There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book in hand. Of course, we may
1 with our guide-books the history and special developments of a town and get to know them.
2 then, if we take our time and
3 in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we
4 it as a whole, we begin to have some
5 , which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just
6 this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets
7 in this particular way, and not in any
8 way?
Here even the best guide-book fails us. One can’t find in it the information about how a town has developed to the
9 appearance. It may not describe the original (最初的) design of a town. However, one may get some idea of what it
10 look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine
11 the town was first planned and built. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town
12 to develop.
What is the point of studying towns in this way? For me, it is simply that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A
13 visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive
14 just reading about it in a guide-book.
