阿拉斯加 錫特卡的港口 為了紀念阿拉斯加日，我們在阿拉斯加的錫特卡港，這里是19世紀早期俄美的前首都，當時它被稱為新奧爾漢格爾斯克。正是在1867年的這一天，俄羅斯帝國的官員正式將阿拉斯加的領土轉(zhuǎn)讓給美國，以720萬美元的價格出售，相當于每畝2美分。如今，這似乎是一個驚人的小價格，但在當時，反對者稱之為“蘇沃德的愚蠢”，因為當時的國務卿威廉·蘇厄德（William H.Seward）曾與該交易進行過談判。一開始很少有美國人遷移到“最后的邊界”，但在19世紀90年代，當在育空地區(qū)和阿拉斯加發(fā)現(xiàn)黃金時，大批探礦者和其他人開始在該地區(qū)掀起一波移民潮。從那以后，阿拉斯加，以其豐富的自然資源和驚人的美麗，一直是一個珍貴的美國領土和一個持久的美國荒野的象征。

英語原文:

In honor of Alaska Day, we're in the harbor of Sitka, Alaska, the former capital of Russian America in the early 19th century, when it was called Novo-Arkhangelsk. It was here on this day in 1867 that officials of the Russian Empire formally transferred the Territory of Alaska to the United States in a sale for $7.2 million, or just around 2 cents per acre. It seems an astonishingly small price today, but at the time, opponents called it 'Seward's Folly' after then-Secretary of State William H. Seward, who negotiated the deal. Few Americans moved to the 'Last Frontier' at first, but in the 1890s, when gold was discovered in the Yukon and Alaska, a rush of prospectors and others began a wave of settlers in the territory. Ever since, Alaska, with its vast natural resources and staggering beauty, has been a prized American domain and an enduring symbol of American wilderness.
