The Hague

海牙

The next city on Kathy and Evan's itinerary is The Hague.

凱西和艾凡行程上的下一個城市是海牙。

E:After the hustle and bustle of Rotterdam, we can relax here in The Hague.

艾凡：在經(jīng)歷喧囂擾攘的鹿特丹之后，我們可以在海牙這里放松一下了。

K:I'm not very familiar with this city.

凱西：我對這個城市不是很熟悉。

E:Well, it's the third largest city in the Netherlands. It's also a kind of international capital.

艾凡：它是荷蘭的第三大城，也是一個國際性的首都。

K:What do you mean?

凱西：你這么說是什么意思呢?

E:Well, the World Court is here, and the city has always been an international center, playing a leading role in law and trade in Europe and, today, for the world.

艾凡：嗯，(聯(lián)合國)國際法庭在這兒，而且這個城市一直是個國際中心，在歐洲以及當(dāng)今世界的法律和貿(mào)易上都扮演領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的角色。

K:Gee, I didn't know that.

凱西：乖乖，我從沒聽過這件事。

E:You're not a diplomat! You're an artist, remember?

艾凡：你不是外交官!你是藝術(shù)家，記得嗎?

K:Very funny. Hey! What's that beautiful old castle there?

凱西：好好笑喲(反諷語)。嘿!那邊那座美麗的古堡是什么呢?

E:That's the center of this city. It was built by an early king here in the 13th century. Lots of old buildings were built around it, not to mention man-made canals and lakes. That's how the city got started.

艾凡：那是這個城市的中心點。古堡于十三世紀(jì)初由本地一位國王建造而成。許多古老的建筑物也環(huán)繞它的四周而建，更不用說是人造運(yùn)河和湖泊了。這個城市就是這樣開始的。

K:Fascinating. Er, what can we do here?

凱西：非常迷人的歷史。呃，在這里我們能做什么?

E:Are you kidding? There are more than a dozen museums, including a couple for both historic and contemporary art, and lots of theaters. Or tomorrow we can go to the beach.

艾凡：你在開玩笑嗎?這里有十幾間博物館，其中包括了幾個兼具歷代及當(dāng)代藝術(shù)的博物館，還有不少的劇院?；蛟S明天我們可以去海灘。

K:I'd love to see the North Sea!

凱西：我很想去看看北海!
