Istanbul in an Instant 浪漫綺麗異國風 漫遊伊斯坦堡
| Istanbul in an Instant 浪漫綺麗異國風 漫遊伊斯坦堡 英倫翻譯 圖文摘自http://www.appledaily.com.tw/ Turkey is a country that has seen many empires come and go. The influences of these past empires can be seen from the varied architecture of Istanbul. Speaking of this, look no further than the Hagia Sofia. Once a church, then a mosque, it is now a museum. Completed in the year 537, its towers and huge dome make it one of the finest examples of Byzantine architecture anywhere in the world. For a taste of Istanbul as a great center of trade, head to the Grand Bazaar. This is one of the oldest and largest covered markets. No visit to Istanbul would be complete without seeing the Bosphorus River. Take a boat trip, or enjoy some famous Turkish seafood in one of the many restaurants on the riverbank. Don’t forget to try the kabab, a delicious Turkish street food. All this and more awaits in this city of treasure. 土耳其是一個見證許多帝國盛衰興亡的國家。昔日這些帝國的影響力可由伊斯坦堡各式各樣的建築看出。說到這點，只要看看聖索菲亞大教堂就行。聖索菲亞大教堂曾是座教堂，然後轉成清真寺，而今是座博物館。在西元 537 年完工，它的尖塔和巨大的圓頂使它成為世上最傑出的拜占庭式建築典範之一。 想體驗一下做為重要貿易中心的伊斯坦堡，就去大市集逛逛吧。這是最古老、最大的有遮蓋的市場之一。到伊斯坦堡旅行一定也要看一看他們的博斯普魯斯河。坐船遊河或是在河岸邊的眾多餐廳之一大啖一些有名的土耳其海鮮。別忘了嚐嚐烤羊肉串，這是一種美味的土耳其街頭小吃。不僅僅是這些，這座瑰寶之城還有更多更精采的事物等著你去探索呢。 |
