中国上海，南京东路
 

      It bills itself as the "best shopping street in China,"but in reality it's far from that.
号称是“中国最好的购物街”，但事实远非如此。

      Nanjing Dong Lu, whose history can be traced back 150 years ago, was once known as the "Number One Commercial Street in China." Most guidebooks recommend tourists check it out for its history.
      拥有150年历史的南京东路曾被誉为“中国第一商业街”，许多旅游指南都推荐游客们好好了解它的历史。

      But apart from a handful of old shops, any sense of history is largely gone.
      但是除了寥寥几家“百年老店”之外，这里已经没有什么“历史感”可言了。

      Locals are a rare sight. Ubiquitous brands that can be found on any major shopping street in Shanghai, however, are all too common.
      这里几乎见不着当地人，充斥其间的只有在上海各大商业街都能看到的品牌连锁店。
