淮海中路肯定要去的。以前是以一个法国将军的名字命名的，叫“霞飞路”。是全上海公认的最美丽、最摩登、最有腔调的一条街。比南京路更有品位，更上档次。你要买名牌买奢侈品的话，淮海中路堪比巴黎。

We definitely need to go to Middle Huaihai Road. It used to be named after a French general; it was called "Xiafei Road."

奇怪，你们怎么都对这些感兴趣。逛完淮海路再去一下思南路。是一条很短的非主流马路。两旁是高大的法国梧桐，和精致的小洋房，非常幽静。周公馆就在思南路上。孙中山故居也在附近。

It's so strange. Why are all you guys interested in that stuff? After we're done walking along Huaihai Road, we can go to Sinan Road. It's a very short road off the beaten path that's lined with plane trees and exquisite Western buildings on either side; it's extremely tranquil. The Zhou Gongguan is on Sinan Road and Sun Yat-sen's former residence is also nearby.
