Holland is Calling 來自荷蘭的呼喚


  The classic image of Holland is a diverse tapestry1 of tulips, windmills, clogs2, and cheese. Many travelers continue to be impressed by these time-honored staples of Dutch culture. Yet, beneath the tapestry is a sprawling3 region filled with dikes4, bridges, canals5, museums, and bicycles.
  To truly
explore Holland, get a bike. With over 20,000 miles of bike paths and lanes, the best way to take in the sites is on the seat of a bicycle, and the experience only begins there. From Rembrandt to van Gogh and beyond, Hollanders have been on the cutting edge of architecture6, art, and design for the past 400 years. Take a look through any museum or view the Cube Houses in Rotterdam, and you can see that you are in a truly inspired place.
  After all the bike riding, tired travelers are encouraged to
grab a bite of some local Dutch food, which can be anything from smoked sausages to eels7 and to mouthwatering cherry tarts. Amsterdam alone has over 2,000 restaurants to choose from. So don't wait to book your trip to Holland right now.




 

  荷蘭給大家的典型印象就宛如是一幅融合了鬱金香、風車、木屐和乳酪的多樣織錦畫。這些歷久不衰的荷蘭文化特色讓許多遊客驚嘆連連。然而,這幅織錦畫之下是一個雜亂延伸的區域,區域中充滿了河堤、橋樑、運河、博物館以及單車。
  想要真正的來探索荷蘭,就騎上單車吧。荷蘭有二萬多英里單車專用的車道及線道,遊賞景點最好的方式就是坐在單車座位上,而荷蘭之旅就從這裡開始。從林布蘭特(荷蘭畫家)到梵谷等等的藝術家,荷蘭人過去四百年以來,在建築、藝術和設計方面都是走在時代的尖端。去任何一座博物館裡逛一逛,或是去鹿特丹的立體方塊屋參觀一下吧,您會發現這裡實在是一處啟發創意的地方。
  騎完單車後,疲憊的遊客們可以來品嚐一些道地的荷蘭美食,任何的美食從煙燻香腸、鰻魚到令人垂涎三尺的櫻桃塔都可以嚐嚐看。單在阿姆斯特丹就有兩千多間餐廳可供選擇。所以現在就預訂一趟荷蘭之旅吧。

staple 是什麼意思
本文中 "Many travelers continue to be impressed by these time-honored staples of Dutch culture." 中的 staple 指的是『(一國的)主要特色、特產』,除此之外,staple 也可作『釘書針』的意思。另外,另一個拼法相似的字 stale 則表『(麵包、蛋糕)不新鮮的』之意。
例:

I gave John a case of staples because he had run out of them.
(我給約翰一盒釘書針,因為他的釘書針已經用完了。)
Jane threw out the bread because it went stale.
(小珍把麵包丟了,因為麵包已經不新鮮了。)
