想聽故事嗎? 就追隨安徒生一起到丹麥的哥本哈根吧。 哥本哈根就是一個(gè)美麗的傳說,一個(gè)美麗的幻想,一個(gè)令人陶醉而又神往的故事。

Are you too old for fairy tales? If you think so, Copenhagen is sure tochange your mind.
See the city first from the water. In the harbor sits Denmark'sbest-knownlandmark: the Little Mermaid. Remember her? She left the world of the Sea Peoplein search ofa human soul in one of Hans Christian Andersen's fantasies.
From the harbor you can get a feel for the attractive “city of green spires(尖頂)”. At twilight (黃昏) or in cloudy weather, the coppercovered spires of old castles and churches lend the city adream-likeatmosphere. You'll think you've stepped into a watercolor painting.
Copenhagen is a city on a human scale.You don't have to hurry to walk the city's center in less than an hour. Exploring it will take much longer. But that's easy. Copenhagen was the first city to declare a street for pedestrians only. The city has less traffic noise and pollution than any other European capital.
Stroll (散步) away from the harbor along the riverbanks, you'll see the modest Amalienborg Palace first. Completed in the mid-18th century, it still houses the royal family.
Churches and castles are almost all that remain of the original city. Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in 1445.During the late 16th century, trade grew, and so did the city.But fires in 1728 and 1795 destroyed the old wooden structures. Much of what we see todaydates fromthe 19th and early 20th centuries.
See one of the spires up close—really close—at the 17th-century Church of Our Saviour. Brave souls may climb the 150 stairs winding outside the spire to its top. If you're afraid of heights, or if it's a windy day, you can forget the climb. But then you'll miss the magnificent(壯觀的) view.
What is the most attractive about Copenhagen in your eyes? If you are a guide to Copenhagen,how will you introduce the city to your tourists?

哥本哈根小百科
哥本哈根(丹麥語:K?benhavn;英語:Copenhagen),是丹麥王國的首都、最大城市及最大港口,也是北歐最大的城市,同時(shí)也是丹麥政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化和交通中心,世界著名的國際大都市。哥本哈根曾被聯(lián)合國人居署選為“全球最宜居的城市”,并給予“最佳設(shè)計(jì)城市”的評(píng)價(jià)。哥本哈根也是全世界最幸福的城市之一。丹麥全國重要的食品、造船、機(jī)械、電子等工業(yè)大多集中在這里,世界上許多重要的國際會(huì)議都在此召開。
哥本哈根市容美觀整潔,市內(nèi)新興的大工業(yè)企業(yè)和中世紀(jì)古老的建筑物交相輝映,使它既是現(xiàn)代化的都市,又具有古色古香的特色,是世界上著名的歷史文化名城。 丹麥標(biāo)志美人魚雕像在海邊靜靜沉思,充滿童話氣質(zhì)的古堡與皇宮比鄰坐落在這個(gè)城市中,古老與神奇、藝術(shù)與現(xiàn)代在這個(gè)城市融合。
美不勝收的哥本哈根
你是否已經(jīng)不想聽童話了?如果你是這么認(rèn)為的話,哥本哈根一定能夠改變你的想法。
要看這座城市, 先從水看起。 丹麥最有名的標(biāo)志性建筑——小美人魚,就坐落在港口處。 記得她嗎? 在安徒生的一個(gè)童話里,她離開了海底世界,想變成一個(gè)真正的人。
從這個(gè)港口你可以領(lǐng)略到這座迷人的“綠色塔尖之城”的魅力。黃昏時(shí)分或天氣陰霾的時(shí)候,古堡和教堂的鍍銅塔尖給這個(gè)城市蒙上了夢(mèng)一般的氣氛。 你會(huì)以為自己步入了一幅水彩畫中。
哥本哈根是一個(gè)很人性化的城市。 你匆匆地將市中心走完不需一小時(shí)。 考察這個(gè)城市要花上更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間,但那也是件很輕松的事。 哥本哈根是第一個(gè)劃出步行街的城市。 比起歐洲其他國家的首都,這個(gè)城市的交通噪音和污染少了許多。
從港口沿著河岸漫步,最先映入眼簾的是風(fēng)格樸實(shí)的阿美琳堡王宮。 阿美琳堡王宮于18世紀(jì)中期完工,王室家族至今居住于此。
教堂與城堡大概是古城遺留下來的唯一的東西。哥本哈根于1445年成為丹麥的首都。16世紀(jì)末,貿(mào)易發(fā)展帶動(dòng)了城市的發(fā)展。 但是,城中的舊式木建筑在1728年和1795年的兩場(chǎng)大火中毀于一旦。 今天我們所看到的大部分建筑都是在19世紀(jì)和20世紀(jì)初建造的。
仔細(xì)看其中一個(gè)塔尖,真正靠近看這座建于17世紀(jì)的救世主教堂。 勇敢的人可能會(huì)爬上那在尖塔外蜿蜒而上直通塔頂?shù)?50層階梯。如果你有恐高癥,或者當(dāng)天風(fēng)很大,那就免了吧。不過,你會(huì)因此錯(cuò)過那壯觀的景色。
