Alcatraz is a small island in San Francisco Bay, 1.5 miles from San Francisco. From Alcatraz, you can see the famous Golden Gate Bridge. Alcatraz is also famous and is now a major tourist attraction. Tourists can reach the island by boat from the city.
恶魔岛是旧金山湾内的一个小岛，距离旧金山市1.5英里。从恶魔岛上可以看到著名的金门大桥。恶魔岛也很出名，现在是一个重要的旅游景点，游客可以从市区乘船去该岛。

Alcatraz has often appeared in movies, including "Escape from Alcatraz" which was made in 1979. One reason it’s famous is because it used to be a prison, a very special prison. It was designed for prisoners who were causing trouble in other prisons, such as trying to escape. It was a maximum security prison, so escape was almost impossible. The waters around it are cold, and only very strong swimmers can swim from the island to San Francisco.
电影中经常有恶魔岛的出现，比如1979年制作的《逃离恶魔岛》。它出名的一个原因是它曾经是一座监狱，一座特殊的监狱。专为那些在其他监狱制造麻烦的囚犯而设计，比如想要越狱的囚犯。这座监狱戒备森严，所以越狱几乎是不可能的。四周的水域很冷，只有非常强壮的游泳者才能从岛上游到旧金山。

The first group of prisoners arrived in 1934. There were 137 prisoners, including bank robbers and murderers. They came by train from another prison in the state of Kansas. During that trip, there was heavy security. The prisoners were under guard and handcuffed. Nobody wanted them to escape.
第一批囚犯于1934年抵达岛上，共有137名，包括银行抢劫犯和杀人犯，他们乘火车从堪萨斯州的另一所监狱而来。那次旅行有着严密的安全措施，囚犯们在看守下戴上手铐，没有人想让他们逃跑。
