冰岛首都雷克雅未克,冰岛语意为“冒烟的城市”。传说公元9世纪人们来此定居时,远远就看到岸上升起袅袅“白烟”,便误把温泉里蒸腾的水气认作烟雾,因此得名。由于地热能为其工业提供能源,所以人们在这里看不到其它城市常见的锅炉和烟囱。雷克雅未克天空蔚蓝,市容整洁几乎没有污染,故有“无烟城市”之称。
Iceland, the land of fire and ice, is home to Reykjavik, the world’s northernmost capital. Home to just a little over 100,000 people, it’s hardly a giant among cities. But don’t be fooled by its sleepy 1)appearance, there’s a lot more bubbling just beneath the surface.
冰岛,火与冰之岛,是世界上最北的首都——雷克雅未克的所在地。人口才十万多一点的雷克雅未克,还不是一个大城市。但别被它静寂的外表骗倒,沉静的表面下热血沸腾。
John Bell (Travel Editor): Reykjavik’s often compared with 2)Reading, which is rather sad. Iceland, cold, snow, small, 3)insignificant. Whoa, not on Friday night in Reykjavik!
约翰•贝尔(旅游编辑): 人们常拿雷克雅未克跟里丁比较,那令人很难过。这个城市处于冰冷之地、多雪、小而不起眼,喔,而在周五晚则不同了。
The Icelandic capital is, without doubt, one of the world’s wildest party towns, and for a night out the good folk of Reykjavik are hard to beat.
毫无疑问,冰岛首都是世界上最狂野的派对城镇之一。快乐的雷克雅未克人晚上玩得很疯狂,无人能及。
