14th of July in Paris

Firework on Toue Eiffel...

Yeah!! Time for firework!! I love to watch fireworks so much and I would not miss the any chances of watching it. I watched summer firework in Yokohama last year and of course, I won’t miss the firework here in Paris this year. We went to find a good spot for enjoying the firework around 930 that night. We already could feel the happy and exciting atmosphere from the crowds when we walked off the metro. We thought that we could be able to get a good spot near the Tour Eiffel, however, the crowds were already occupied all the great spots around Tour Eiffel. We walked along the river and found the nice view by the riverbank afterwards. From where we were, we could see the metro/trains passed by Tour Eiffel and also the Tour Eiffel’s reflection in the river. The main roads toward Tour Eiffel were blocked and only pedestrians were allowed to walk through. We saw a lot of French people were sitting in the middle of the roads with wines, foods and games. What a Party!!
哈!哈!看煙火的時間到囉!我一直很喜歡看煙火,而且我不輕易放棄任何可以看煙火的機會.去年,我在橫濱看夏日煙火,今年,我當然更不能錯過巴黎的國慶煙火.Peggy和我在晚上9點30分左右到達艾菲爾鐵塔附近,準備找個好位置來欣賞煙火.我們早在出地鐵站的時候就可以感受到群眾的歡樂和興奮氣氛.我們以為可以在艾菲爾鐵塔附近找個好位置,可是,所有的好位置早就被佔光了.不過,上帝還是眷顧我們的!!我們還是在離艾菲爾鐵塔不遠的河岸邊找到視野不錯的位置.從那裡,我們可以清楚看到地鐵和火車駛過艾菲爾鐵塔和艾菲爾鐵塔在水中的倒影.所有通往艾菲爾鐵塔的道路都被管制了,只有行人可以自由進出.我們看到許多法國人坐在馬路中間,享受他們帶來的食物,酒和遊戲.多開心的Party!!

After waiting for quite a while, finally….we heard some sounds from far away and then we saw the fireworks over the Tour Eiffel. Tour Eiffel is very beautiful at nights; however, it looks much more beautiful and attractive with fireworks to me. Colourful fireworks and blinking lightings dressed the Tour Eiffel much more appealing to crowds. The beauty of firework would not last long and I believe that is why I love enjoying firework so much because you must concentrate on catching it as much as you could. In addition, I would be able to cherish the very moment when the fireworks were displayed. It is just like everything must have the end, however, as long as you ever work hard, ever possess, ever blossom—that is eternity.
就在我們等的有點不耐煩之際,終於…從遠方傳來一些聲音,然後我們看到在艾菲爾鐵塔上方天空的五彩煙火.夜晚的艾菲爾鐵塔很美,很迷人.但是,對我來說,在煙火的襯托下的艾菲爾鐵塔是更漂亮,更吸引人的.美麗的煙火總是短暫的,而我相信那也是為什麼我喜歡看煙火的原因.因為你會因此而努力捉住剎那的絢爛並珍惜每一個煙火綻放的瞬間.就像所有的一切都會有消失的一刻,只要曾經認真,曾經美麗,曾經擁有---就是永恆.
