Travel in Venice

陳曦蕾

It is a cloudy day. My family and I came to Venice， a famous city in North-eastern Italy. 我們坐在船上，遠遠眺望，整座小城就好像一顆碧波上的璀璨明珠。

Walking on the streets， we found that there were many historic sites（古跡） in the city.

這條大水道是貫通威尼斯全城的最長的街道，游人如織，藝術氣息濃厚。Surprisingly， Venice is the only city in the world without cars.

In the street of Venice， it is full of romantic and artistic atmosphere. 最吸引人的就是各具特色的面具了。I am wearing a beautiful mask.

18世紀以前，威尼斯居民的生活里完全離不開面具。人們外出時，不論男女，都要戴上面具，披上斗篷。The famous masks of Venice are called “Bauta（包塔）”。

We strolled（漫步）to St. Mark’s Square. This building is magnificent. 總督宮是以前威尼斯總督的官邸，室內都用油畫、壁畫和大理石雕刻來裝飾，十分奢華。

St. Mark’s Square is the big pearl of Venice. 游人們衣著鮮艷，仿佛一幅極其迷人的圖畫。看到我手中的食物，大群的鴿子輕盈地向我走來，時而簇擁在地上覓食，時而又“撲棱”振翅，飛滿整個廣場的上空。

乘坐“貢多拉”游覽威尼斯的水上風光是最愜意的事情啦！This kind of boat has a black chic hull（別致的船身）with a light weight. And it is the daily transportation（交通工具）of the Venetians（威尼斯人）。

Venice enjoys the reputation of “Water City”. The whole city is built on the water. 船是威尼斯唯一的交通工具。那蜿蜒曲折的水巷，流動的清波令我陶醉;詩情畫意的風景，讓人流連忘返。
