Exercise 10

Going Through Old Dreams(Continued)
1Italy was my favorite country in Europe. Built up with stone, it had stone palaces, stone churches, stone arenas, stone statues and stone roads dotted with(到处可见) fountains on either side.
意大利是我最喜欢的一个欧洲国家。它是用石头建造起来的：石头的宫殿、教堂，石头的斗兽场，石头的雕像，石头的道路，路边也常有喷泉.
Rome was located on seven hills with 500 churches, big and small, and I visited nearly all of them.
罗马是建在七山之上的城市，拥有大小５００座教堂，我几乎都去过了.

The biggest ones were St. Peter’s, St Maria’s, St. John’s and St. Paul’s. Not far from St. Peter’s was the Vatican, the palace of the Pope in Rome, constituting a country within a country. I went there to have a look. All I remember now is the guards at the entrance were Swiss soldiers in yellow uniform.
最大的是圣彼得、圣玛利亚、圣约翰和圣保罗。梵蒂冈就是在圣彼得教堂附近，是罗马教皇的宫殿，这是一个“国中之国”！我进去看了，只记得门警是瑞士兵士，穿着黄色制服，别的没有印象了
What remains of Florence in my memory is, apart from the sculptures and murals in the art galleries, the lamps on the walls of the mansions, with an iron ring under each of them, for tying horses at parties and banquets. It was just unique.
佛罗伦萨给我留下的，除了美术馆里的雕像和壁画之外，还有一座座府第墙壁上的灯座，每座灯下都有一只拴马的铁环，是聚会或宴客时拴马用的，十分别致！
