听月水榭

"Dive through a hole in the bed of the Santa Fe River and disappear into the darkness of the Devil's Ear. It's just one portal of hundreds in Florida leading to a watery underworld that explorers are slowly bringing to light."

A small boathouse in a field of flowers reminds one of the song by Patti Page:

"If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air,
Quaint little villages here and there;
You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod."

一间在花田当中的小船库让人想起Patti Page的一首歌：

“如果你喜欢沙丘和海风，

以及遍地的精巧小村落；

那你一定是爱上了老Cod角。”

"'Liberty Enlightening the World.'

So (Fr閐閞ic-Auguste) Bartholdi named his copper-skinned goddess, lifting a torch and stepping out of broken shackles. Her tablet, a meaningful symbol to his fellow Freemasons, represents the rule of law and is inscribed in Roman numerals July 4, 1776. To hold this 151-foot [46-meter] statue against the Atlantic gales, he called on the brilliant bridge engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel for the tallest iron support of its day."

“自由女神照亮世界”
Bartholdi是这样来称呼他的那座擎着火炬站立在破碎的枷锁之外的铜肤女神的。她手中的字碑是一个对他的公济会会友意味深长的象征，它代表了法治并以罗马数字“1776年7月4日”记下。为了使这座高达151英尺（和46米）的雕像得以承受大西洋的海风，他邀请了因当时最高的铁塔而著名的桥梁工程师Alexandre Gustave Eiffel。
