Geneva, across several visits during my exchange: the lake and the Jet d’Eau in summer, the United Nations, a snowy Christmas market, the old town in autumn, and the whole city seen from the Salève.在日内瓦交换期间,几次走过这座城:夏天的湖与大喷泉,联合国,飘雪的圣诞集市,秋日的老城,还有从萨莱夫山上望见的整座城市。

Summer on the Lake夏日湖畔
Lake Geneva · the Jet d’Eau日内瓦湖 · 大喷泉
Blue water you can swim in, sails crowding the marina, and a fountain that throws its own rainbow.可以游泳的蓝色湖水,挤满码头的帆,还有一座会自己抛出彩虹的喷泉。
Clear, placid Leman! thy contrasted lake,With the wild world I dwelt in, is a thingWhich warns me, with its stillness, to forsakeEarth’s troubled waters for a purer spring.
澄澈宁静的莱芒湖!你与我栖身的喧嚣尘世如此不同,你的静谧提醒我:离开世间浑浊的水,去寻一泓更纯净的泉。

Mid-Autumn over Mont Blanc中秋 · 日照金山
September 10, 2022 · the Grand Morillon rooftop2022 年 9 月 10 日 · 大莫里永学生公寓屋顶
Mid-Autumn night, far from home. From the rooftop of Kengo Kuma’s Grand Morillon, the last sun turned Mont Blanc gold, and then the full moon rose over the Alps.离家很远的中秋夜。在隈研吾设计的大莫里永学生公寓屋顶上,先是日照金山,最后一缕阳光把勃朗峰染成金色;然后,满月从阿尔卑斯山上升起。
但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。
May we all live long, and share this moon though a thousand miles apart.

City of Nations万国之城
Place des Nations · UNHCR · CERN万国广场 · 联合国难民署 · 欧洲核子研究中心
A giant chair on a broken leg, standing for everyone wounded or killed by landmines; a long avenue of flags; and a laboratory where the universe is taken apart.一把断了一条腿的巨型椅子,为每一个被地雷伤害或夺走的生命而立;一条长长的旗帜大道;还有一座把宇宙拆开来看的实验室。
“…to promote international co-operation and to achieve international peace and security.”
“促进国际合作,实现国际和平与安全。”
“We the peoples of the United Nations, determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war…”
“我联合国人民,同兹决心,欲免后世再遭战祸……”

Halls of Time and Music时间与音乐的殿堂
Victoria Hall · Patek Philippe Museum · Saint-Pierre维多利亚音乐厅 · 百达翡丽博物馆 · 圣皮埃尔大教堂

“I am by birth a Genevese.”
“我生来是日内瓦人。”

The Salève萨莱夫山
Dad and I went up the Salève, just across the border in France: Mont Blanc on one side, all of Geneva on the other, and paragliders stepping off into the haze.我和爸爸登上边境那头、法国境内的萨莱夫山:一边是勃朗峰,一边是整座日内瓦,滑翔伞一顶接一顶地跃进薄雾里。

和平,用联合国的六种语言写成。
