旧金山旅游网旧金山风景名胜旧金山海滩旅游景点排名

最近在学习英语时，遇到了一个叫Alcatraz的地方，说是离旧金山很近，当时脑子愣是没有搜索到这是啥地方啊，本着不放过任何疑点的学习态度，查阅了一翻资料，终于知道了这个地儿，这里也记录一下学习时对该地的英语介绍，大家在写英语景点的时候也可以参考这个哟。

恶魔岛

Alcatraz is a small island in San Francisco Bay,1.5 miles from San Francisco.People can reach the island by boat from the city. It has often appeared in movies,including "Escape from Alcatraz".

逃出死亡岛

上面的句子介绍了恶魔岛是一个距离旧金山比较近的小岛，人们可以从旧金山坐船去这个岛上。而且呢这个小岛经常出现在电影中，这么写就引起大家注意了，有些好奇宝宝就会去找一些有关这个岛的电影了，我印象最深的是哈利波特里边的阿兹卡班，应该是这里取景的。

Alcatraz is also famous and is now a major tourist attraction. One reason it"s famous is because it used to be a prison,a very special prison. It was designed for prisoners who were causing trouble in other prisons,such as trying to escape.If a man did not behave at another prison,he could be sent to Alcatraz.

恶魔岛的监狱

这一段接着上面一段，说这是一个非常著名的旅游景点，而且以曾经作为监狱而出名，它是专门为那些企图在其他监狱中越狱的犯人设计的。一些在其他监狱中表现不好的犯人就会被送岛恶魔岛。

Alcatraz was a maximum security prison,so escape was almost impossible.The waters(水域) around it are cold,and only very strong swimmers can swim from the island to San Francisco.At Alcatraz there was just one inmate in each prison cell.The prison was designed to hold 336 prisoners.However the average population was only about 270.

紧接着上一段，读者就会有疑问，为什么会把在其他监狱企图逃跑的犯人送到恶魔岛呢？哦，原来恶魔岛是一个安全性极高的监狱，在这里逃跑几乎是不可能的。接着围绕着它的最高安全性展开了一段说明:原来恶魔岛是被水域包围着的小岛，这就与第一段中的人们需要从城市坐船去岛上相呼应了，因为水很冷，只有非常强壮的人才有可能从小岛游回旧金山。恶魔岛是单人间设计的，这就避免了犯人间打架斗殴事件的发生。紧接着也说明了恶魔岛设计的容量是同时关押337个犯人，但是平均关押人数在270。

Prison life at Alcatraz was highly structured and boring.It was designed to teach prisoners to follow rules.They has four rights:food,clothing,shelter,and medical care.Everthing else was a privilege that had to be earned.Privileges included working,visits from family members,and access to the prison library.
