Venice, Italy is a magical place. It is one of the few cities in the world where the sound of cars are never heard. Instead, when it is quiet, one hears the lapping of waves against the city's magnificent Renaissance buildings.

意大利的威尼斯是一个神奇的天堂，它是世界上少数几个城市听不到汽车声音的城市之一。取而代之的宁静，你可以听到水浪拍打着城市里伟大的文艺复兴时期的建筑


Venice is located in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea and is built on islands linked by more than 400 bridges. All transportation is by boat or on foot. Venice's most famous vehicles are gondolas, which drift slowly through the city's famed canals as the men steering the boats serenade passengers with arias from Italian operas.



威尼斯坐落于亚得里亚海的泻湖之上，由400多座桥梁连接而成。所有的运输工具都是船或者步行。威尼斯最著名的交通工具就是冈朵拉（Gondola），坐在冈朵拉上面可以一边看风景一边听艺人们演奏的意大利歌剧。


Venice becomes even more enchanting during Carnival. Carnival is an annual celebration before Lent, a 40-day period of fasting that precedes Easter. The dates of Carnival vary each year depending on the date of Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.

狂欢节上的威尼斯尤其迷人。嘉年华每年在四旬斋节前举行，在复活节前禁食40天.每年的嘉年华定为复活节前的第七个星期三，四旬斋的第一天。
