3 Salt Lake City
[ˊsɔ:ltleɪkˊsɪtɪ] г. Солт-Лейк-Сити, столица штата Юта. Сверкающий оазис среди пустыни, город мормонов, Солт-Лейк-Сити обязан своим происхождением и процветанием двум вещам: истории и природе. Влияние церкви мормонов видно повсюду: все улицы в городе проложены под прямым углом друг к другу, центральная точка — Храмовая площадь. Так приказал глава мормонов Бригхам Янг [*Young, Brigham] в 1847, когда он воплощал в жизнь заповеди пророка мормонов Джозефа Смита [*Smith, Joseph]. Бригхам Янг привёл сюда гонимых всеми мормонов, проделав путь в 1000 миль через пустыни и горы в поисках земли обетованной, где бы их оставили в покое. Превращение голой пустыни в место обитания было главной задачей мормонов, и город — это плод их титанического труда. А роль природы состояла в том, что к западу от бассейна Солёного озера она создала Уосатчские горы [Wasatch Mountains], резко поднимающиеся вверх над пустыней Большого Солёного озера ( идеальны для горнолыжников). Создав в горах плотины для сбора воды от таяния снегов, мормоны оросили посевы долины. В городе сейчас ок. 170 тыс. жителей, более 600 тыс. жителей живут в прилегающих пригородах, зажатых между горами, Большим Солёным озером и пустыней. Культурная жизнь относительно небольшого города, существующего в определённой изоляции, вызывает восхищение. Симфонический оркестр [Utah Symphony], один из крупнейших в США, регулярно гастролирует в Европе, балетная труппа [*Ballet West] — одна из наиболее известных в США, а знаменитый хор Мормонского храма [Mormon Tabernacle Choir] не нуждается в рекламе. Построенный к 200- летию США Центр исполнительских искусств [Bicentennial Center for the Performing Arts] имеет три отдельных здания для концертов, балета и художественных выставок. Понедельник, когда в большинстве американских городов замирает театрально-концертная деятельность, для жителей Солт-Лейк-Сити, благодаря заповедям мормонской церкви («оставь понедельник для семьи»), — день просмотра кинофильмов и семейных выходов в кафе-мороженое (у мормонов большие семьи, а мороженое — единственное, что могут позволить себе мормоны, т.к. религия запрещает им пить и курить; раньше допускалось многожёнство, но сейчас формально не практикуется). Прозвище: «город мормонов» [‘Mormon City’]. Житель: Salt Lake Citian. Районы, улицы, площади: Храмовая площадь [Temple Square], центр города [Central City], средняя часть города [Mid-City], площадь Кроссроудс-Плаза [Crossroads Plaza], площадь Тролли [Trolley Square].

(или к чему-л.) скептически, недоверчиво, критически [этим. лат. cum grano salis]Cowperwood, as was natural, heard much of her stage life. At first he took all this palaver with a grain of salt... (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Titan’, ch. XXVII) — Каупервуд слышал, разумеется, очень много о сценической жизни Стефани. Вначале он относился ко всей этой болтовне несколько скептически...
She was engaged on a long poem entitled ‘Silence’. And though he took her and her poems, like most things in this new world, with a pinch of satirical salt, he was to some extent impressed. (J. Lindsay, ‘A Local Habitation’, ch. 17) — Она писала сейчас большую поэму под заглавием "Тишина". Хотя он относился к Магде и ее поэтическому творчеству, как, впрочем, и ко всему окружающему, весьма иронически, эта девушка его интересовала.
