　　泰姬陵是莫卧儿王朝第五代君主沙杰罕为宠姬泰姬玛哈尔修筑的陵墓，整个建筑通体用白色大理石砌成，外形端庄华美，无懈可击。

有人说，不看泰姬陵就不算到过印度。

的确，在世人眼中，泰姬陵就是印度的代名词。

无论国际政要还是普通游客，但凡来了印度，哪怕日程再忙，都要挤出时间去瞻仰一下这座举世闻名的爱情丰碑。

3.NewYorkCity,theBigApple

纽约城——大苹果

纽约城市旅游局曾经说过，50年前首先把纽约叫成“大苹果”的，是爵士乐手和其他文艺演员。

那时，他们每天转场到一个城镇，他们把每一个城镇称作树上的一颗苹果。

一个演员不能在纽约获得成功，就不能看作是成功演员。

又因为纽约是美国最大的城市，这样，他们就把纽约叫做“大苹果”了。
