 There are several strange and unique McDonalds’ in the United States, including a colonial-themed locale in Independence, Ohio; a river boat restaurant on the 


 
Mississippi River in St. Louis, Missouri; and a brightly lit Golden Arches in the middle of Times Square. However, the most unusual McDonald’s location on U.S. soil 
 
can be found in New Hyde Park, New York, where the franchise 1 opened its doors in a gorgeous Georgian mansion 2 that dates back to 1795. 
在美国有几个奇怪和独特的麦当劳店,包括在俄亥俄州独立区的一个殖民主题餐厅,密苏里州的圣路易斯市的密西西比河上的一个水上船餐厅,和时代广场中央的有着一个闪亮的金色拱门的餐厅。但是,美国最不平凡的麦当劳餐厅坐落在纽约市的新德公园;在那的一个可以追溯到1795年的华丽的格鲁吉亚豪宅里面,最精美的麦当劳店开张了。
 
Before one can fault the corporate 3 giant for opening a restaurant in a historical landmark 4, it must first be noted 5 that this mansion — known by locals as the Denton 
 
House — was abandoned and on the verge 6 of collapse 7 before McDonald’s purchased the property in the 1980s. 
如果有谁要批评这个企业巨头在历史地标上开一家餐厅,那他首先应该注意到,这座被当地人称作丹敦房子的房屋是被废弃的,而且在20世纪80年代,早于麦当劳购买这栋房子之前,它已经岌岌可危了。
