圣彼得堡特寫Spotlight on St.PetersburgSt.Petersburg.The very name brings to mind some of Russia's greatest poets,writers and composers:Pushkin,Dostoevsky,Tchaikovsky.The 19th century was a golden age for St.Petersburg's wealthy classes.It was a world of ballets and balls,of art and literature,of tea and caviar.圣彼得堡，只要提到這個名字就讓人想起那些俄國最偉大的詩人、作家以及作曲家：普希金、杜斯妥也夫斯基、柴可夫斯基。十九世紀對圣彼得堡的富有階級來說是段黃金歲月。那是一個充滿了芭蕾舞和舞會、藝術和文學、茶和魚子醬的世界。The golden age ended with the advent of World War 1.Working people were growing more and more discontented.In 1917,Communism came,promising peace and prosperity.這段黃金歲月因為第一次世界大戰(zhàn)的來臨而結束。工人階級的不滿愈來愈高漲。1917年時，共產(chǎn)黨來了并向人民保證和平與繁榮。St.Petersburg had become Petrograd in 1914.People wanted a Russian name for their city.Ten years later,the city's name changed again,this time to Leningrad.Then in 1991,Leningraders voted to restore the city's original name.Some people opposed the name change altogether.Others thought it was just too soon.Old,run-down Soviet Leningrad,they said,was not the St.Petersburg of 19th-century literature.圣彼得堡在1914年變成彼得格勒。人們想為這個城市取個俄國名字。十年之后，這個城市的名字又改了，這一次叫做列寧格勒。然后在1991年，列寧格勒的居民投票恢復了此城最初的名字。有些人徹底反對改名字，有些人認為名字改得太快了。他們說老舊的蘇維埃列寧格勒已不再是十九世紀的圣彼得堡了。令人神往的埃塞俄比亞Much of the fascination of Ethiopia lies in its myriad historical sites, the obelisks and stele of Axum, the churches and coptic monasteries in the Tigre, in the Lake Tana isles and in the Lalibela: the African Jerusalem with its monolithic churches. In Ethiopia there are also nine national parks, two of which include the mountain groups of the Simien and the Bale, while the others lie in the Rift Valley towards Kenya. The unforeseeabl e wild landscapes are surely the main attraction of these parks, where many of the animal species are protected, and some of them are endemic to the area. The proximity of Ethiopia to the Equator and the variety of its habitats make it one of the richest countries in Africa in wild bird life. History and nature are not the only attractions of this surprising country. It is a unique experience to come into contact with its people, so deeply rooted in their traditional culture, to participate in religious rites in one of the many Coptic churches, to meet native populations like the Hamer, the Mursi, the Caro and the many others whose lifestyle is hard to imagine today, so far is it from our modern life. 埃塞俄比亞這個國家最讓人神往的便是它無數(shù)的歷史古跡，方尖石塔，阿克蘇姆（Axum）石碑，教堂，塔納湖島Tigre的科普特人修道院，以及拉利貝拉（Lalibela）的非洲耶路撒冷的巖石教堂。在埃塞俄比亞還有9個國家公園，其中兩座公園包括塞米恩山（Simien）和貝爾山（Bale）山群，其他的則坐落在東非大裂谷接近肯尼亞。一望無際的土地就是這些公園吸引游客的地方，這里有很多被保護的動物物種，其中有些動物是這個地區(qū)特有的。埃塞俄比亞靠近赤道，它棲息地的各種各樣使得這個國家成為南非野生鳥類最多的國家之一。 當然，歷史和文化還不是這個地方最引人注意的唯一事物，還有這里人們根深蒂固的獨特的傳統(tǒng)文化。這里科普特教會的宗教信仰，這里本地的人群，Hamer、Mursi、Caro以及其他一些，他們的生活方式是我們所無法想象的，離現(xiàn)代生活太遙遠了。
