原文：
Many movie stars live in Los Angeles. The city is sometimes called Tinseltown. This nickname comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.
Another nickname for Los Angeles is La-La Land, using the first letters of Los and Angeles. This means a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even out of touch with reality.
The city of Los Angeles is part of Los Angeles County. There are many smaller cities in the county. Beverly Hills, with its rich people, is one of them. So is Pasadena, with its Rose Parade each New Year's Day. So are the coastal cities of Santa Monica and Malibu, where people like to ride surfboards on the Pacific Ocean waves.
A good place for watching unusual-looking people is Venice, an area on the west side of Los Angeles. A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there.
Many people love Los Angeles for its warm sunny weather, beautiful mountains and beaches, and movie stars. That includes Randy Newman, who sings about his hometown.

许多电影明星都居住在洛杉矶。这个城市有时会被称为好莱坞。这个昵称源于其闪耀、明亮，以及好莱坞和电影业中的虚幻之质。
洛杉矶的另外一个昵称是虚幻之地，取自Los和Angeles这两个单词的首字母。意为一片欢乐、轻松的乐土，有时甚至与现实脱节。
洛杉矶是洛杉矶郡的一部分。这个郡还包括很多小城市。贝弗利山，拥有很多富翁，是其中之一。同样的还有帕萨迪纳，以其每个新年的玫瑰巡游活动而著称。还有一些沿海城市，比如圣莫妮卡和马里布，那里的人们喜欢在太平洋的海浪上进行冲浪。
有个地方能看到打扮独特的人—威尼斯，它位于洛杉矶的西部。其水路系统是仿照意大利的威尼斯而设计修建的。
许多人喜欢洛杉矶，是因为其舒适、阳光般的天气，美丽的高山和沙滩，还有当地的电影明星。这些明星中包括歌唱过自己家乡的兰迪纽曼。
