2.Gangnam is a wealthy neighborhood in Seoul 江南是首尔一个富裕的街区
    Gangnam may only be 15 square miles, but the district in Seoul, South Korea, is home to the headquarters of some of the country's most influential companies, including Samsung, Hyundai and LG. The region also makes up seven percent of South Korea's GDP. Forty-one percent of students at Seoul University, a very prestigious college, come from Gangnam. The lyrics of PSY's song describe the personality traits of a girl and a guy.
    江南区只有15平方英里，但这个位于韩国首尔的区域却是几家韩国最具影响力的公司总部所在地，包括三星、现代和LG。这里还贡献了韩国7%的GDP。著名的首尔大学里，有41%的学生来自江南区。鸟叔这首歌的歌词描述了这里的男生和女生的性格特点。
