意大利有許多受歡迎的城市，談?wù)勥@些城市

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論意大利，
 
意大利有許多受歡迎的城市，談?wù)勥@些城市
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: So Marion, you've lived in Italy. (Yes) Italy has many favorite cities. Can you talk a little bit about them?
 
瑪里昂，你曾在意大利生活過。（對(duì)）意大利有許多受歡迎的城市。你能談?wù)勥@些城市嗎？
 
B: Sure, well the first city I lived in was Genoa. And Genoa is on the Riviera, so it's a very beautiful place. It's a port city, so my apartment was actually looking out over the port, so I had a great apartment. It was a great view. Genoa has a very old center, so the buildings are hundreds and hundreds of years old obviously but it's quite dirty, well I don't really want to say dirty, but it's not very well looked after, the historical center, which is a pity but it does have really a lot of character. I really liked it.
 
當(dāng)然可以，我去的第一個(gè)意大利城市是熱那亞。熱那亞在里維埃拉地區(qū)，所以那是個(gè)非常漂亮的地方。熱那亞是個(gè)港口城市，那里的許多公寓都可以俯瞰港口，我住的公寓就很棒，視野非常好。熱那亞有一個(gè)古老的中心，那里的建筑都有數(shù)百年的歷史，不過那里很臟，雖然我真的很不想用臟來形容，不過熱那亞歷史中心并沒有得到好的保護(hù)，這點(diǎn)有些遺憾，不過意熱那亞確實(shí)很有特色。我非常喜歡那里。
 
A: So what other cities have you been to?
 
你還去過哪些城市？
 
B: Well, I've been to Rome of course. I've been to Rome a few times. I think it's one of my favorite cities actually. I love the fact that in Rome, you walk out of your hotel, or wherever you're staying and you're just surrounded by history, by this amazing, you know, the Coliseum for example. Actually the first time I ever arrived in Italy, I came from the airport directly to the Coliseum station and I walked out the door of that metro station and there was the Coliseum in front of me. It was one of those moments. It was "Ah, my God!" and there was a full moon up to the left of the coliseum. It was like, almost too perfect, too good to be true.
 
我還去了羅馬。我去過羅馬幾次。我認(rèn)為羅馬是我最喜歡的城市之一。我喜歡羅馬的原因是，你走出酒店后會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，無論你在哪里都能感覺到濃濃的歷史氛圍，這非常不可思議，以古羅馬斗獸場(chǎng)為例，實(shí)際上在我第一次去意大利的時(shí)候，我從機(jī)場(chǎng)直接去了古羅馬斗獸場(chǎng)，我走出地鐵站后看到古羅馬斗獸場(chǎng)就在我眼前。當(dāng)時(shí)我想：“哦，我的天哪！”那時(shí)古羅馬斗獸場(chǎng)左邊懸掛著一輪滿月。那種感覺太完美了，完美的不真實(shí)。
 
A: Ah, did you get a chance to go to Venice?
 
你有沒有去過威尼斯？
 
B: Yes, I did. Actually, I went to Venice several times. The first time I went was great. We had a chance to travel around, or walk around, and see the city for ourselves. It's really amazing, you know all these bridges, and if you want to get anywhere you have to hop on a boat, and the second time I went though, it was for Carnival, Carnivale, that was amazing thing, so everybody is dressed up in their costumes, and the costumes are really, really elaborate actually and people were having their faces painted, that kind of thing, and everybody was in really good spirits, you know. It was a great occasion.
 
去過。我去過威尼斯很多次。第一次去的時(shí)候非常棒。我們有機(jī)會(huì)可以四處轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)，親自去領(lǐng)略這個(gè)城市的魅力。那真是太神奇了，威尼斯有很多橋，如果你想去任何一個(gè)地方，你都要坐船去，我第二次去威尼斯的時(shí)候趕上狂歡節(jié)，簡(jiǎn)直難以置信，所有人都穿著異常華麗的戲服，臉上涂抹著油彩，精神抖擻。那個(gè)活動(dòng)非常精彩。
 
A: Sounds fun. And lastly did you get a chance to go to Florence?
 
聽起來很有趣。那你去過佛羅倫薩嗎？
 
B: Yes, I did actually. I went often because I lived an hour away in Pisa, and so Florence is amazing, it's just maybe the most cultural city after Rome as regards art galleries and that kind of thing and just the city itself. It's all that kind of Terra Cotta hues of the buildings, you know, and big piazzas, lots of statues and it has a bit of a rich feel to it actually, so, yeah. It's a really good place to people watch as well.
 
我去過。我經(jīng)常去那里，因?yàn)槲易≡诒人_時(shí)離佛羅倫薩只有1小時(shí)的車程，佛羅倫薩也很棒，在藝術(shù)博物館和城市本身方面，佛羅倫薩可能是除羅馬以外最具文化氛圍的城市。佛羅倫薩的建筑都鑲嵌著彩色瓷磚，還有很多大型廣場(chǎng)以及雕像，這些都給我一種奢華的感覺。那是很值得游覽的城市。
 
A: And Milan, did you get a chance to go to Milan?
 
那米蘭呢，你去過米蘭嗎？
 
B: Yeah, I stayed with a friend in Milan actually for a couple of weeks. Just a few years ago, even though I had passed through before, I didn't really like it because it's a big built up city, lots of smog and pollution, but when I stayed there with my friend and got to know it a bit better, I ended up quite liking it.
 
去過，我和一個(gè)朋友在米蘭呆了幾周的時(shí)間。幾年前我去那里的時(shí)候我完全不喜歡米蘭，因?yàn)槟鞘且粋€(gè)建筑物密集的城市，有許多霧和污染，可是我和朋友住在那里的時(shí)候，我對(duì)解米蘭這個(gè)城市有了更深的了解，最后我喜歡上了這個(gè)城市。
 
A: Ok, well, lastly, real quickly, if somebody was going to Italy, and there was only one city they could see, what would you recommend?
 
好，最后一個(gè)小問題，如果有人要去意大利，可是他們只能游覽意大利的一個(gè)城市，你會(huì)推薦哪里？
 
B: It would Rome, absolutely. Yeah.
 
那絕對(duì)是羅馬。
 
A: OK. Thanks a lot Marion.
 
好。非常謝謝你，瑪里昂。
 
B: You're welcome.
 
不客氣。
