北京没有广场,而每一条主要街道的尽头,有一座大的牌楼,油漆得漂亮,上面是一个用彩色油漆得好看的顶:顶下标明这街道的名称,用金字书写。这些牌楼立在街道的首尾,在城里长达至少5英里的街道上,就分段树立牌楼。这些牌楼甚为美观,成为街道上的景象中心,在旁边并从走道上围起栅栏。 Beijing has no plaza, and at the end of each main street, there is a large archway, beautifully painted, with a top painted with colorful paint: the name of the street is marked on the top and written in gold. The arches were erected at the beginning and end of the street. In the city’s streets, which were at least five miles long, they erected arches in sections. These arches are very beautiful and become the center of sight on the streets. They are next to them and fences are surrounded by walkways.
