斯洛伐克／Slovakia

＊布拉迪斯拉发／Bratislava
如果说到目前为此有什么城市是我不喜欢的，那应该就是斯洛伐克的首都—布拉迪斯拉发了，因为这里真的没有什么好看的。
If I have to pick a place that I didn’t like so far, then it has got to be Bratislava, the capital city of Slovakia. In simple terms, there is really nothing to see here.

城堡并没有什么特别，去的时候更是在装修，里头到底怎样完全不知道。想从外头拍张照片，却只看到四处都是施工架。
The citadel was nothing to crow about. As the citadel was undergoing renovation works when I was there and was not opened for visitation, I had no idea if the inside was more impressive than the outside. Then I tried taking a nice picture of the whole castle, only to find that three quarters of the outside is covered by scaffolding.
再来，想从山上拍下全城的风景，可是整个城市笼罩在一片浓雾下，什么都看不见。看得较清楚的地方又看不到有什么特别之处。
I tried to see if I can do the place some justice by getting a nice overview picture of the whole city from the top of the hill of the citadel, only to find the whole city shrouded in a cloud of fog. Although there are some small parts where you can get a clearer view of the city, but the view is nothing special.
到岸边走走，看不到清澈的河水，也没有漂亮的岸线，更没有任何咖啡座等东西可以吸引人。
Taking a walk along the river, you will not find crystal clear waters nor will you see usual beautiful shoreline lined with cafes or restaurants.
古镇内虽然是有些旧建筑，但老实说，看过了那么多有味道的古镇或古城后，布拉迪斯拉发的这些旧建筑真的不算什么。
The Old Town does indeed have some old buildings and staring at these “oldies”, you do get a vague feeling of “old”. But compared to those I’d seen in Prague, these buildings are really nothing special. 不过必须承认，再无聊的地方也会有一点小东西让人感到有趣。喏，就是这些散布在古镇四处的铜像。
I must admit though, however boring a city or town may be, there is bound to be a small, wee bit that is interesting about it. In this case, it is these interesting statues that you will find littering the streets of the Old Town.
