冰島首都雷克雅未克,冰島語意為“冒煙的城市”。傳說公元9世紀人們來此定居時,遠遠就看到岸上升起裊裊“白煙”,便誤把溫泉里蒸騰的水氣認作煙霧,因此得名。由于地熱能為其工業提供能源,所以人們在這里看不到其它城市常見的鍋爐和煙囪。雷克雅未克天空蔚藍,市容整潔幾乎沒有污染,故有“無煙城市”之稱。
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.
冰島,火與冰之島,是世界上最北的首都——雷克雅未克的所在地。人口才十萬多一點的雷克雅未克,還不是一個大城市。但別被它靜寂的外表騙倒,沉靜的表面下熱血沸騰。
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!
約翰•貝爾(旅游編輯): 人們常拿雷克雅未克跟里丁比較,那令人很難過。這個城市處于冰冷之地、多雪、小而不起眼,喔,而在周五晚則不同了。
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.
