Gaudí is Gaudy and I Love Him For it!
高迪就是夸張，但那也正是我欣賞他的地方！
I didn't have much time in Barcelona, but I knew I needed to soak up as much of Gaudí's architecture as I could while there.
我在巴塞羅那的時間并不多，但是我知道我應(yīng)該利用我在的時間盡可能多的了解高迪的建筑。
In order to get the most out of his bizarre masterpieces, I decided to take Discover Walk's FREE Gaudí Tour. Meeting outside the Casa Batlló, I was blown away by its appearance.The tour didn't just focus on Gaudí, our guide BL, a native to Barcelona, did a fantastic job explaining the history behind many of buildings we saw and also the culture of Barcelona.
為了更好的了解他那些天才般的杰作，我決定踏上發(fā)現(xiàn)高迪免費(fèi)觀光之旅。在巴特洛公寓外面的集合時看到它的外形便令我震驚。這次觀光的焦點并不集中在高迪，我們的導(dǎo)游BL，一個當(dāng)?shù)厝耍芎玫臑槲覀冎v解了許多建筑背后的歷史以及巴塞羅那的文化。
Casa Batlló used to be a plain house, but once the owner realized they were richer than their chocolate-making neighbor, they hired Gaudí to add a floor so that their house would be taller.
巴特洛公寓曾經(jīng)是一棟普通的房子，但是當(dāng)它的主人意識到自己比制作巧克力的鄰居富有時，主人便決定雇傭高迪為房子增加一層樓梯以便使房子更高。
The problem is, you can only hire Gaudí and let him work– you can't give him directions.So instead of simply making the house taller, he changed the entire façade.
問題是，你可以雇用高迪為你工作，但是你不能讓他按你的指示行事。所以高迪不只把房子加高，他改變了房子的整個外觀。
I mean, can you imagine coming home to your house and seeing this? Especially in the conservative days of the early 1900s. I can't even imagine the reaction of the owner! But hey, at least it's still the tallest house on the street.
我的意思是你能想象自己回到家后發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的房子完全變了模樣嗎？尤其是在那保守的20世紀(jì)早期。我甚至都不能想象房主的反應(yīng)！不過至少這是整條街上最高的房子。
While the other houses on the block all have dragons outside their front doors, Casa Batlló is the only house that does not. Why? Well, Gaudí never explicitly explained his art, it's pretty easy to interpret that the entire house is a dragon.
但是這條街上的其它房子的前門外都裝飾有龍，巴特洛公寓是唯一沒有龍的房子。為什么呢？高迪從來不會明確的解釋他的藝術(shù)，當(dāng)然這也很容易解釋，因為整個房子就是一條龍的形狀。
Whether you think Gaudí was crazy or a genius, you can't deny that his architecture has become the symbol of Barcelona. Love it or hate it, sure Gaudí's architecture might be gaudy, but I absolutely wouldn't have it any other way.
無論你認(rèn)為高迪是瘋子還是天才，你都無法否認(rèn)他的建筑已經(jīng)成為巴塞羅那的象征。喜歡或不喜歡，無疑高迪的建筑風(fēng)格是有些夸張的，但是我絕對不會以任何另外的形式欣賞它了。
