Travel in June--Monaco 六月之旅——摩纳哥

On the way to Monaco we stopped at this viewpoint from where you have such a nice view on Cap Ferrat, just to take a couple more pictures.

在前往摩纳哥的途中，我们停在这个观景台上欣赏费拉角，在那里拍了几张相片。

The first place we visited in Monaco was the botanical garden, not least because it is also offering some nice views down on Monaco!

我们在摩纳哥参观的第一个地方是植物园，还因为在那里可以俯瞰摩纳哥的美景。

On this picture you can see nearly half of Monaco. Yes, it is that small!

从相片上可以看到大半个摩纳哥。是的，这个国家就是那么小！

On the left is La Condamine with the big old harbour, in the middle Monaco Ville with the palace and on the right is Fontvieille with the small new harbour.

左边是拥有古老而又庞大海港的康达明，中间是王宫所在地的摩纳哥维尔以及右边的是名叫芳薇耶的新兴小港口。

The botanical garden had many different plants and trees, especially cactuses.

植物园里有许多各种植物，尤其是仙人掌居多。

The second place we visited was Monaco Ville with the palace.

我们参观的第二个地方是王宫的所在地摩纳哥维尔。

Here we are at the palace's park.

我们来到王宫的公园里。

From the park we also got some views on Fontvieille, a newly constructed area reclaimed from the sea.

在公园里，我们还欣赏到芳薇耶的部分景观，填海后建造的新兴建筑区。

This building is the court of Monaco Ville, I think.

我想这座建筑物应该是摩纳哥维尔的宫庭。

We entered Monaco cathedral, which was very beautiful, seemed almost new, from outside and inside.

我们进入摩纳哥大教堂，非常漂亮，里里外外看上去还很新。

This is the palace square.

From there you also have a great view on La Condamine, the big harbour and Monte Carlo.

从那里可以看到康达明、大海港和蒙特卡洛的美景。

Thereafter we went to Monte Carlo, to see the famous Casino.

然后我们前往蒙特卡洛，去参观著名的赌场。

Here we are in the Casino Park, which was very beautiful.

这里是赌场公园，非常漂亮。

But the Casino itself was even better!

但赌场本身更加漂亮！

Lovely Park & Casino.

可爱的公园和赌场。

Believe it or not, in no other park of the world more people committed suicide than here.

信不信由你，世界上没有一个公园里的人们自杀率会超过这里。

Actually the reason for this is quite simple: Some people lost all their wealth at the Casino, and some of them committed suicide thereafter.

其实原因很简单：一些人在赌场里失去了所有的一切，然后就在这里自杀。

At least they died at a beautiful place.

至少他们死在这个美丽的公园里。

It was packed full of slot machines, but unfortunately it was not allowed to take pictures inside so we immediately left again.

这里摆放许多老虎机，不过遗憾的是那里面禁止拍照，所以我们很快就离开了。

There are always some expensive cars parking in front.

门口也停靠了许多名贵轿车。

Monaco is also the home of a very famous Formula One Grand Prix, though its streets are rather narrow.

摩纳哥也是非常著名的国际方程式汽车大奖赛的发源地，尽管那里的街道非常的狭窄。

We got hungry and it was already evening, so we went for dinner.

天黑了，我们也肚子饿了，于是前去吃晚餐。

The prices were quite ok, at least not more expensive than in other parts of the Côte d'Azur.

菜单价格还算可以，至少比蓝色海岸其他地方的餐馆便宜。

While waiting for our food we took some pictures of our daughter who is always so cute.

在等上菜的同时，我们给女儿拍了些相片，她看上去总是那么的可爱。

Thereafter we walked back along the harbour to our car which was parked near the casino.

餐后，我们沿着港口散步回去停车场，我们把车停在赌场附近。

So we could also get some impressions of Monaco at night.

所以我们可以一路领略摩纳哥的迷人夜景。

This is Hotel de Paris, the most expensive hotel in Monte Carlo, right next to the Casino.

这是蒙特卡洛最昂贵的巴黎大饭店，正好紧挨着赌场。

The Casino at night - very beautiful!
