求一篇简单的洛杉矶的英文介绍.

Los Angeles (U.S.)
Greater Los Angeles, on the southern west coast of the United States, takes in a range of geographical extremes, including a subtropical (亚热带的)desert, 76mi (122km) of sea coast, a pair of offshore islands and peaks that exceed 10,000ft (3000m) in elevation (海拔). But the most notable thing about Los Angeles' geography is that it straddles one of the world's major fault zones(断层带). The San Andreas Fault - which comes within 33mi (56km) of downtown LA - has been responsible for five serious quakes this century and dozens of imperceptible(感觉不到的)quakes every week.
  Covering 465 sq mi (1200 sq km), Los Angeles takes in 88 incorporated cities. The Santa Monica Mountains separate Hollywood and Beverly Hills from the San Fernando Valley to the north; adjacent Orange County, home of Disneyland, extends along the coast to the southeast. Santa Monica and Venice are on the coast, just west of Beverly Hills, while the international airport is south of Venice. Downtown (where you'll find Union Station, the Amtrak depot) is east of Hollywood, with Watts and Compton to its south. You'll find the main Greyhound terminal east of downtown and south of Little Tokyo. Head west from Santa Monica to get to Malibu.
  Basically, LA is a monster of a city to get around. It's a tangle of freeways and sprawling suburbs, where anyone without a car is considered intellectually impaired
