有没有想要去出国旅游却不知道去哪？是否遇到过到了旅游景点却发现景点景色让自己大失所望？今天小编给大家推荐美国三大旅游胜地。
自由女神像
自由女神像，也许是美国最著名的国家纪念碑。它的正式名称是“自由启蒙运动的世界”，1886年，为了庆祝美国独立100周年，它是法国人送给美国人民的礼物。
它有305英尺高，151英尺高，铜像本身，其余部分由一个底座和一个底座组成。雕像由法国雕塑家Frederic auguste bartholdi设计，具有新古典主义风格和新艺术元素，是罗马女神自由和个人自由的代表作品。古斯塔夫·埃菲尔(Gustave Eiffel)负责框架，基座由美国建筑师理查德·莫里斯·亨特(Richard morris hunt)设计。
The Statue of Liberty is perhaps the most famous national monument in the United States. Its official name is the World of the Free Enlightenment. In 1886, in order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of American independence, it was a gift from the French to the American people.
It is 305 feet tall, 151 feet tall, the bronze statue itself, the rest of which consists of a base and a base. Designed by French sculptor Frederic Auguste bartholdi, the sculpture has neoclassical style and new artistic elements, and is a representative work of freedom and individual freedom of the Roman goddess. Gustave Eiffel is responsible for the framework and the base is designed by Richard Morris Hunt, an American architect.
雕像的建造和运输费用由法国人支付，而底座则留给了美国人。然而，当美国政府无法筹集到足够的资金时，整个项目受到了威胁。
幸运的是，《纽约时报》(New York times)的出版人约瑟夫·普利策(Joseph Pulitzer)组织了一场为全国读者筹集10万美元(约合230万美元)资金的活动，承诺不管捐款人捐了多少钱，都会把他们的名字印出来。
地点选在纽约港的贝德洛岛，现在被称为自由岛，雕像面向东南方向，欢迎来自大西洋的船只。2016年，自由女神像将吸引约450万游客——比前几年多得多。
The cost of building and transporting the statue was paid by the French, while the base was left to the Americans. However, when the U.S. government was unable to raise enough funds, the whole project was threatened.
Fortunately, Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of the New York Times, organized a campaign to raise $100,000 (about $2.3 million) for readers across the country, promising to print their names no matter how much money donors contributed.
Located on Bedlow Island in New York Harbor, now known as Freedom Island, the statue faces southeast and welcomes ships from the Atlantic Ocean. In 2016, the Statue of Liberty will attract about 4.5 million visitors - much more than in previous years.
黄石国家公园
黄石国家公园，黄石国家公园占地近3500平方英里，主要在怀俄明州，是世界上最迷人和独特的国家公园之一。这里有种类繁多的野生动物(其中许多濒临绝种)，巨大的天然森林，众多的瀑布，世界上大约一半的地热地貌和地球上三分之二的间歇泉(超过300个)。
该公园也是地球北温带最大的完整生态系统之一。1869年首次被发现时，探险家大卫·福尔塞姆和查尔斯·w·库克将黄石湖描述为“超现实的风景”。
后来他们写了一篇关于这次探险的报道，但大多数杂志编辑觉得这些报道太牵强了。
Yellowstone National Park, which covers an area of nearly 3,500 square miles, mainly in Wyoming, is one of the most fascinating and unique national parks in the world. There are many kinds of wildlife (many of which are endangered), huge natural forests, numerous waterfalls, about half of the world's geothermal landforms and two-thirds of the Earth's geysers (more than 300).
The park is also one of the largest complete ecosystems in the North Temperate Zone of the Earth. When it was first discovered in 1869, explorers David Falsham and Charles W. Cook described Yellowstone Lake as a "surreal landscape".
Later they wrote a story about the expedition, but most magazine editors thought it was too far-fetched.
关于黄石公园的另一个有趣的事实，以及为什么它有如此多的地质特征，是它位于世界上最大的活火山之一的正上方。事实上，大部分公园本身就是这座巨大火山的火山口。由于地表下有如此多的岩浆，估计它可以填满峡谷的边缘11倍。
黄石公园上一次喷发是大约64万年前，其中一次喷发的力量是1980年圣海伦斯火山喷发时的2500倍。幸运的是，尽管地面在7年内膨胀了10英寸，但喷发不会很快发生。2016年，该公园吸引了420万游客，成为中国最受欢迎的自然景点之一。

尼尔加拉瀑布
尼亚加拉瀑布，现在，即使不是最高的瀑布，尼亚加拉瀑布绝对值得一游。尼亚加拉瀑布位于加拿大(安大略)和美国(纽约)交界处，是美国最大的瀑布。
Niagara Falls. Now, even if it's not the highest one, Niagara Falls is definitely worth visiting. Niagara Falls, located at the junction of Canada (Ontario) and the United States (New York), is the largest waterfall in the United States.
每秒有超过3160吨的水以每秒32英尺的速度流过瀑布。有三个瀑布。美国和新娘面纱瀑布位于边境的美国一侧，被卢娜岛隔开。每秒大约有75,750加仑的水从瀑布流过。较大的马蹄瀑布由加拿大和美国共同拥有，其边缘高达2600英尺，从167英尺处每秒可以看到60多万加仑的水。
More than 3160 tons of water flow through the waterfall at 32 feet per second. There are three waterfalls. The United States and Bride Veil Falls are located on the American side of the border, separated by Luna Island. About 75,750 gallons of water flow through the waterfall every second. The larger Horseshoe Falls, owned by Canada and the United States, have a margin of 2,600 feet and can see more than 600,000 gallons of water per second from 167 feet.
