Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, U. S. A., is in the central part of the state, on the Santa Fe River, which flows into the Rio Grands 35 kilometres west of the city. More than two thousand metres above sea level, it lies in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains with the Ortiz Mountains to the southeast.
美国新墨西哥州首府圣达菲位于该州中部圣达菲河（Santa Fe River）畔，该河在该市以西35公里处流入格兰德河（Rio Grands）。海拔2000多米，位于桑格雷-德-克里斯托山脉，东南部是奥尔蒂斯山脉。
Santa Fe was founded in 1609 by the Spanish on an old Indian village. In 1680 the Indians seized the place but only held it for twelve years before the Spanish retook it. The city remained under Spanish rule until Mexico won its independence in 1821. From then on it was a Mexican city until 1846 when it was taken over by U. S. troops.
1609年，西班牙人在一个古老的印第安村庄建立了圣达菲。1680年，印第安人占领了这个地方，仅仅过了12年，西班牙人又重新夺回。1821年墨西哥获得独立之前，这座城市一直处于西班牙的统治之下。从那时起，一直属于墨西哥，直到1846年被美国军队接管。
With a population of 48, 953, Santa Fe is now the second largest city in the state. Because of its sunny weather, rich history and surrounding mountains, it is a good place for holiday makers. Besides hunting and skating in the mountains people enjoy shopping in the Indian and Spanish shops, which brings a large income to the city every year. In summer there is an international opera season when operas are shown in a partly-roofed, open-air theatre daily for people from all over the world.
圣达菲人口48953，现在是该州第二大城市。由于其晴朗的天气、丰富的历史和周围的山脉，成了度假者的好去处。除了在山上打猎和滑冰，人们还喜欢在印度和西班牙的商店购物，每年都会给这座城市带来巨额收入。夏季举办国际歌剧季，每天都有歌剧在一个半露天剧院上演，欢迎来自世界各地的人观看。
