Just as State warns Americans about dangerous places to travel, so too do foreign ministries in other countries — and some countries warn their citizens to avoid heading to certain cities in the US. France, in particular, warns travelers to be careful in a large number of specific cities.
Here’s what other countries, mostly France, say about American cities:
Boston: Avoid walking at night in Dorchester, Mattapan and Roxbury, and be wary of “petty crime” in Chinatown, the North End and Fenway.
New York: Be wary in Times Square and at the Statue of Liberty, and don’t go to Harlem, the Bronx or Central Park at night.
Washington: Northeast and Southeast should be avoided, and Union Station is dangerous at night. “Le quartier Anacostia n’est pas recommandable de jour comme de nuit.” Translation: Don’t go to Anacostia, day or night.
Baltimore:“Considered a dangerous city except downtown.”
Richmond:“Do not visit the city on foot.”
Pittsburgh: The French urge their citizens to avoid Mount Oliver, Hill District, Homewood-Brushton and Hazelwood.
Cleveland: Avoid Cleveland Heights, Lakewood and Euclid. That warning got Cleveland Heights Mayor Edward Kelly upset. “The French government is foolish and doesn’t know what they’re talking about,” he told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Detroit:“The center is not recommended after the close of business.”
Chicago: Stay away from the West Side and anywhere south of 59th Street.
Houston: Be vigilant if traveling through Downtown, south and east Houston at night.
St. Louis:“Eviter le quartier nord entre l’aéroport et le centre-ville, mais la navette reliant l’aéroport est s re.” Translation: Avoid northern area between the airport and the city center, but the airport shuttle is safe (Hat tip to our friend Chris Good, of ABC News, for spotting that nugget).
Atlanta: The French are nervous about the southern part of the city, and downtown after dark.
New Orleans: Northwest of Dauphine Street, northeast of Ursulines Avenue, north of St. Charles Avenue and south of Magazine Street are areas of concern.
Miami:“Canadians have been the victims of crime such as break-ins, assaults and pickpocketing in the Miami area, sometimes during daylight hours,” Canada’s foreign ministry warns. France says attacks on tourists in Florida are rare now, but were frequent a few years ago.
Los Angeles: France warns tourists to take care in Hollywood, Santa Monica, Venice Beach and Long Beach, and to avoid Watts, Inglewood and Florence.
El Paso: The British Foreign Office warns tourists about violence along the border with Mexico, and the border crossing at Ciudad Juarez specifically.
Germany doesn’t warn its citizens about any specific cities, but it does caution against letting it all hang out: “Although the laws in individual states categorizing nudity as ‘indecent exposure’, are rarely asserted and punished, those laws should absolutely be followed. Nude bathing and changing clothes at the beach stirs up public agitation and can lead to unpleasantnesses.”
正當(dāng)美國(guó)在警告國(guó)人不要去危險(xiǎn)地方旅游的同時(shí)，其他國(guó)家的外交部也在采取一樣的措施。有些國(guó)家警告國(guó)民避免去美國(guó)特定的一些城市。特別是法國(guó)提醒旅行者去很多城市的時(shí)候都要保持警惕。
以下是其他國(guó)家（特別是法國(guó)）關(guān)于去美國(guó)一些城市旅行的警告：
波士頓：若到多切斯特、馬塔潘和羅克斯伯里，請(qǐng)避免晚上出行，同時(shí)要提防唐人街、北城（North End ）和芬威（Fenway）的小偷小摸行為。
紐約：若去時(shí)代廣場(chǎng)或參觀自由女神，請(qǐng)時(shí)刻保持警惕，晚上不要去黑人住宅區(qū)、布朗區(qū)和中央公園。
華盛頓：避開華盛頓東北和東南部，聯(lián)合車站（Union Station）晚上很危險(xiǎn)。還有，請(qǐng)記住：不管白天還是夜晚，絕不能踏進(jìn)阿納克斯蒂亞（Anacostia）半步。
巴爾的摩：“除了市區(qū)，其他地帶都很不安全。”
里士滿：“不要徒步參觀市區(qū)。”
匹茲堡：法國(guó)強(qiáng)烈要求國(guó)民避開阿利蓋尼（Mount Oliver）、山區(qū)（Hill District）、荷姆斯泰德-布拉什頓（Homewood-Brushton）和黑澤爾伍德（Hazelwood）。
克利夫蘭：避開克利夫蘭海茨、萊克伍德和歐幾里得。這個(gè)警告讓克利夫蘭海茨市長(zhǎng)愛德華·凱利很緊張。他告訴《克利夫蘭實(shí)話報(bào)》，“法國(guó)政府真是愚蠢，他們自己都不知道自己在講什么。”
底特律：“下班以后，不要去市中心參觀。”
芝加哥：遠(yuǎn)離西區(qū)（West Side）和59街南的任何地帶。
休斯頓：夜晚出游市區(qū)、南部和東部都要警惕。
圣路易斯：避開機(jī)場(chǎng)和市中心中間的北部地區(qū)，但機(jī)場(chǎng)巴士是安全的（感謝我們來(lái)自美國(guó)廣播公司新聞網(wǎng)的朋友克里斯·古德提供的信息）
亞特蘭大：法國(guó)很擔(dān)心該城市天黑后的南方及市區(qū)地帶安全。
新奧爾良：警惕多芬街（Dauphine Street）西北部、烏爾蘇拉大道（Ursulines Avenue）、圣查爾斯街（St. Charles Avenue）北部和雜志街（Magazine Street）南部。
邁阿密：加拿大外交部提醒國(guó)民：“加拿大人深受該地區(qū)入室盜竊、襲擊和扒竊的毒害，有時(shí)候犯罪行為還會(huì)在白天發(fā)生。”法國(guó)稱佛羅里達(dá)襲擊游客的事件現(xiàn)在很少了，但幾年前時(shí)有發(fā)生。
洛杉磯：法國(guó)警告游客在好萊塢、圣塔莫尼卡、威尼斯海灘和長(zhǎng)灘都要當(dāng)心，同時(shí)避開沃茨、英格爾伍德和弗洛倫斯。
厄爾巴索：英國(guó)外交部提醒游客提防美國(guó)和墨西哥交界處的暴亂，具體地說(shuō)，就是華雷斯市的邊境通道地帶。
德國(guó)沒(méi)具體指明游客該警惕哪個(gè)城市，但它對(duì)“毫無(wú)諱忌”的行為也發(fā)出了警告：“雖然每個(gè)州的法律都把裸體視為‘有傷風(fēng)化的暴露’，但裸露卻很少被判為違法或受到處罰。任何人都必須無(wú)條件遵守法律。裸泳或在沙灘換衣服會(huì)引起公眾騷動(dòng)，而且還可能引發(fā)爭(zhēng)執(zhí)。” |
