It has been a freezing winter for most part of the Europe. It's obviously not the best time to visit Paris. The airplane arrived Paris airport in the snow without much delay. 译文：
这个冬天，欧洲的大部分地区都处于严寒中。很显然，此时并不是到访巴黎的最好时节。飞机降落在飘雪的巴黎机场，倒是并没有晚点很多。  原文：

It's always nice to see some young visitors visiting the museum. It's important to introduce the sense of beauty to the young minds at the early stage of their lives. I wish that I had the opportunity to learn to appreciate the art when I was at their age.译文：
看到年轻人来参观博物馆总是令人感到欣慰。在孩子们年幼时就培养他们对美的意识，这件事很重要。我真希望自己小时候也可以像这些孩子一样，在他们这个年龄就能够有机会学习艺术的鉴赏。  原文：
If you keep walking along the river, you'll see Museum of D'ORSAY, a smaller but very nice museum with lots of great collections just on the west side of the river bank. This is Michelle's favorite museum which I didn't have time to visit during this trip. If you still have energy by now, continue to walk along the river, you will then see the famous Eiffel tower, the Statue of Liberty etc, etc.译文：
如果你们继续沿河而行，你们会看到奥塞美术馆，一个座落在塞纳河西岸、比卢浮宫小一些的非常好的美术馆，它也拥有众多重要的藏品。这是我女儿Michelle最钟爱的美术馆，但这次我没有时间去参观它。走到这里，如果你们还有精力沿河而行，那么不久你们会看见埃菲尔铁塔，自由女神像，等等等等。  原文：
Another important thing to see along the river are the many well designed, old but very beautiful bridges. Every such bridge on the Seine has an unique interesting story to tell! 译文：
塞纳河上另一个重要景观就是它拥有众多设计考究、颇具历史但非常美丽的桥。每一座这样的桥，都有着一个有趣的故事。 原文：
The tiny river side parks, good quiet place to sit down to relax, just watching the river barge passing by and do nothing.译文：
河边的小公园安安静静的，坐下来，看着驳船慢慢驶过，什么也不做，是个休息一下的好去处。  原文：
In the warmer days, you may also see many passionate lovers enjoy themselves on the riverside benches. I guess that they did spread a lot of romantic flavor in the air for Paris.译文：
如果天气暖和一些，你还会看到很多情侣坐在河边的长椅上享受二人世界。我想一定是他们为巴黎的空气添加了很多浪漫的气息。  原文：
If you have the time and the mood, you may also be able to find a good old book from one of the many riverside used book stands.译文：
如果你们既有时间也有兴致，你们还可以在河边的旧书摊上淘到一本好书。  原文：

这些老照片，也许可以帮助人们寻回一些有关他们旧日美好时光的温暖回忆。  原文：
Under the freezing temperature, you can still see a few people who insist to sit outside in the cold air to enjoy their hot coffee. We have to give them some respect for being so persistence and so passionate about enjoying life in their own way. I guess that it is because many people like them made Paris a city full of passion.译文：
在严寒中，仍然可以看到有人坐在露天咖啡馆里享用他们的热咖啡。这些人如此执着和满怀热情地用他们自己的方式享受生活，这是我们不得不尊敬他们的地方。我想正是因为有着众多这样的人，才使得巴黎成为一个充满激情的城市。  原文：
One more thing I would also like to mention it here about the River of Seine. This small, elegant but inexpensive hotel renovated from an old house is located on an island in the middle of the Seine river. By coincidence, about 20 years ago, I took Mother and Michelle for their first European trip we also stayed in this very same hotel in Paris. Now 20 years have passed, the island and the hotel are still the same. Michelle has also grown up, only Mother is no longer with us. Walking along the river, the picture and the voice of Mother became so vivid in me. I do miss her a lot.译文：
关于塞纳河，在这里我还想提起一件事。这是一个由老房子改装而成，漂亮但是并不算贵的小旅馆，座落在塞纳河中的一个小岛上。很巧的是，大约20年前，我的母亲和女儿Michelle第一次来欧洲时，我也曾带他们住在这里。时至今日，20年过去了，小岛和旅馆依旧，Michelle也已经长大，只有母亲已经不在人世。我沿着河边漫步，母亲的音容笑貌依旧历历在目。我是如此想念她。  原文：
I hope that you all have enjoyed this half day Seine river tour by foot with me. I think Seine is really the soul of this well designed, well built and very important, well maintained great city in the world. I also believe that Seine has been and will continue to be the source of passion and innovation for the people of Paris.译文：
我希望你们很享受与我徒步而行的这次塞纳河半日之旅。我想在巴黎这座设计精良、建筑优美、保留完好的国际大都市中，塞纳河是其真正的灵魂所在。我也相信，塞纳河曾经一直是，将来也会继续是巴黎人民激情和创新的源泉所在。[ 此贴被彭灵华在2012-03-07 20:23重新编辑 ]
