秋之旅:賞景之行 也是文化之旅(3)
Vibrant Cities
活力城市SPAIN // In Andalucía, where whitewashed villages are as common as sherry and jamon, Júzcar stands out--literally. But its brightly colored blue architecture isn't indigenous. It's the result of a marketing ploy; the town hosted the 2011 premiere of 'The Smurfs.' Today, tens of thousands of visitors flock here to experience these Moorish houses in their azure glory. For purists, the original terra-cotta roofs will be a welcome relief.
西班牙 // 在安達魯奇亞(Andalucía)，粉刷成白色的村落就像雪利酒和西班牙火腿一樣常見，而胡斯卡爾(Juzcar)是其中最出彩的一座村落——按照字面意思是這樣。但它鮮豔明快的藍色建築並不是與生俱來的，而是市場營銷策略的結果。這座小鎮舉辦了2011年《藍精靈》(The Smurfs)的首映式。如今，成千上萬的遊客蜂擁至此體驗這些籠罩在藍色光環中的蘑菇形房子。對於純化論者而言，當地原有的陶瓦屋頂將成爲一種受人青睞的安慰。MOROCCO// Like most popular Moroccan destinations, Chefchaouen has monumental mosques, traditional tea shops and a bustling medina. But while color in most cities is limited to the bazaar, Chefchaouen is awash in it. During the last century, the city's buildings were increasingly accented in vibrant blue--both as a cooling mechanism and as an act of spirituality by its once large Jewish population, for whom sky blue was a sacred color.
摩洛哥 // 像大多數受歡迎的摩洛哥旅遊城市一樣，小鎮舍夫沙萬(Chefchaouen)擁有不朽的清真寺、傳統的茶葉店和一處熙熙攘攘的阿拉伯人聚居區。雖然大多數城市的集市在外觀顏色上存在侷限性，但舍夫沙萬卻處處充斥着色彩。在過去的一個世紀裏，這座城市中越來越多的建築染上了充滿活力的藍色——既作爲一種降溫機制，也作爲猶太人的一種信教行爲。這座小鎮的許多居民都曾是猶太人。對他們來說，天空藍曾是一種神 的顏色。
NORWAY // The country's second-largest city may be best-known for its nearby fjords and glaciers, but Bergen is rich in culture and architecture. The latter is thanks to the German merchants of the Hanseatic League, who crowded Bergen's wharf with colorful wooden warehouses, which today comprise one of Norway's seven Unesco World Heritage Sites. Once filled with cod, they now house restaurants, shops and the Hanseatic Museum.
挪威 // 該國第二大城市卑爾根市(Bergen)最聞名於世的可能是其附近的峽灣與冰川，但它卻在文化和建築領域也建樹頗豐。而後者的興起多虧了漢薩同盟(Hanseatic League)的德國商人，他們在卑爾根的碼頭密密麻麻地修建了多彩的木製貨倉，這些貨倉在今天成爲了挪威的七大聯合國教科文組織世界遺產之一。曾經用來存放鱈魚的倉庫如今成了餐廳、商店和漢薩博物館(Hanseatic Museum)的所在地。
