The Great Guitar Debate

When most people are asked to name their favorite flavor of ice cream, the decision often comes down to chocolate or vanilla. In the world of rock and roll, the question is as equally basic for guitar players choosing an electric instrument: Gibson Les Paul or Fender Stratocaster?

The debate over which guitar is superior has raged since the very beginnings of rock and roll. Famous guitarists who have chosen the Les Paul, or "Paul" for short, include legendary rock star, Wu Bai, as well as the guitarist for Linkin Park. Those who prefer the Stratocaster, or "Strat," include Sting and the late Jimi Hendrix. Even teenagers practicing alone in their bedrooms are prepared to argue in favor of the Strat or the Paul, regardless of whether they can afford to buy either instrument.

The Les Paul is the instrument of choice for guitarists who prefer a sound that's thick, heavy, or fat. The Strat, on the other hand, appeals to players who want a sound that's bluesy or "spacey." When the first Strat was produced in 1954, it became an instant classic. The earliest Strats now command up to US$25,000 when placed on the market. Vintage Pauls are even more collectable, occasionally fetching up to a quarter of a million dollars.

吉他比一比

　　大部分人被问到最爱的冰淇淋口味时，答案通常是巧克力味或香草味。在摇滚乐界，吉他手选择电子乐器时，问题也是一样简单：吉布森‧莱斯‧保罗或是芬达‧史崔特卡斯特？

　　关于哪个牌子的吉他更好的争论，早在摇滚乐发展初期就已甚嚣尘上。选择莱斯‧保罗（简称保罗）的著名吉他手包括传奇摇滚歌手伍佰，及林肯公园的吉他手。而偏爱史崔特卡斯特（简称史崔特）的则有斯汀和已故的吉米‧亨德里克斯。就连在自己房间里练习弹吉他的青少年，也都准备要选边站队支持史崔特或保罗，不管他们买不买得起。

莱斯‧保罗对偏好厚重浑圆音质的吉他手来说是首选。而史崔特则吸引想要呈现蓝调风味或迷蒙音色的乐手。第一把史崔特吉他在1954年问世后，立刻成为了经典。早期生产的史崔特吉他，目前在市面上要价高达两万五千美元。上等的保罗吉他则更有收藏价值，价格偶尔会飙涨到二十五万美元。

Fine Philly

Most schedules for a trip to the United States include glamorous cities like New York, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. But for travelers who are interested in history and are open to discovering a city with lovely architecture, stimulating nightlife, and a unique local culture, America offers no better travel destination than Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

It was in the "City of Brotherly Love," as Philadelphia is sometimes called, that the United States was born. Both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were produced here. One of the signers of those documents was Philadelphia's most famous citizen, Benjamin Franklin. Travelers to Philadelphia can visit a museum on the site of Franklin's home and tour the building where the Constitution was signed.

Not everything in Philadelphia is historically significant. A busy entertainment district, where trendy new restaurants and nightclubs seem to open every week, surrounds the historical area. As many young artists have moved south from New York in search of a more relaxed lifestyle and a lower cost of living, Philadelphia has become a hot place to live.

Anyone visiting Philly should take the time to explore the neighborhoods that lie outside the city's center. An area of note is the bustling Italian Market. As the largest working outdoor market in the US, it is home to a wealth of specialty stores. Though the shops are predominately Italian, other nationalities have made their way into the market. After you've fed on the delectable delights of the city, a stop for a photo at the top of the stairs of the Philadelphia Museum of Art will help burn off some of those calories. After all, the stairs did the trick for Sylvester Stallone in Rocky.

费城故事

　　大部分的美国观光行程都会包含如纽约、旧金山和拉斯维加斯等迷人的城市。但对那些对历史有兴趣，并乐于探访美丽建筑、体验刺激夜生活和独特当地文化的游客而言，美国没有任何比宾州费城更适合的地方了。

　　美国就是在这个被称为“仁爱之都”的城市里孕育而生的。美国独立宣言和联邦宪法都在此地起草。这些文件的其中一名签署者便是费城最有名的市民本杰明‧富兰克林。来到费城的游客可以参观位于富兰克林住宅旧址的博物馆，并参观签署联邦宪法的大楼。

　　并非所有费城的事物都具有历史意义。在忙碌的娱乐区里，似乎每周都有时髦的新餐厅和夜店开张，围绕着古色古香的区域。许多年轻艺术家从纽约迁徙至此，寻找更轻松的生活方式和较低的生活消费，费城已成为热门的居住选择。

　　任何造访费城的人，都应该花点时间逛逛位于市中心外的邻近地区。其中很著名的是热闹的意大利市场。作为全美目前最大的户外市场，这里开满了许多奇珍异品的专卖店。虽然这些商店以意式商店为主，但是其他各国的商店也纷纷进驻。尝完这座城市的美食后，你可以爬楼梯到费城美术馆顶楼照张相，帮你消耗一些热量。毕竟，这些阶梯对《洛奇》里的西尔维斯特‧史泰龙还蛮有效的。
