Croatia克罗地亚——地中海的明珠，钢琴王子马克西姆的故乡（上）
克罗地亚位于欧洲中部和东南部交汇处，西临意大利，东临匈牙利、波黑和塞尔维亚，以长长的亚德里亚海岸线著名，1000座地中海气候下的岛屿。 Croatia sits at the crossroads of central and southeast Europe, with Italy to the west and Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia to the east. It's famed for its long Adritic coastline, dotted with around a thousand islands that bask in a Mediterranean climate. 
数世纪以来，克罗地亚的国土见证了一些强大的帝国王朝和他们的争端。 For centuries, mighty empires and conflicts and Diocletian Palace and Split powerful walled cities rose up. 普拉的圆形露天剧场、戴克里仙宫和斯密普斯都是近百年来罗马统治的写照。
It has been conflicts have left their mark on courageous landscape the great time the theatre of gula and dial politions palace and split I reminded as of almost six hundred years of romen。 中世纪后期，有城墙的城市拔地而起，奥托曼帝国争夺这些土地在19世纪。奥西耶克和萨格勒布这两座城市，在奥匈帝国的庇护下日渐繁荣。如今，克罗地亚是个共和国。 Later in the middle ages powerful world cities Rose up as the ultimate and by force for control of these bands and in the 19th century the the cities of Osijek and Zagreb flourished in the welfare embrace of the Ottoman Empire. today Croatia is a modern republic with a thriving economy.
经济繁荣吸引着来自世界各地的游客。时间一点点过去，纯蓝色的亚德里亚海上渐渐多了很多豪华游艇，游客们涌向海滩，享受温暖的阳光。 Economic prosperity attracts tourists from across the world. As the year progresses, the clear blue seas of the Adrictic begin to fill with lavish yachts. And visitors flock to the beaches to soak up the warming sun.
克罗地亚的夏天到了，旅游业是克罗地亚经济重要组成部分，平均有2000多万游客蜂拥而至。他们有去的目的，有首都萨萨格勒布，去看那里的历史、文化和建筑。 As summer comes to Croatia. Tourism forms a vital part of Croatia's economy.over 20 million visitors flock to Croatia in an aveage year. They head to the capital Zagreb, or its history, culture and architecture,
去享受克罗地亚南方的日照，游客们会去25米高的城，护城环城护墙上散步，去探索众多好莱坞童话中剑与龙故事取景堡垒的魅力。 And to Dubrovnik,in Croatia's sun drenched south. They come to walk the 25 meter high defensive walls that encircle the city. And explore the force that have provided many a backdrop for Hollywood tales of swords and dragons.
但很多游客到这里来面临着意想不到的边境的检查。20世纪大多数以来，克罗地亚是南斯拉夫的一部分。 But for many visitors, a trip here involves an unexpected border check. For much of the 20th century,Croatia was part of the former state of Yugoslavia. 1990年南斯拉夫解体，最开始分成了五个新国家和克罗地亚南端，克罗地亚边界正式划分，使得渤海得以出入海洋，但把布罗夫尼克旧城与国家其他部分分开了。 The collapse of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, initially created five new states and a challenge on Croatia's southern tip. An official break in Croatia's border. The break allowed Bosnia and Herzegovina access to the sea. But cut off Dubrovnik from the rest of the country.
多年以来，游客们都不得不穿越边界欣赏传说中的城市，但一向前所未有的项目马上就会对此做出了改变，这就是耗费五亿两千百六百万欧元的佩涅沙茨大桥。
For years, tourists have faced a trip through two border crossings to visit this storied city. But a record breaking project is set to change that. This is the 526million Euro. Prlijesac Bridge. 一旦建成，游客们就可以穿越克罗地亚的两个部分，六座塔将从水中升起，直冲入天空。100米高，165节干甲板横跨宽2200米的水面。由1000多吨钢电缆支撑着按。
When complete, it will allow travelers to move between Croatia's two halves unimpeded. six towers will rise from the waters soaring 100 meters into the sky. 165 steel sections of deck will span the 2.2 kilometer expanse of water. And over a thousand tons of steel cables will support them high above the strait.
古代这片土地经常发生纷争，这点体现在城墙的加强，防射和世界上最奇怪的防御墙之一上。布布罗夫尼克旧城向北50公里处，坐落着中世纪的围墙城市。我们来浏览揭秘斯通的城墙，不止绕城。 And one of the world's strangest defensive words fifty kilometers north To Brothneic sets the medium of world city of stone 。 a birdsi view reviews a mystery stones world don't just surround the boundary of the city 。
还以两条平行线状爬上陡峭的山私通。这座古城并不比村庄大，但这里的城墙特别多，以之字形跨越山脉，有的甚至长达七公里。 they run up a steep hill in two enormous parallel lines the ancient city of Ston is not Bigger than a village yet its walls are vast and zigzagged far across the hills。At one time they stretched over seven kilometers。
14世纪时，斯通受到北方邻国扎克卢米亚公国的威胁。于是，斯通和当时杜布罗夫尼克旧城的领导者决定扩建城墙。范围从黄山的岩盘一直到半岛对岸，一是斯通，免受潜在敌人的威胁。曾经城墙包括整整41座塔和六座巨大的堡垒，都有重兵把守，足以抵抗入侵的军队。
In the 14th century Ston faced a threat from the neighboring Zachlumia principality to the north. so Ston its rulers in Dubrovnik extended the walls from the salt pans over the hill to the opposite bank of the peninsula to protect Ston from a potential graph. At one time the world boasted 41 defensive towels and 6 colorsal fortresses. all fill with enough troops to hold off the invading army。
斯通这场冒险得到了回报，他的城墙向来无坚不摧。 如今，如画般的城镇依旧矗立，在产盐的农场也在运转，每年工人都用双手丰收，4000年来一直如此。 Ston's great gamble paid off and it's mighty well was never breached. Today, the picturesque town remains and the salt farms are still working, harvested each year by hand.harvested each year by hand just they have been for 4000 years
时间一天天过去，夏日夜晚逐渐变短。 As the year drifts on, the long summer evening shorten. 这里，苍翠的青绿色海岸变成暖暖的棕橙色。 The lush green banks of turquoise lakes turn a warm shade of brown and orange .
夏季的树叶飘离了山顶古城。 Ancient hilltop towns are stripped bare of their summer foliage.
绿色的森林变成一抹金色。 And green forests appear flecked with gold.
秋天来到了克罗地亚。
as autumn arrives in Croatia。
