海外风情系列：Spotlight on Stockholm 斯德哥尔摩特写

Also on the Baltic side of the city, the Wasa Museum, the home of the flagship Wasa, stands near the water's edge. Once the pride of the Swedish navy, the ship sank on its maiden voyage. Now restored, it is a perfect example of a 17th-century seagoing vessel. The thousands of everyday objects recovered with the ship give a fascinating picture of daily life in Sweden 300 years ago.

在市区靠波罗的海沿岸的这边，还有瓦萨博物馆--也就是瓦萨旗舰的所在地。它耸立在岸边，曾经是瑞典海军的骄傲，却在首航时便沉没了。如今被修复的是十七世纪远洋舰艇的绝佳范本，船中放满了数千件的日常用品，为三百年前瑞典的日常生活勾勒出吸引人的图像。

After a boat tour of the city, the next step should be a trip to some of the 24,000 islands in the beautiful Stockholm archipelago. Some are just rocks; others are green with forests. Many have small villages and country homes. Everyone is welcome to fish, swim and camp.

在搭船参观了此城之后，下一步应该去看看斯德哥尔摩群岛2400个岛中的一些岛了。其中有些纯粹是礁石的岛，有些则布满了绿色的森林，其中很多岛上有小村庄和村舍，它欢迎着大家去钓魚、游泳、和露营。

As the "Venice of the North," Stockholm takes water seriously. Every August, the city goes all out for the Stockholm Water Festival. The festival sports events and other activities go on 24 hours a day: swimming championships, marathons, music, art and dancing. In the evenings, fireworks light up the sky. The King awards the Stockholm Water Prize for the most outstanding contribution to water conservation. By preserving its precious natural resource, Stockholm has become one of the most pristine cities in the world. It has every reason to celebrate.
