    参考译文

    每年都有数千人来到苏格兰首府爱丁堡参加爱丁堡艺术节。在每年八九月份的三周时间里,这座城市随处可见来自世界各地的演员和艺术家。他们来到爱丁堡参加英国最大的艺术节。在这段时间,城市的街道到处都是音乐和舞蹈,这些节目从凌晨一直演到深夜。你甚至能看到艺术家当街绘画。艺术节最精彩的部分之一是“边缘艺术”,你可以看到学生们在小剧场和餐馆里表演滑稽节目。

    成千上万的游客来到艺术节看新电影和话剧,听著名音乐家演奏的音乐。今年,你能看到来自世界40多个国家的演员表演的500多场节目。

    演出的票价很便宜,通常在爱丁堡比在伦敦更容易看到你喜欢的明星。所以,明年夏天来爱丁堡吧,但要记住房间很难找,那么,为什么不现在就订呢?

    (第二次世界大战让欧洲大陆艺术遭受空前浩劫。当时,英国一家歌剧院经理与许多艺术界知名人士群聚伦敦,谈到艺术家在战争期间所面临的困境,兴起在英国本土找一个未受战争破坏的地方办艺术节的念头,期望重新为欧洲艺术家找到一个可以互相交流的舞台。经3年筹划,终于在1947年举办了第一届爱丁堡国际艺术节。当时全欧最负盛名的一些音乐家及维也纳爱乐交响乐团,都在首届艺术节齐聚爱丁堡,可说是办得相当成功。可当时其他小型表演团体,却在来到这座城市之后被拒于表演大堂之外,于是有8家剧院愤而另组一个艺术节,即边缘艺术节(Edinburgh Festival Fringe),50年来,该组织相当争气地由一个被视为锦上添花的角色,跃身节庆要角。)
