音乐之都——维也纳Vienna-the City of Music

“音乐是维也纳的灵魂,没有音乐也就没有维也纳。”奥地利的首都维也纳自古以来就与音乐有着不解之缘,诸如莫扎特、贝多芬、舒伯特和海顿等扬名全球的伟大音乐家都曾在此从事音乐事业。

It is a city where legend overrules reality——the Danube River, which flows through Vienna, may not be blue, yet, the“Blue Danube”waltz has permanently painted the waterway the hue in the mind's eye.

传奇的维也纳是一座反现实的城市,流淌在维也纳的多瑙河也许事实上并不是蓝色的,但华尔兹《蓝色多瑙河》却让这条水道永远光彩无限,其美妙的旋律一直回荡在人们的脑海中。
