圈圈学翻译|旅游英语
尽管最近又有好多东西想写要写，但是……没错我又偷懒了……--
所以，先整理一下没那么复杂的东西。
最近开始做某个旅游英语项目，整理出来翻译过程中遇到的一些不太熟悉的单词、短语和俚语。其实这个想法来自法语同传哥钟老师，他公众号经常发布在做口译期间积累的一些内容，很有意思。所以效仿了。
释义主要来自剑桥汉英、谷歌和维基。强烈推荐剑桥英汉，例句真是太实用了
1.World Heritage Site
世界遗产地
2. Joint
informal a bar or restaurant that serves food and drink at low prices

We had lunch at a hamburger joint and then went to see a movie.

6.From the Colosseum to the Vatican, a jam-packed day seeing the most iconic places in Rome.
Jam packed

The streets were jam-packed with tourists. 街道被游客挤得水泄不通。
a jam-packed day，我译为“充实的一天”
7.
A backlot is an area behind or adjoining a movie studio, containing permanent exterior buildings for outdoor scenes in filmmaking or television productions, or space for temporary set construction.
backlot这个词，居然没有收录到剑桥。但其实结合“back"、"lot"和”film“基本上就知道什么意思了。
A backlot is an area behind or adjoining a movie studio, containing permanent exterior buildings for outdoor scenes in filmmaking or television productions, or space for temporary set construction.
简而言之，就是拍电影的“片场”。
8.
Old West
the western region of the U.S., especially in the frontier period of the 19th century.
可译为“（美国）大西部”
9& 10
Iconic landmarks in the Big Apple's midsection, with a big finish atop the Empire State Building.
根据纽约历史学会（New-York Historical Society）资料显示，纽约被称为大苹果应追溯至1921年《纽约晨递报》（The New York Morning Telegraph）的一位作者约翰·J·费兹·葛瑞德（John J. Fitz Gerald）。约翰在报上主要是撰写赛马专栏的，他在赛马场跟来自于纽奥良的黑人马伕聊天时，得知他们对于有机会来到纽约兴奋不已，在他们眼中，纽约是个遍地黄金且充满机会的地方时，就以「大苹果（Big Apple）」做为形容，意思是既好看又好吃，人人都想咬上一口。（原文为：The Big Apple. The dream of every lad that ever threw a leg over a thoroughbred and the goal of all horsemen. There's only one Big Apple. That's New York.）
A big finish
这个我查了半天谷歌也没查到。觉得俚俗语的话，也许urban dictionary会有，结果一查惊呆了，肯定不是那个意思……
琢磨了半天，在谷歌上找了纽约帝国大厦的照片，觉得应该指的是最上面的那个尖顶？避雷针？
最后注意到“atop”，觉得是理解出了偏差，猜测a big finish是指大厦顶上俯瞰的风光。
所以最后译文定为：欣赏纽约中部林立的地标建筑，最后登顶帝国大厦，纵享无限风光。
然而，没有查到“a big finsih”确切意思，我觉得还是有点不放心。
知道的同学请帮忙解答下呀，谢谢！
