These days, though, it is getting hard to find much that is French on the Champs-Elysées, besides a few cinemas, car showrooms and luxury brands.

目前，在香榭丽舍大街上，除了几家电影院、汽车展览厅、奢侈品牌之外，已经很难找到更多法国本土品牌了。

When the first majestic lines of trees were planted in the 17th century by André Le Nôtre, Louis XIV’s landscape architect, the Champs-Elysées was a shady walk.

早在17世纪，路易十四时期的风景设计师勒诺特，在香榭丽舍大街的两旁栽下了一排排壮观的树木，自此，香榭丽舍大街就成了一条林荫大道。

Unlike London’s Bond Street or New York’s Fifth Avenue, the Champs-Elysées is where soldiers march, tanks roll and planes fly past in the annual Bastille Day parade every July 14th.

与伦敦邦德街、曼哈顿第五大道不同，每逢7月14日法国国庆日这天，这条大道都会被国庆士兵的行军声、坦克的履带声、以及飞机的轰鸣声所淹没。
