How would you like to sip a glass of cold beer while sitting in the shadow of a Chinese pagoda surrounded by English gardens in the middle of a southern German city? It may sound unlikely, but that is what millions of visitors from around the world experience in Munich in late September and early October every year. They come to celebrate Oktoberfest, probably the largest public festival in the world.
在德國南部城市中,坐在為英式花園環(huán)抱的中國式寶塔的蔭涼下,啜飲一杯冰涼的啤酒,這樣的感覺,你有多心動?聽起來也許像天方夜譚,但這就是每年九、十月之交,來自世界各地的百萬游客,群集慕尼黑的親身經歷。他們來慶祝“啤酒節(jié)”──可能是世界上最盛大的公眾節(jié)日。
