匹斯堡。。。美丽的山城！匹斯堡是座古老的城市，即227年前就已存在，自然的原始森林怀抱古城，一片绿色的海洋。由于地处丘陵，驱车向市郊运行，用不了十分钟。

① "Another common Pittsburgh sound is how words like doing and going are pronounced
②" "I guess moving away from Pittsburgh I really changed to a more standard English vocabulary, and I didn't even realize that growing up I had a grammatical problem. Things like, 'That shirt needs washed.'"

"Like this and like that. And they also say 'and at' as sort of a connector at the end of a sentence. 'Yinz guys going down the Steelers game and at?' 'And at' is 'and that," and the th is gone from the beginning of that."
"The vowel would be 'ue' They're sort of pronounced 'ue-en', Like 'How you doin'? This is what you hear people say when they're greeting you. 'How you doin'?' 'Where you goin'?' instead of 'Where are you going?' So they are really merged together as a similar vowel."
"That's the one thing I can identify as a grammatical difference. And in standard English you would say 'The shirt needs to be washed.' And in Pittsburghese they have extended that pattern from the present participle 'needs washing' to the past participle as well and they say 'needs washed.'"
