摘要：The Official Guide to San Diego’s ambitious California Pacific International Exposition began with unparalleled optimism, declaring that it was “Built Upon a Glorious Past Dedicated to a Glorious Future.”1 Designed to counteract problems of the Depression that were felt nationwide, the celebration, called “America’s Exposition,” represented “not the short ten months that have gone into its building, but the four hundred years that have seen California reach the heights. . . . Perhaps it is wiser to say that this Exposition is not so much a dedication to yesterday, today or tomorrow, but rather a toast, a god-speed to the continuation of an epic that will be written as the years march on.”2
