West Virgina（西維基尼亞）

West Virginia's nickname is the Mountain State, and those words just about tell the whole story. West Virginia is mountains -- the Appalachians -- and travelers who love a strenuous hike, a breathtaking whitewater run, a rhododendron copse, and the tumble of clear water over rocks rubbed smooth by nature's sandpaper will find West Virginia a virtual paradise. If you're more inclined towards city ritz or indoor activities, skip this area and move on along to Cincinnati.

This is a state that goes its own way. Already at odds with Virginia over representation and economic pursuits, West Virginia split off at the start of the Civil War when Virginia chose to fight on the Southern side. Then when West Virginians discovered coal, they moved away from their farm-based economy and became the United States's largest producer of the black stuff. Sparsely populated and definitely untouristy, West Virginia still calls to the explorer in each of us, and the legacy of its mountain culture -- think bluegrass, storytelling, patchwork quilts -- is as alive as it ever was.


西弗吉尼亚又名“山岳州”，顾名思义，该州群山遍布。可以说它是喜爱冒险、旅游者的天堂。在那里，长途徒步旅行艰辛困苦、水上漂流惊险刺激。在那里，鲜花簇簇，清�酖�泉水顺石而下，光滑的岩石经受着大自然的洗礼和冲刷。而如果你更向往城市中的豪华居处及室内活动，离这儿不远便是辛辛那提。

西弗吉尼亚州有着自己独特的思维，在经济和政治方面与弗吉尼亚常常存在着不同的看法。南北战争初期，因支持南方而从弗吉尼亚洲脱离出来。而当它发现本地蕴藏着大量的煤矿时，他们又一改以往的以种植业为主的经济模式而转变成美国最大的煤炭基地。由于人口稀少，并大力开发旅游资源，该州希望有更多的人前去开发。而他那独特的山岳文化，则将会被继续发扬光大！


話說以前還真不暸這個地方呢，沒想到這竟然是他齣生的地方，據說它被譽為冒險傢的樂園？一個地方齣生的人會有一個地方的氣質，也許他世界之大為我獨尊的癖好就是從這個地方感染邇來的？我大膽但是毫無意義的做着揣測，好想呼吸着那邊的空氣，暗自說一句，I have reached where brought you in 1980。
