初到西班牙,你会发现按点儿吃饭简直成为不可能完成的任务。早上9点,很多西班牙人才慢吞吞地喝着咖啡吃早餐。中午12点你想吃午饭?对不起,餐厅还没开始供应,而午夜时分,各家餐馆中的人群反而熙熙攘攘。而这么奇葩的用餐时间竟然都是时区惹的祸。
It is 10pm in the Madrid neighbourhood of La Latina, one of the city’s oldest areas, and the cobbled streets thrum with the sounds of people enjoying plates of gambas al ajillo and cocido Madrileño. Restaurants are bustling at an hour when, in most other countries, chefs would be hanging up their aprons for the night.
晚上10点,在马德里最古老的地段拉拉提纳,圆石铺就的街道上仍然人声鼎沸,人们品尝着蒜味虾和马德里烩菜。虽然这个时间点,大多数其他国家的餐厅已经打烊了,但这里的餐厅仍然人潮涌动。
While travellers might attribute Spain’s late mealtimes to the country’s laidback Mediterranean attitude, the real reason is a little more peculiar. Spaniards are living in the wrong time zone, and have been for more than 70 years.
尽管游客们可能会认为西班牙晚餐时间晚,是因为这个国家地中海式的闲适生活态度,但真正的原因有些奇怪。70多年以来,西班牙人一直生活在错误的时区里。
Glance at a map and you’ll realise that Spain – sitting, as it does, along the same longitude as the UK, Portugal and Morocco – should be in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). But Spain goes by Central European Time (CET), putting it in sync with the Serbian capital Belgrade, more than 2,500km east of Madrid.
