Especially worthwhile, in my opinion, is the stretch south of Sedan that takes in towns such as Mouzon and villages like Wiseppe.
我认为特别值得一看的是色当(Sedan)南面的地区,像莫桑镇(Mouzon)和瓦斯普村(Wiseppe)这些地方。
I really don't think you could have quite the same experience in a car, but that's not to say there are no downsides to bicycle travel. I find that I constantly have in mind Dr Johnson's judgment on the Giant's Causeway. The 18th-century man of letters famously remarked that this bizarre formation of rocks in Northern Ireland was worth seeing, but not worth "going" to see.
我真的不认为坐在汽车里会有同样的体验,但也不是说自行车旅行没有缺点。我发现自己总是把约翰森博士对“巨人之路”( Giant's Causeway)的著名点评记在心里,这位十八世纪的作家评论说,北爱尔兰奇特的岩石构造值得看,但是不值得“走过去”看。
This maxim I had to apply to Mt Malgré-Tout, which I was told was the scene of a wartime massacre of French civilians by the Nazis. In other circumstances I'm sure it would have proved an interesting diversion, but as I gazed up the steep slope that leads up to it, there was just no way I was going to find out.
我把这句至理名言用到了摩尔格力.透特山上(Mt Malgré-Tout),有人告诉我,这里在二次大战期间曾有法国平民被纳粹屠杀。在其它情况下,我肯定会觉得这是一个有意思地方,但是当我把目光投向陡峭的山坡时,却找不到上山的路。
