美食，你不必每天都去麦当劳。比如，小意大利区和中国城就有许多好的餐馆。

购物 　在纽约购物很有趣。第五大道上有许多大型商店，它们每周七天、天天都营业。但你看价格时要仔细了，因为你在纽约购买的每样东西都要额外再付8％的税。

游览 　最后，纽约有很多地方值得一看——时代广场、自由女神像。如果没有登上自由女神欣赏一番城市的美景，你是不应该回家的。
