王府井大街上可能所有的建筑都进行了重建或扩建。香港新鸿基地产旗下的新东安市场是个巨大的购物中心，
北京第三家 Apple Store 就在那里。

但是穿过熙熙攘攘的人流闹市，在不经意中会发现眼前赫然耸立着一座天主教堂。

不过我在脑子里，仍还保存着对旧王府井和旧东安市场的一些记忆。

是啊，好像只有想起旧王府井才有真实亲切感。东安商场被更名(北京apm)多少有点可惜，百货大楼扩建改造后还算保留了不少北京特色；有些大而新的门面以及铺天盖地的广告，反倒是耀眼得让人感到空洞。

百年东单菜市场9月底重张
北京晚报 2015年08月25日 星期二

新址选在和平里 地上地下共7层 基地直供菜价能便宜30%

本报讯（记者张楠）从北京人的生活中消失了十多年的百年东单菜市场又回来了。新店选在了居民聚集的和平里地区,预计9月底开门迎客。由于采用了蔬果基地直供的方式，新东单菜市场的蔬果价格能比其他普通菜市场、超市便宜30%。在新东单菜市场开业当天，东四五条还会同步挂牌成立东单菜市场分店，居民可享受同步的价格和服务。

曾为京城4大菜市场之一

说起东单菜市场，最早的历史可以追溯到1902年清朝年间。那时候它的名字叫做“东菜市”，位于东长安街的东单路口西北角，东单二条胡同南侧。由于临近当时北京最早的使馆区东交民巷，一个普通的菜市场竟然还拥有自己的英文名字“East Market”，除了售卖一般的瓜果蔬菜、生活用品之外，还有一些在那个年代看起来格外稀罕的外国货出售，被当时的北京人公认为京城少有的“高档购物场所”。

一直到1958年公私合营后，“东菜市”改成了“东单菜市场”，由郭沫若先生亲自题写了牌匾，悬挂在菜市场的南门上。上世纪70年代，东单菜市场加上西单、朝内、崇文门菜市场，并立为北京城内最著名的4大菜市场。1997年，因为要在东单菜市场的原址位置上建如今的东方新天地购物广场，经营了整整95年的东单菜市场被整体拆除。

基地直供菜价便宜30%

考虑到东单紧邻长安街，周围都是写字楼、白领，已经不需要这样的大型便民菜市场了，新的东单菜市场选在了东城区和平里西街69号，从地铁和平里北街站一出来就能看见，方圆两公里内有社区42个，开业后预计将有30万户居民受益。

记忆中的东单菜市场

我想到王府井观观光还可以，不过人山人海、熙熙攘攘的也会很累。 真要买东西还是这边比较轻松惬意，高中低档次的消费品到处都是、应有尽有。

当年我刚到北京上学时，把大栅栏念成“dà zhà lán”。几位北京同学听了笑得前仰后合，笑得我莫名其妙。他们告诉我，应该念“大拾烂儿”！虽然我不理解为什么要这么念，但我想他们是北京人，这么念应该不会错。于是，“不理解也得执行”

Much like the spelling bee, I will attempt to use each of the landmarks in a sentence in an effort to help.

BURNET ROAD - Seems easy enough, right? I thought so, too, until I learned that it is pronounced BURN-it, not Bur-NETT. My son has his martial arts classes in Austin on BURN-it Road.

BUDA, Texas - This is not pronounced "Buddha". Instead, the phonetic pronunciation is BYOO-duh. The Y is not a separate syllable. Instead, it's like a hard Y sound, sort of like the "y" in "yarn". I am headed to BYOO-duh for a barbeque tonight.

HUTTO, Texas - This one has always seemed really easy to me, so I am constantly surprised when I hear someone say "HOO-toe" when it is clearly "HUT-toe", as it appears. My family and I live very close to HUT-toe.

MANCHACA Road - This is one of the worst offenders around. It would seem to be the Spanish pronunciation - Mahn-CHA-cah, right? Wrong. It is pronounced "MAN-shack", like a seedy bar. MAN-shack is a road in south Austin. It is also the name of a town just south of Austin.

ELGIN, Texas - This town located due east of Austin about 30 minutes is pronounced "ELL-gihn", not "ELL-Jen" like the watch company. ELL-gihn is home to regionally famous "ELL-gihn hot guts" (sausage).

KOENIG Lane - Try getting used to saying, "KAY-neg", NOT "KOH-nig". KAY-neg Lane has several names, as it is the same road as 290 (to the east), Northland, and 2222 (to the west). Easy, huh?

MANOR, Texas - This is a common problem for newcomers, as manor is an actual word used elsewhere in the English language. In central Texas, however, this is pronounced "MAY-nur". MAY-nur is located between Austin and ELL-gihn. MAY-nur is also a road near central Austin.

PFLUGERVILLE, Texas - This is where we have lived for 13 years, and it is named after the Pfluger family. As you might imagine, the P is silent and the rest is pretty much phonetic - FLOO-gur-ville. I enjoy living in FLOO-gur-ville.

LLANO, Texas - Try "LANN-oh". LANN-oh is on the outskirts of the Austin metro area.

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas - This German-settled town between Austin and San Antonio is home to Schlitterbahn, which is a giant water park and regional summer destination. The primary mistake I see here is people putting an additional "s" after "braun". It is New Braunfels, not New Braunsfels.

Yueyin,

那你还算好的呢，记得航院里我爸的同事一板一眼管它叫 “dà shān lán” 的南方人大有人在，就连我也是以后上了高中要跑城里才知道大栅栏北京话应该怎样说。
