　　Johannesburg or the City of Gold, as the city is known in South Africa, is the business hub of South Africa, contributing a substantial part of the country's GDP approximately 12%. The City is home to two of the country's most popular football teams and historical arch-rivals, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates. Johannesburg is also known as the economic engine of Southern Africa and the trendsetter of South Africa. It is a melting pot laced with all the flavours of African cultures and beyond.
　　約翰內(nèi)斯堡在南非被稱作黃金城，是南非的商業(yè)中心，在全國的經(jīng)濟地位舉足輕重，其生產(chǎn)總值約占國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值的12%。約翰內(nèi)斯堡是國內(nèi)最著名的兩支球隊-凱澤酋長與奧蘭多海盜的所在城市，同時這兩支球隊也是歷史上的夙敵。約翰內(nèi)斯堡也被稱作是南非的經(jīng)濟的發(fā)動機和領(lǐng)頭羊。它是個社會大熔爐，融合了非洲國家以及世界各國的文化特色。
　　Despite the hustle and bustle of the big city, Jo'burg is unexpectedly green and orientated towards outdoor living. It has a wealth of trees creating an 'urban forest', and many of the trees are located in the 2328 parks.
　　除了大城市的喧鬧擁擠，約翰內(nèi)斯堡還貼別崇尚綠色，人們傾心于戶外活動。約翰內(nèi)斯堡市內(nèi)有大面積的樹，形成了“城市森林”，其中很大一部分樹種在全市的2328座公園里。
　　Cultural wealth is also in abundance, with a host of interesting museums including the Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill and the world acclaimed Soweto. The Mai Mai Market is the oldest market in Johannesburg and is a great place to discover traditional remedies. But more than that, Johannesburg has become a truly African city, melding disparate people from across the continent.
　　約翰內(nèi)斯堡也有著豐厚的文化底蘊，有大量妙趣橫生的博物館，包括種族隔離博物館、憲法丘，以及世界著名的索韋托。Mai Mai市場是約翰內(nèi)斯堡最為古老的市場，這里是人們尋求一些傳統(tǒng)偏方良藥的好去處。不僅如此，約翰內(nèi)斯堡已經(jīng)變成了名副其實的非洲城市，擁抱來自整個非洲大陸的不同種族的人們。
　　Today descendents of immigrants from around the world call themselves Joburgers and they are added to daily by a continual stream of migrants, keen to have some of the city's shine rub off on them.
　　如今，來自世界各國移民的后代把自己稱作“Joburger”，并且每天，到此移居的人流不斷，他們都熱切期盼約翰內(nèi)斯堡的陽光能灑在自己身上。
