One of the lands of the midnight sun, Finland has much more to offer than the cold nights, saunas, and skiing it is often associated with. Visitors are enchanted by charming villages alongside sophisticated cities and the largest unspoiled wilderness in Europe. Finland is one of the most progressive countries in the world. For example, traffic fines are linked to gross income; an Internet millionaire recently paid US$70,000 for a speeding ticket. A reputation for efficiency and organization has also made Finland host to many international meetings.
芬蘭,一個(gè)在午夜可以見(jiàn)到太陽(yáng)的國(guó)家,除了常被人們想到的寒夜、桑拿浴與滑雪,還有更多風(fēng)格獨(dú)特的面貌。優(yōu)雅城市周邊的迷人村莊和歐洲占地最廣、未遭人工破壞的荒野,往往令游客們陶醉不已。芬蘭是全球最發(fā)達(dá)的國(guó)家之一。舉個(gè)例子,其交通罰款的金額視個(gè)人總收入而定。最近一名網(wǎng)絡(luò)巨子就因超速駕駛支付了7萬(wàn)美元的罰單。芬蘭也因其高效率和很強(qiáng)的組織力的美譽(yù)而主辦了許多國(guó)際會(huì)議。
