普罗旺斯：激情、浪漫与传统的碰撞
A trip is never complete without tasting some of the local food. In Provence, you will find dishes made with garlic, sweet tomatoes, and olive oil. Provence is also famous all over France for its delicious wine.
旅行时若不尝尝当地的食物，那么行程就不算完整了。在普罗旺斯你会找到用大蒜、甜西红柿和橄榄油调制而成的佳肴，这儿的美酒在法国也很有名。
The people there are well-known for keeping their traditions alive. They hold many celebrations, dances, and festivals. You can even see a bullfight in the towns of Arles and Nimes, or enjoy poetry at Orange's ancient Roman theater with the stars shining above you.
当地居民以维护自己的传统闻名，他们经常举办许多舞会和庆典活动。你甚至可以在名为阿尔勒和尼姆的小镇里观赏斗牛表演，或在奥朗日的古罗马剧场中，伴着闪耀星空聆听诗词诵读。
Although Paris is the usual destination for travelers in France, you would be making a good choice by heading down south to Provence. It is a place well-loved by artists such as Van Gogh, Picasso, and Renoir, and it continues to impress any visitor who experiences its pleasures.
虽然旅客前往法国的目的地通常是巴黎，但如果南下到普罗旺斯也是个不错的选择。这里曾深受梵高、毕加索和雷诺阿等艺术家的喜爱，也一直让前来体验当地乐趣的游客留下深刻的印象。
