神秘的威尼斯

 　Venice, which is considered one of the world's most beautiful cities, was founded by refugees fleeing from barbarian invaders in the 5th century A.D.

　　The refugees chose well. Venetians called their city the Bride of the Adriatic and proudly spoke of being wedded to the sea, for it was the sea that brought them wealth. With its strategic location at the crossroads of east - west trade, Venice grew into a great maritime power.

　　威尼斯被认为是世界上最美丽的城市之一。她是5世纪时，由逃避野蛮入侵者的难民所创建的。

　　这些难民选对了地方。威尼斯人称他们的城市为亚得里亚海的新娘，并自豪地宣称她与海洋联姻，因为海洋给他们带来了财富。由于地处东西贸易重要的十字路口，威尼斯拥有强大的海洋优势。
