让他写出了传世名著《悲惨世界》
to write his famous book Les Miserables.
花♥园♥里安妮种下了最后一棵幼苗
In the gardens, Anne plants the last of the seedlings.
再过几个星期这些沉睡的废墟
In just a few weeks, these sleepy ruins
将再次展露出色彩和香气任游客感受
will explode with colors and perfumes again for visitors to enjoy.
我一直对这个修道院印象深刻
The abbey always impresses me.
它每个季节每天都在变化所以它总有新体验或新发现
It changes every season, every day, so it's always a renewal or rediscovery.
而且这里景色绝美
让人永远不会感到厌倦
And it's such a beautiful sight that you never get tired of it.
气温渐降
As colder temperatures set in,
比利时南部多山的森林
覆盖着一层白色的积雪
Belgium's hilly southern forests see a white blanket of snow.
在城里
冬日来临意味着要庆祝圣诞节了
And in the towns the onset of winter is the signal for Christmas celebrations.
比利时的中世纪建筑风格
就像是专门为圣诞量身定制的
With its medieval architecture, Belgium is tailor-made
简直和童话故事里的一样
for Christmas markets straight out of a fairy tale.
有一个城市
可能是所有城市中节日气氛最浓的
And one city is perhaps the most festive of all.
比利时西北部
In Belgium's north west
有一座历史名城布鲁日
lies the historic city of Bruges.
布鲁日
它位于内陆
It's situated inland,
但是能够通过12公里长的
笔直的博杜安水道
but is connected to the coastline via the perfectly straight 12 kilometer
与海岸线连通
Boudewijn waterway.
穿过云层
Pushing through the clouds
可以看到它的蛋形历史中心
reveals its egg shaped historic center
几乎完全被环形运河所包围
almost entirely surrounded by a ring road of canals.
如今它以北方的威尼斯著称
Today, it's known as the Venice of the north.
这些内运河
These inner canals
曾经是布鲁日古代防御工事的一部分
were once part of Bruges old ramparts
欣赏这座城市与水的联♥系♥
and one of the best ways to appreciate
及其中世纪历史的最佳方式之一
就是坐船游览
the city's connection to water and its medieval past is by boat.
莱斯利·梅斯队长的工作
就是确保这座城市的古老动脉
It's Captain Leslie Maes's job to make sure the city's ancient arteries
不被垃圾和堵塞物阻塞
are clear of rubbish and blockages.
在圣诞节期间这一点尤为重要
This is particularly important at Christmas when tourists descend
因为游客们会在深夜购物
然后扔垃圾到水道里
on the city's waterways for late night shopping.
对我们已经从河里取出很多东西了
Oh yes, we've taken a lot of things out of the water already.
莱斯利·梅斯
运河船队队长
没错洗衣机微波炉甚至单车
Yeah, a washing machine, a microwave, even bicycles.
每年我们都会从河里捞出四五辆单车
Every year we take about four or five bikes out of the water.
今天日落前在圣诞购物者到达之前莱斯利船长还有四个小时
Today, Captain Leslie
has four hours before sunset to clear the innermost canal
去清理最里面的运河
before the Christmas shoppers arrive.
队长的路线会经过市民小屋
The Captain's route takes him past the Burgher's Lodge.
布鲁日的贸易在14世纪达到了顶峰
Here, Bruges' trade reached its zenith in the 14th century
当时与酿酒和纺织品有关的商品
可以通过新建的运河
when goods linked to brewing and textiles could be transported far and wide
运输到很远很远的地方
by the newly built canals.
接下来他会经过玫瑰码头
Next, he navigates through the Quay of the Rosary.
中世纪时期
In the middle ages,
这是一个用来交易珍贵商品
也就是盐的停泊站
this was a mooring station for trading the prized commodity of salt.
盐非常重要
It was vitally important
因为要用盐来保存食物
because it was used to preserve food.
船长现在要通过
这段航程中最窄的一段了
The Captain now has to tackle
也就是波尼法修斯桥
the narrowest section of his route, the Bonifacius Bridge.
不过周边最高的还是圣母大教堂
But it's the church of our lady that dominates the surroundings,
高达122米
rising to 122 meters,
是这座城市的最高点
making it the highest point in the city.
夜幕降临这座城市闪耀着数以百计的圣诞彩灯
As night descends, the city sparkles to life with hundreds of Christmas lights.
像玫瑰岛码头这样的地方
就像童话故事里一样闪闪发光
And places like the Quay of the Rosary light up as if in a fairy tale.
莱斯利船长进行了最后一次检查
确保运河是干干净净的
Captain Leslie makes one final check that the canal is spotless,
正好赶上冬日的光辉节把艺术作品
just in time for the winter glow festival
投射到运河两侧的建筑物上
to project artworks onto the canal side buildings.
当工作完成后
莱斯利终于可以放松下来
Once his job is finished, Leslie can finally relax
和他女儿在圣诞市场喝上一杯
and enjoy a drink with his daughter in the city's Christmas market.
在黑暗中看着很不错
It's lovely in the dark.
要我说布鲁日不是很漂亮吗?
I say isn't Bruges just beautiful?
我真的很喜欢我的工作
I just love my job.
时间就这么一晃而过了
Time flies by.
在这个沿海小国里历史和传统
In this small coastal country, history and tradition
与日新月异的创造力相碰撞
meets dynamic ingenuity to create a nation
创造出一个克服了险峻环境的国家
that has overcome its demanding landscape.
从欧洲的政♥治♥中心到农村社区
From the political center of Europe to its rural communities,
比利时的人♥民♥团结在一起创造了我们今天看到的这个让人骄傲的国家
the citizens of Belgium come together to create the proud nation we see today.
