The next week the delegation is arranged to travel to New York, because there are many tourist attractions arranged, so the time is very tight, after all, it is a delegation of middle school students, New Jersey also specially arranged for them to visit Columbia University, a famous institution of higher learning in the United States, still from Jersey City in the morning to New York, and then back to Jersey City in the evening to stay.

Because this week's itinerary is all visits and tours, the classmates are very excited, and so is Zuo Jiang, who has only seen those famous landscapes of New York in movies, television, books and magazines, and is of course very happy to be there now. The first stop is to visit the Statue of Liberty in the United States.

The bus arrived at the mouth of the Hudson River shortly after leaving Jersey City, and the Statue of Liberty towering over Liberty Island could be seen from a distance from the crossing of the Hudson River.

The Statue of Liberty, also known as "Liberty Shines on the World", was a gift from France to the United States in 1876 for the 100th anniversary of its independence. Lady Liberty wears an ancient Greek-style garment with a tiara featuring seven pointed rays symbolizing the world's seven continents and oceans. The goddess holds a torch of freedom in her right hand and an inscription of the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 in her left hand, with broken handcuffs, shackles and chains at her feet. She symbolizes freedom and breaking free from the constraints of ****.

The Statue of Liberty is 46 meters high, 93 meters plus pedestal, weighs more than 200 tons, is cast in metal and rests on a concrete pedestal. The pedestal of the Statue of Liberty was built by the famous Joseph Pulitzer with a $100,000 fund, and the pedestal is the Museum of American Immigration History.

When the interpreter and tour guide sent by New Jersey said that the Statue of Liberty was listed as a World Heritage Site two years ago, the members of the delegation did not know what the World Heritage Site was, and Zuo Jiang's heart couldn't help but feel sour.

After rushing to Chinatown at noon for a Chinese meal, we visited the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in the afternoon, because the World Trade Center at this time is the tallest building in the United States and the tallest building in the world, surpassing the Empire State Building. It consists of two 110-storey (with 6 basement floors) 411.5-metre-high skyscrapers, four office towers and a hotel.

At this time, the World Trade Center was not yet open to the public for tourism business, and the students could only look at the skyscrapers of these two provinces from afar and up close, and let out one exclamation after another. Zuo Jiang was also deeply shocked by the grandeur of the World Trade Center and the towering twin towers, but he was even more shocked by the tragic scene after the collapse of the terrorist attack 15 years later, and he thought that the "9/11" terrorist attacks happened to the United States, and if it happened in China, he would definitely want to prevent it.

The next day, the delegation visited Columbia University. Columbia University is one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the world. Along with Harvard University and the University of Chicago, he is recognized as one of the top three universities in the United States and one of the oldest colleges on the American continent. After the American Revolution, it was renamed Columbia College in honor of Columbus, who discovered the American continent, and became Columbia University in 1896.

As soon as the students walked into Columbia University, they were attracted by the ancient buildings full of European style, and they were even more impressed by the grandeur of the campus, and when the interpreter and tour guide said that a total of 67 alumni and professors in Colombia had won the Nobel Prize, they were even more shocked, and no one in China has won the Nobel Prize, and there are as many as 67 people in a university in Colombia.

The translator and tour guide then began to flaunt the celebrities that Columbia University had cultivated. "Columbia University is known as a cradle for political and economic leaders," she said. To date, Columbia Law School has produced two U.S. Supreme Court justices, two U.S. presidents, Roosevelt, the 15th President and Franklin, the 32nd President, 14 mayors of New York City, and 10 governors of New York State who are graduates of Columbia University! After saying that, she looked at her classmates with a proud look on her face and smiled proudly.

Zuo Jiang looked at the face of this translator and tour guide lady and felt a little indignant in his heart, it doesn't matter to me how many American politicians you have cultivated at Columbia University, how many American celebrities have been cultivated here You are proud to be an American, but you can't expose the Chinese celebrities who have gone out from here, knowing that we are a delegation of Chinese middle school students, she obviously did it on purpose!

Thinking of this, Zuo Jiang stepped forward and said to her in English: "Ms. Translator, you haven't revealed anything about the celebrities cultivated by Columbia University, you must know that I am Chinese!" Zuo Jiang didn't know her name, so he called her directly as Ms. Translator.

Zuo Jiang's reminder was direct enough, but the female translator still pretended to be confused and said, "No, do you have anything else to add?" She was just amazed at how fluent Zuo Jiang's English was.

The corners of Zuo Jiang's mouth turned up and he smiled slightly, "Yes, Ms. Translator, I want to add something to my classmates." Zuo Jiang had a smile on his face, but he didn't speak politely at all. The female translator had no choice but to make a gesture of please.

The members of the delegation were very surprised that Zuo Jiang used fluent English to talk to the translator, due to the problem of English proficiency, most of them did not understand, a small part seemed to understand or not, only the translator Xiao Yang understood the conversation between Zuo Jiang and the female translator, and was also very surprised by Zuo Jiang's English level, Zuo Jiang's English is definitely a professional level!

Zuo Jiang turned to his classmates and said: "Students, now I want to tell you that Columbia University is not only a historical celebrity that Americans are proud of, but also a great scientist that we Chinese proud of, among which Mr. Tsung-Dao Lee, a Chinese-American physicist, was once the top professor of this university, and he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, winning glory for our Chinese nation!" In addition, there are many celebrities from all walks of life in China who have come out of this university, such as Gu Weijun, Ma Yinchu, Song Ziwen, Feng Youlan, Hu Shi, etc., as well as the famous nuclear scientist Jiang Shengjie who have all walked out from here! ”

The words of the female translator just now have made the students very dissatisfied, Zuo Jiang said this large list of Chinese celebrities, they immediately raised their eyebrows and applauded warmly, the female translator's face was very ugly, she never thought that a Chinese middle school student could know so much.

In the next few days, they have been in the non-stop tour, Zuo Jiang and they have visited the United Nations headquarters building, the 25-kilometer-long Broadway, the world's financial center less than a mile long, only 11 meters wide - Wall Street, the former tallest building in the United States, the Empire State Building, the New York Aquarium and St. John's Cathedral and other places, walked to Broadway Street in front of a magnificent theater, Zuo Jiang whispered to Song Kexin, this is the place to perform the messy opera you said, made Song Kexin angry with him. To Zuo Jiang's delight, New Jersey replaced them with a male translator, although they did not explain the reason, but everyone knew it.

On Saturday night, when he returned to the Wilson International Hotel in Jersey City, Zuo Jiang hurried back to his room after eating, because tonight was the time for the Café de Corals lottery, he returned to the room to see that the time was still early, so he went to the bathroom and took a shower happily, washing away the dust of the week, and I hope I can also wash out a good luck!
