布拉格的名气，更胜于它所在的国家捷克
第一座也是唯一一座被列入世界遗产名录的城市
卡夫卡笔端心口的孤寂，昆德拉字里行间的缠绵，竟然都是诞生在这座城市
那它，究竟是什么样子呢？
Prague
布拉格
Nietzsche said:“When I think of a word to express the music, I found the Vienna; When I think of a word to express the mystery, I found the Prague.” Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic and the largest city in the country, the state Bohemia, the Vltava River. The city is located in the center of Europe. It is called one of the world's most beautiful cities. Since 1992 Prague has been included in the list of World Heritage Sites. In particular, Prague is the first whole city was designated as a World Heritage Site.
尼采：“当我想以一个词来表达音乐时，我找到了维也纳；而当我想以一个词来表达神秘时，我只想到了布拉格。”布拉格是捷克共和国的首都和最大的城市，位于该国的中波希米亚州、伏尔塔瓦河流域。该市地处欧洲大陆的中心。它被称作世界上最美的城市之一。从1992年起，布拉格就被列入世界遗产名录中。特别的是，它也是第一个整座都被列入世界遗产的城市。
Prague Spring
布拉格之春
但是布拉格并非一直这样的安宁平静，它也曾经历过动荡和流血，曾经人人自危
Prague fell during the World War II. After the World War II, Soviet army entered Prague and liberated Czech. The Communists took over the Prague regime since then, people became resented under high pressure of the Soviet Communist Party. Prague spring is reform of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in 1968. Its main content are as following: reduce the Communist Party centralize power on major issues; each major position is no longer held by one person, implement a pluralistic political system; strengthen the role of the market in the economic system; Change the country to the Federal Republic of Czech and Slovakia. This reform weakened the control of the Soviet Union, so the Soviet Union captured the Czechoslovakia. Prague spring made people become disappointed at the Soviet Union's 'Lenin - Stalin' model. People realized that there couldn’t exist a pattern of democratic opposition to the Soviet Union for socialism under Soviet control.
二战期间，布拉格沦陷；二战结束，苏联军队进入布拉格，解放了捷克。之后共产党在布拉格建立起政权，但是人民渐渐开始不满苏联共产党的高压政权。于是1968年，捷克的共产党人发起了改革运动，具体内容包括减少共产党大权独揽的状况，重大职务不再由一人担任，加强市场在经济体制中的作用，并将国家改为捷克和斯洛伐克联邦制共和国。这一项改革因为加大了政治民主化，被称为“布拉格之春”。但这样的改革也削弱了苏联共产党对捷克的掌控，于是苏联政府发动军队侵占捷克斯洛伐克。布拉格之春事件导致人们对苏联的“列宁—斯大林”模式的失望，使人们认清了在苏联控制下的社会主义不允许有与苏联认同的民主相左的模式存在。
Old Town Square
布拉格广场
战争岁月虽然不堪回首，但毕竟没有打垮这座城市，一如城中那些美轮美奂的建筑，依然屹立，百年如一
Prague boasts hundreds of architectural landmarks. Spared destruction in World War II, much of Prague’s historical center was declared a World Heritage site in 1992. Heavenly firmament: A baroque ceiling of religious frescoes and elaborate stucco work celebrates the world of religion in the Theological Library at Prague’s Strahov Monastery. A city gem, Prague’s colorful Old Town Square (Staromestske namesti) dates to the 12th century. A busy marketplace in medieval times, the square became the city’s social center.
布拉格是一个充满了古迹的厚重城市。1992年，布拉格老城区市中心，很多从第二次世界大战中幸存的建筑都被宣布为世界遗产.布拉格久负盛名的斯特拉夫修道院的图书馆，巴洛克式的天花板上满是精致的宗教壁画和精细的灰泥雕刻。布拉格之珠——色彩鲜艳的老城广场。这座广场的历史可以追溯到公元12世纪。在中世纪是这里是熙熙攘攘的市场。即使在今日也是一座社交中心。
Charles Bridge
查理大桥
Like apparitions from bygone days, Prague residents stroll across fog-shrouded Charles Bridge, the local landmark that has served the city’s inhabitants since the 14th century. As peaceful and romantic it may seem, the Vtlava (Moldau) River has not always been as calm as it looks today. It’s fury, combined with the power of heavy rains have many times flooded and destroyed the bridges people built over it. Charles Bridge is no exception. It has many times been the victim of floods and natural or human created calamities. Nevertheless, it is still standing and it will remain a symbol of Prague. The bridge is decorated with 30 statues and statuaries, most of them Baroque style.
布拉格的居民穿过雾中的查理大桥时，仿佛行走在幻梦之中。这座当地的标志物始建于14世纪，至今仍在使用。伏尔塔瓦河并不总保持着它看起来的那种静谧梦幻。它愤怒起来，会夹杂着狂风暴雨的力量，一次又一次淹没摧毁人们在上面建起的桥。查理大桥也不能幸免，它曾很多次成为洪水与其他天灾人祸的受害者。然而，它依然屹立着。30座精美雕像点缀在其中，大部分是巴洛克风格。
Golden Lane
黄金巷
You shouldn’t miss the Golden Lane (Zlata Ulicka) in the complex of Prague Castle. Golden Lane got its name from the story of alchymists living in the street during the reign of Rudolf II who tried to make not only the philosopher stone or the elixir of youth, but also to transform metals into gold. Even though these stories are not based on the truth, there is a real story dating to the beginning of the 20th century. One of the local house was inhabited by an old man, who spent all his money on old books Souvenir shop about magic. He made secret experiments in his lab inside the house. In 1831 people in the Golden Lane heard a big detonation from his house. When fire fighters entered the house and distinguished fire, they found Uhle dead with a yellow stone in his hand. Later on the stone was proved to be gold. How the gold got into the house is still not known. Maybe he really made his and many other alchymists’ longtime dream come true. One of the famous inhabitants of this street was famous writer Franz Kafka in house no. 22 or Prague prophetess Madame de Thebes, who was killed by the Gestapo in the war because she foretold the end of Nazism.
黄金巷是布拉格城堡中一定不能错过的一景。传说在鲁道夫二世统治时期，国王想要炼制贤者之石和长生不老药，以及点石成金。那些炼金术士就居住在这条街上那些色彩斑斓的可爱小房子里。黄金巷就由此得名。这个故事并没有真实记录，但是有一个真实的故事可以追溯到二十世纪初。当地一所房子里住着一个老人，他将所有的钱都花在纪念品店的魔法书上。他在房内的实验室里做秘密试验。1831年黄金巷的人们听到他的房子里传来爆炸声。当消防员冲进房子熄灭火灾时，他们发现死去的老人手里握着一块黄色的石头，那块石头后来被证明是金子。这块黄金是如何到了房子里至今仍不得而知。也许他真的达成了自己和其他的炼金术师长久以来的梦想。这条街上一个著名的居住者是弗兰兹·卡夫卡，他曾住在22号，另有一位是布拉格的女先知，因为预言纳粹的结束而在战争中被盖世太保杀害。
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
生命中不能承受之轻
提到卡夫卡，接下来让我们了解那些与布拉格结缘的文学家吧
Kafka, the master of western modernist literature, was born in Prague. He graduated from the University of Prague.The main works are novel 'Trial', 'Castle', 'Metamorphosis'. Most of his works is filled with the image of distortion and methods of intuition, and show isolation because of being surrounded by a hostile social environment.西方现代主义文学大师卡夫卡就是出生于布拉格，他毕业于布拉格大学。他的主要作品有《审判》、《城堡》和《变形记》。其作品大都用变形荒诞的形象和象征直觉的手法,表现被充满敌意的社会环境所包围的孤立、绝望的个人。
Milan Kundera used to live in the Prague, his unique novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being about two women, two men, a dog and their lives in the 1968 Prague Spring period of Czechoslovak history is a philosophical novel about sex and love, and it used to be adapted into a movie. The Unbearable Lightness of Being told stories among several characters, they went through things that seemed light and small, but gained something huge and significant form them and finally sacrificed their lives for faith.
米兰·昆德拉也曾居住在布拉格，他的名作《生命中不可承受之轻》就是以布拉格之春为背景，讲述了两个女人，两个男人和一只狗的故事。这是一部关于灵与肉的哲理小说，它曾被改编成电影。《生命中不可承受之轻》讲了不同人物间交织的故事，他们经历过一些看似很小很轻的事，但却从中懂得了人生的巨大意义，甚至最后，几个主人公都为了信仰而死。
Gallery
随处可见的画廊
As the geographical centre of Europe, Prague doesn’t remain behind even at the category of galleries and art exhibitions. The city of a hundred spires (even if in reality the number is much higher) is a very rich cultural centre and it offers tons of options for any range of art lovers.
There is no specific rule as for where you will find one gallery or the other, nevertheless, most of them are situated in the city centre, so it won’t be difficult to get from one to another. The most interesting short-term galleries are advertised all over Prague, especially in trams, underground stations and public places.
作为欧洲地理中心，布拉格在文化上也并不落后。这座拥有一百座尖塔（实际数目可能更高）的城市，文化丰富，可以满足各类艺术爱好者的需求。不必特别说明要去哪里找一个画廊，但大部分都坐落在城市中心，所以从一个到另一个并不费事。最有趣的短期画廊遍布布拉格，特别是有轨电车、地铁站和公共场所等地区。
Musical Club
音乐俱乐部
Prague, mother of many well known musicians, pulsates wildly with all night and day musical life for many centuries. There are various musical clubs and every club has its own spirit, its own manner and unique decorations.
布拉格也以音乐之都闻名，许多著名的音乐家都诞生于此。多少世纪这里昼夜鸣奏着美妙的旋律。当地有许多音乐俱乐部，每个俱乐部都有自己的精神、习惯和独特的装饰。
Czech Beer
捷克啤酒
Czech beer is perfect. Czechs love beer. They hold a world primacy in drinking it. Beer firstly has a really long tradition here, it tastes well and it is cheap.
Traditional Czech food is not exactly what one would call dietary, however it perfectly goes with the flavourful Czech beer. It mostly consists of pork or beef meat with sauce and a side dish, the most common and liked being dumplings. Dumplings are the Czech traditional side dish made from wheat or potato flour, boiled in water as a roll and then sliced and served hot. Famous are the Czech Pancakes, filled with ice-cream, jam or fruits and coated in whipped-cream, almonds or sugar.
捷克啤酒不能更棒了！当地人喜欢啤酒，他们居世界饮酒首位。当地的啤酒不但历史悠久，而且物美价廉。
传统的捷克食物可能一般不被认为是美食，但其与啤酒结合就异常美味。主要包括猪肉或牛肉酱和配菜，另外最常见的是饺子。饺子是瑞士的传统配菜，由小麦或马铃薯粉制成，在水里煮成卷然后切片趁热食用。瑞士煎饼非常出名，由冰淇淋、果酱或水果填满，并涂上奶油、杏仁或糖。
结语
布拉格仿佛是美的传说，不仅因为它那巍峨林立的建筑，它那婉转醉人的音乐，更因为整座城市浑融悠远的氛围。黄昏时雾气里，月色下水光中，情思缱绻，这样美，只有布拉格。
