Rotterdam, Netherlands

　　鹿特丹，荷兰

　　If Amsterdam is a study in old-world elegance, then the port city of Rotterdam is all big,futuristic ambition—and its constantly unfolding city center has become one eye-poppingexplosion of style. The latest attraction, and reason enough to visit, is the MVRDV-designed Markthal, an igloo-like horseshoe that houses 96 stalls，20 shops, nine restaurants, and 228 apartments. It also happens to feature Holland’s largest artwork.

　　如果说阿姆斯特丹以前是优雅的代名词，那么港口城市鹿特丹则是一座宏伟且颇具未来野心的城市——他不断延伸的中心城区发展之迅速已是让人瞠目结舌之势。而其近来最具吸引力、最值得一看的，则是由著名建筑设计事务所MVRDV设计的Markthal大型拱廊市场，其形状像一个圆顶冰屋，呈马蹄形，里面有96个货摊、20家商店、9家餐厅和228套公寓。这座建筑也是荷兰最大的艺术代表作品.
