曼彻斯特恐怕是我们最熟悉的英国城市了,这里有人人皆知的曼联,还有中国球员孙继海效力的曼城队,不过对于这个城市,我们还有很多不了解的。 曼彻斯特是英格兰西北的金融、商贸、零售、文化和休闲中心,也是英国除伦敦以外最发达的城市,这里有大型国际机场,是欧洲留学生人数最多城市之一。作为工业革命的发源地,曼彻斯特正从一个制造业为基础的工业城市转变为一个繁荣、现代而又充满活力的国际大都市。在巩固制造业地位的同时,曼彻斯特也重视发展知识经济,已经跻身欧洲十大最佳商业城市行列,今天仍被人们称为是英国最具活力的城市。
Manchester is probably the most familiar city in the UK, with the well-known Manchester United and the Manchester City team playing for Chinese player Sun Jihai, but we still do not know much about the city. Manchester is a financial, business, retail, cultural and leisure center in northwestern England. It is also the UK’s most developed city outside of London. It has a large international airport and is one of the European cities with the largest student population. As a birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, Manchester is transforming from a manufacturing-based industrial city to a prosperous, modern and vibrant international metropolis. While consolidating its position as a manufacturing industry, Manchester also emphasizes the development of a knowledge-based economy. It ranks among the top 10 best commercial cities in Europe and today is still referred to as the UK’s most vibrant city.
