It is a 38-acre wild garden in Central Park with rocky outcrops, secluded glades and a tumbling stream, built for visitors to stroll in (hence the name).
The lake is the largest body of water (excluding the Reservoir) in Central Park. It was created out of a large swamp in the south of the Park and was intended for boating in the summer and iceskating in the winter. Many visitors are content, however, to circle the lake on foot, following the pathways that wind along its shoreline, watching the Park’s tree-line shifting in its reflection.

Lions-and-Tigers-and-Bears课文翻译
Lions and Tigers and Bears于是我想我要在中央公园过夜。
我在背包里塞了一个睡袋、一大瓶矿泉水、一张地图和一把牙刷，在七月份一个阴沉闷热的星期五傍晚到达了那里。
我打算做的事情是：四处走走，一直到走累了，然后蜷在一棵树下，在野外睡个安稳觉。
当然，了解纽约的人都知道关于这座城市老生常谈的话题——夜里不能在中央公园闲逛——而这，不用说，正是吸引力所在：它是你平常不会做得事情。
而且据我所知，从大约150年前公园创建时期的主管人员决定夜里应该关闭公园时起，人们就不会这么做了。
奥格登•纳什在1961年这么写：如果黑夜降临后，你仍置身与中央公园，不要留恋吸引你的幽深小径，赶快，疾步走到动物园，爬进虎穴里。
老实说，那儿会更安全。
即使是现在，每个公园负责人、城市管理员和警察都告诉我们中央公园在白天是安全的，他们也都一致认为：只有傻瓜会在夜晚去那里，要么就是抢钱包的、疯子、妓女、毒品贩、杀人犯——更不用说恶棍、从背后勒人脖子抢劫的强盗和拦路强盗了。
9点15分我到达中央公园后便走向我所知道的唯一在夜间举行活动的场所：戴拉寇特剧院。
今晚上演的剧目是《驯悍记》。
灯光灭了，掌声响起，观众们开始退场。
到目前为止，一切还算正常，这和美国任何地方在室外上演的莎士比亚夏令剧目没什么不同，除了一点：一辆警车此时正醒目地停在人们的视野中，车顶上的灯正缓慢地旋转着。
警察在那里是为了让观众放心，使他们相信他们正受到保护；旋转着的红色警灯就像野外的篝火，警告四周存在的威胁不要靠近。
在来到公园的大约一个小时里，我漫步在戴拉寇特剧院周围，灯光、笑声以及回荡在这个夏夜里的莎士比亚戏剧的台词都让我感到安心。
我独自一人爬着眺望台城堡的台阶，透过亨利•卢斯自然气象台的窗户向内望去，辨认着莎士比亚花园里的香草，我当时感到很兴奋。
我转来转去，走到了一条被密不透风的树叶遮挡的蜿蜒小路上，然后，不到几分钟，我就迷路了。
前面有灯光，当我转过街角时，遇见了5个人，他们都穿着白色T恤衫，挤在一条长凳旁。
