【June Nights (Nuits de juin)】

Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

    In summer, when the day has fled, the plain covered with flowers

    Pours out far away an intoxicating scent;

    Eyes shut, ears half open to noises,

    We only half sleep in a transparent slumber.

    The stars are purer, the shade seems pleasanter;

    A hazy half-day colors the eternal dome;

    And the sweet pale dawn awaiting its hour

    Seems to wander all night at the bottom of the sky.

【《六月之夜》】

(法国)胜利者·雨果“哲人”(1802生—1885卒)

【红霞译】

            当夏日的白昼逝去，鲜花烂漫的平原

            远远地散发醉人的香气；

            闭上眼睛，把喧嚣当耳旁风，

            清梦里我们只不过半睡半醒。

            星光愈发皎洁，夜色就越妩媚；

            穹宇披上朦胧的色彩；

            柔和而苍白的黎明，等待着它的时刻，

            看似在天际线下徘徊了一宿。

【注】以前早有听闻，波尔多“水边”既是法国葡萄酒首府，又是世界著名葡萄酒产区的中心，如今亲临现场我才对其2,000多年的悠久文化有所了解。历史上，启蒙时代(Age of Enlightenment)将物质空间布局带入城市开发模式，让这座名城在规划和建筑方面保持了统一性及连贯性，并顺应了17世纪古典主义导向18世纪新古典主义；现实中，这种表现风格在过去两个多世纪繁荣发展史上从未间断，理性的城市形态归功于哲学家们的睿智思维，引领葡萄酒市场新潮流的波尔多顺时而变成人文性、普遍性和文化性的大熔炉。除巴黎以外，波尔多还是法国建筑古迹最多的城市。

2007年波尔多被联合国教科文组织列入《世界遗产名录》。
