2017-10-30来源:和谐英语

Known for its celebratory street life, excellent tapas scene and the near constant performances of flamenco, there's even more to celebrate in Seville next year.
塞维利亚有欢乐的街头生活、绝妙的餐前小吃、不断上演的弗拉曼柯舞,除了这些,明年塞维利亚还有更多值得庆祝的事情。

Featured in the popular HBO series "Game of Thrones," the Spanish city where medieval architecture competes with modernists will host the 31st annual European Film Awards and continue the celebrations of Baroque Painter Barolomé Esteban Murrillo.
塞维利亚是HBO热门剧《权力的游戏》的取景地,这座西班牙城市有许多中世纪建筑,而且现代主义艺术家还将举行第31届年度欧洲电影奖颁奖礼,并继续举行纪念巴洛克艺术家Barolomé Esteban Murrillo的庆祝活动。

And everyone, visitors and resident alike, benefit. That's why Seville topped Lonely Planet's list of the best cities to visit in 2018.
所有人,无论是游客还是居民,都会从中受益。这就是为什么塞维利亚能够登顶《孤独星球》的2018最佳旅游城市排行榜。

"Seville has been slowly transforming over the past decade," said Lonely Planet's US magazine managing editor Alex Howard. "The city's artistic past and present and a starring role in Game of Thrones has put it on the map, and made it our number one city to visit next year."
《孤独星球》美国版杂志的执行编辑亚历克斯•霍华德说:“过去的十年来,塞维利亚正在经历缓慢的改变。这座城市充满艺术气息的过去和现在,以及在《权游》中的戏份让其登上旅游地图,也使其成为明年最值得一去的城市。”

For the 13th year, Lonely Planet editors gathered nominations from hundreds of contributors around the world and picked 10 cities, regions, countries and value destinations to recommend for its Best in Travel 2018 picks.
这是《孤独星球》的编辑们连续第13年从世界各地数百名供稿者那里收集提名并从中选出最值得一去的10个城市、地区、国家和旅游地。

The list is brimming with exciting events, cities with new museums and sports offerings; spots off the beaten path; and cities that have suffered from human neglect or natural disasters and deserve our attention.
榜单上的城市有激动人心的盛事,有新博物馆和体育比赛,鲜有人涉足的景点,也有被人忽略或遭遇自然灾难、需要我们去关注的城市。

That's why second-place Detroit and the hurricane-ravaged San Juan, in the 8th spot, made in the top 10 cities list.
这是第二名底特律和遭到飓风肆虐的第八名圣胡安能够跻身榜单的原因。

Re-emerging with a vengeance from the collapse of the US auto industry, Detroit is recovering with the contributions of long time believers in the Motor City and younger artists and other creative folks who have poured their sweat into once-abandoned neighborhoods.
在美国汽车产业崩溃后又卷土重来的底特律正在复兴中,那些长年以来一直对汽车城抱有信仰的人、年轻的艺术家和其他富有创造力的人正挥洒汗水重建被抛弃的街区。

With much of Puerto Rico still without clean water or electricity, it might seem too soon to call people back to San Juan.
波多黎各的许多地方仍然没有清洁水和电,现在让人们去圣胡安也许太早了点。

Although Lonely Planet chose the city before Hurricane Maria wiped out much of the US territory's power grid, editors decided to keep it on the list after discussing it with Puerto Rican tourism officials.
尽管《孤独星球》选出这个城市的时候,飓风玛丽亚还没有摧毁美属波多黎各的大部分电网,但是编辑们在和波罗黎各旅游局官员讨论后,决定在榜单上保留圣胡安市。

"San Juan is a vibrant and enduring city, in large part thanks to the people that live there," said Lonely Planet's Central America and Caribbean destination editor Bailey Freeman.
《孤独星球》中美洲和加勒比海旅游区的编辑贝利•弗里曼说:“圣胡安是一个有活力的、经久不衰的城市,这有很大一部分要归功于居住在那里的人们。”

"We have been following the situation on the ground closely since the devastating impact of Hurricane Maria last month, and while relief efforts are currently ongoing, we believe that Puerto Rico's capital will surprise the world with how quickly it gets back on its feet.
“自从飓风玛丽亚上个月在波多黎各造成灾难性后果后,我们一直密切关注现场情况。尽管救援工作目前还在进行,我相信波多黎各的首府圣胡安将用惊人的复原速度震撼世界。”

"The reasons we named San Juan one of the best cities to visit in 2018 are still as strong as ever. Many local businesses and hotels are already reopening, and we're confident that this progress will continue steadily into the new year."
“我们将圣胡安选为2018年最值得一去的城市,理由和以往一样充分。许多当地企业和饭店都已经重新开张,我们相信在新的一年该市的重建工作仍将保持同样的进度。”
