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個神奇的天堂,它是世界上少數(shù)幾個城市聽不到汽車聲音的城市之一.取而代之的寧靜,你可以聽到水浪拍打著城市里偉大的文藝復興時期的建筑
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.
威尼斯坐落于亞得里亞海的瀉湖之上,由400多座橋梁連接而成.所有的運輸工具都是船或者步行.威尼斯最著名的交通工具就是岡朵拉（Gondola）,坐在岡朵拉上面可以一邊看風景一邊聽藝人們演奏的意大利歌劇.
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.
狂歡節(jié)上的威尼斯尤其迷人.嘉年華每年在四旬齋節(jié)前舉行,在復活節(jié)前禁食40天.每年的嘉年華定為復活節(jié)前的第七個星期三,四旬齋的第一天.
