There is much more to modern Munich than beer gardens. It is Germany's favorite city, insofar as surveys show a majority of Germans would prefer to live there. Some jokingly call it the only Italian city north of the Alps, a reference to Munich's easygoing spirit that contrasts with the staid impression many foreigners have of Germany.

現(xiàn)代慕尼黑可不只有啤酒園而已。它是德國(guó)一座人們喜愛(ài)的城市，調(diào)查顯示，大多數(shù)德國(guó)人愿意選擇在慕城定居。有些人戲稱她是阿爾卑斯山以北唯一的意大利式城市，意味著慕尼黑隨和親切的氣氛，這和許多外國(guó)人對(duì)德國(guó)嚴(yán)肅持重的印象，形成天壤之別。
