"But if this body contains me
than is it also not so
that as I travel through places
places travel through me
and that sometimes, though I go,
places stay? "
Excerpt from the poem ‘Places Stay’, by Danish author Birgitte Lyregaard
摘自丹麦作家Birgitte Lyregaard诗集 ‘Places Stay’
科尔丘拉岛（Korčula）被称为‘亚德里亚海中的一颗珍珠’，小的时候和现在已经大不一样了/作为一个热门的旅游目的地，每年夏天这里都吸引了成千上万的游客前来游览/这里是我母亲出生的地方，也是我母亲的家族生活了很多个世纪的地方/这里是我儿时玩乐的地方，也是我第一次接受关于文化和环境教育的地方/如果我只能用一句话来描述科尔丘拉岛（Korčula），我会说：夏天里，这里是‘狂欢的天堂’，而冬天里则像是一个‘废弃的剧院’/这个古老的威尼斯城镇有很多特别之处 – 它的存在远早于威尼斯共和国的存在，我们现在看到的它最后的样子却无处不见后者的影子/它的地理位置 – 坐落在一个小型半岛，拂过亚德里亚海的季风，所以这里的夏天总是自然凉爽；它的建筑之美 – 作为堡垒修建，两边的街道纷纷向最高点聚拢形成鱼骨形的建筑外形 – 这是古老而特别的圣马可大教堂/于我，科尔丘拉岛（Korčula）被无与伦比的地中海风格包裹，洋溢着生气，是孕育我的地方，是有着绝无仅有音景的岛屿//
Korčula town, one of the "pearls of Adriatic", was in my childhood quite different place then it is nowadays / Being a popular touristic destination it attracts thousands and thousands of people every summer / It is the birthplace of my mum and a home for that side of my family for many centuries / It was my childhood playground and the place of my first cultural and environmental education / If I would have to describe Korčula in one sentence it would probably go like this: A ‘Dionysian heaven’ in the summers and a ‘ghosts theater’ in the winters / There are so many peculiarities about this old Venetian town – existing long before Venetian Republic but the final look we see today is largely influenced by it / Its position – placed on a tiny peninsula perfectly conducting several Adriatic winds, always being naturally air conditioned; its architectural beauty – being constructed as a fort in the shape of a fish bone with side streets climbing toward the highest spot – a very old and quite unusual St. Marco’s Cathedral / For me Korčula is the radiating living entity wrapped up in incredible Mediterranean nature, the place of my personal growth, and a sonic island like no other //
