悠閑宜人的北國風(fēng)情--挪威首都奧斯陸

《商務(wù)旅行家》艾德里安·菲尼根
Now it's hard to manage your expenses whenyou're on the road. It's even harder when you're in the world's most expensivecity, but don't let that put you off going out and exploring Oslo.
在旅途中實(shí)在很難控制自己的花費(fèi)，來到世界上最昂貴的城市更是如此。不過，可別因此就不出門探索奧斯陸。
As well as public transport, my Oslo Passgives me free access to museums and art galleries, and of course, the parks arefree too, so there's plenty to see and do in Oslo from sunrise to sunset.
我的奧斯陸通行票不但能夠用來乘坐大眾交通工具，也能參觀博物館與美術(shù)館。當(dāng)然，去公園也是免費(fèi)的。所以，在奧斯陸從早到晚都有許多可看可玩的東西。
In summer, the Norwegian skies shine blueeven at 9:00 in the evening. This means that even if you have just one day inOslo, you can still fit a lot in.
夏天，挪威的天空直到晚上9點(diǎn)都還是一片湛藍(lán)。這表示你在奧斯陸就算只待一天，也還是可以安排許多活動。
Here at Vigeland Park, there are more than200 sculptures to admire, all designed and modeled by Gustav Vigeland, afterwhom the park is named. The park is located just two kilometers from the citycenter, and Tram 12 took me here in just five minutes.
維格蘭公園共有200多座雕塑可以欣賞，全都由古斯塔夫·維格蘭設(shè)計(jì)并塑造，而這座公園就是以他為名。這座公園距離市中心只有2000米，我乘坐口號電車只花五分鐘即可抵達(dá)。
We all know dealing with time differencesand long-haul flights when traveling for business is no walk in the park. So,why not take a break between meetings and soak up some rays to combat thetiredness and jet lag?
我們都知道在商務(wù)旅行的時候，應(yīng)付時差和長途飛行絕對不像在公園里散步這樣輕松愉快。既然如此，何不在會議之間的空當(dāng)偷個閑，吸收一點(diǎn)陽光，抵御疲勞與時差呢?
New York has its South Street Seaport, SanFrancisco its Fisherman's Wharf and Oslo has Aker Brygge. The waterfront alongthe harbor is teeming with activity 24 hours a day, particularly in the summer.It forms the center of community life.
紐約有南街海港，舊金山有漁人碼頭，奧斯陸則有阿克爾碼頭。海港岸邊24小時都熱鬧不休，夏天尤其如此。這是社群生活的中心。
Norway is famous for its fjords, and youdon't have to travel far to see one. You can take a boat from the harbor, andin less than an hour you'll be sailing down the Oslo Fjord. Do what theNorwegians do and cruise down the fjord on a traditional wooden sailing ship.And who said there's no such thing as a free lunch? Well, with my Oslo Pass,the trip and the lunch are included. The two-hour cruise leaves three times aday from the harbor, at 10:30, 1:00 and 3:30 p.m., and the views don'tdisappoint. There were so many opportunities for a photograph, I wasn't surewhere to point my camera.
挪威以峽灣聞名，而且不用長途跋涉就能欣賞到。你可以從港口搭船，不到一個小時即可航行于奧斯陸峽灣之間。模仿挪威人的做法，乘坐傳統(tǒng)木制帆船航行于峽灣之間。誰說世界上沒有免費(fèi)的午餐?我只要持奧斯陸通行票，就可以免費(fèi)乘船，也可以免費(fèi)享用午餐。這趟歷時兩個小時的航程每天共有三班，船只分別于十點(diǎn)半、下午一點(diǎn)以及三點(diǎn)半出港，而且景色絕對不會讓你失望。值得拍照的景色實(shí)在太多，讓我不確定該把鏡頭對準(zhǔn)哪里才好。
As we approach the harbor, I'm told byfellow passengers that one of the best places to watch the sun go down is arestaurant appropriately named Solsiden, meaning the sunny side. Open only inthe summer for four months, it's an ideal spot for dinner, be it for businessor pleasure. Now, I know what you're thinking: For a program about business ona budget, that place looks pretty smart. And you'd be right, but there's a lotof business going on here at this restaurant tonight, and after working so hardto come in under budget on our trip to Oslo, well, I thought we deserved atreat. And besides, the sunset costs nothing.
我們接近港口的時候，同船的旅客告訴我說，有一家餐廳是觀賞日落的絕佳地點(diǎn)。這家餐廳的名字取得很恰當(dāng)，叫做"索爾斯登"意為面向太陽。這家餐廳每年只有在夏季時開張四個月，是理想的晚餐去處，不論為公為私都很合適。我知道你現(xiàn)在心里一定想著:這個節(jié)目介紹的是花費(fèi)低廉的商務(wù)旅行，可是這家餐廳看起來未免太有格調(diào)了點(diǎn)。你想得沒錯，可是今天晚上有許多人在這家餐廳里談生意。而且，我們費(fèi)盡心思把來到奧斯陸的旅費(fèi)控制在預(yù)算之內(nèi)，所以我認(rèn)為我們值得自我精賞一番。況且，日落的美景又是免費(fèi)的。
