The First McDonald's Restaurant

1. Even though the first McDonald's restaurant sold only hamburgers and French fries, it still became a cultural symbol. Now, in the Southern California city of Downey, people are trying to save the first McDonald's restaurant in history. McDonald's, though, says the building should be torn down.

下一页上一页

2. Built in 1953, the restaurant in Downey, California, is the oldest of all the Golden Arches in America, and has the earliest McDonald's building design. 3. Many people have good memories of that old McDonald's. These people are angry that the building is now in danger of being destroyed, along with their memories.

4. McDonald's explains that the building was damaged in an earthquake, and therefore needs to be torn down. Many people in the town of Downey don't agree with this line of thinking, though. 5. One woman says, "I think it's terrible. They are using the earthquake as an excuse. It's a big lie."

下一页上一页


6. Another Downey resident remarks, "I am so upset. They don't respect the public at all. They haven't even tried. They could do some small repairs and make it a good restaurant again." 7. McDonald's managers say the restaurant is losing money at that location. There is no room for a drive-thru window, or for seating inside. After the earthquake, they say it was impossible to fix. The managers want to build a copy of this building at another location instead.

下一页上一页


8. Building inspectors, on the other hand, say that the structure can be repaired, but that it will be expensive. Many people say that McDonald's can certainly afford to pay that amount. Some think that McDonald's real reason for wanting to close down the restaurant has nothing to do with money.

下一页上一页


9. Modern McDonald's restaurants often have a sign claiming that a man named Ray Kroc opened the first McDonald's restaurant in Illinois in 1955. The truth, however, is that Mr. Kroc actually learned the fast food business from Dick and Mac McDonald in Downey. Later, Mr. Kroc bought their restaurants. Thus, many people in Downey think McDonald's is trying to change history, though the company denies this.

下一页上一页


10. To local historians, this explanation makes total sense. One historian said, "We should not rewrite the past. Ray Kroc did not invent McDonald's. The McDonald brothers did." 11.These days, a group of historians want the building to be added to the National Register of Historic Places so that the city of Downey will be able to stop McDonald's from tearing the building down. The McDonald's managers are very angry, and have abandoned the structure.

下一页上一页


12. Everyone hopes that the McDonald's managers and the people of Downey will soon find peace. The building is still there, but boards cover the windows. Even so, people drive by to remember their McDonald's, taking pictures of a moment in history before it gets taken away.

第一家麦当劳餐馆1. 虽说第一家麦当劳餐馆只售汉堡包和薯条，它还是成了一种文化象征。如今在加州南部唐尼市，人们正努力保住历史上第一家麦当劳餐馆。然而，麦当劳却称这幢房子应该拆掉。

下一页上一页


2. 坐落于加州唐尼的这家餐馆建于 1953年，是美国所有带双拱形金色标志的建筑中历史最久的，它的设计也是麦当劳最早的建筑设计。 3. 许多人对那家餐馆有着美好的回忆。这些人想到餐馆连同他们美好的回忆一起将被摧毁，感到很气愤。

下一页上一页


4. 麦当劳方面解释说，那家老店在一次地震中遭到损坏，因此必须拆掉。不过，唐尼的许多人却不同意这种说法。5. 有位女士说：“我认为这种说法令人讨厌。他们在利用那次地震作借口。这是一个极大的慌言。”

下一页上一页


6. 另一位唐尼市市民说：“非常难过。一点也不尊重公众的意见，甚至都没试着那样做。他们可以稍加修理，使它再成为一家好餐馆。”7. 麦当劳的经理们说餐馆设在那个位置一直在亏本。那儿没有地方可以开辟“免下车外卖窗口” , 里面也没有地方安排堂吃座位。他们说，那次地震后这个餐馆就没办法修了。不过那些经理们想在其他位置按原餐馆再仿造一家

下一页上一页


8. 但是房屋检修人员说建筑是可以修理的，

不过费用昂贵。许多人说这个费用麦当劳

当然承受得起。有人认为麦当劳想关闭这

家餐馆的真正原因与金钱无关。

下一页上一页


9. 现代的麦当劳餐馆常常有一个牌子，声称有个叫雷·克罗克的男人于 1955 年在伊利诺伊州开张了首家麦当劳餐馆。然而事实是，克罗克先生的快餐生意实际上是从唐尼市的迪克·麦当劳和麦克·麦当劳那里学来的。后来克罗克先生买下了他们的餐馆。因此，尽管公司竭力否认，唐尼镇的许多人还是认为麦当劳是想篡改历史。

下一页上一页


10. 在当地的历史学家看来，这种解释颇有道理。有位历史学家说：“历史不容篡改。雷·克罗克没有创建麦当劳。创建麦当劳的是麦氏兄弟。”11. 这些天来，一组历史学家希望将该处列入国家历史文物保护单位名册，这样，唐尼镇就能使麦当劳免遭拆除。麦当劳的经理们非常恼火 , 因而将房屋弃置一旁。

下一页上一页


12. 人人都希望麦当劳的经理们与唐尼镇的居民很快达成一致。房子仍在，但窗子用木板封了起来。即便如此，人们仍开车前来纪念他们的麦当劳，想抢在它被拆除前拍照留念，留下历史上的珍贵一刻。
