博物馆之夜 A night at the museums
柏林博物馆长夜
随着夏天渐渐消逝，我们开始怀念愉快的假期和多彩的夜生活。别急着回忆，欢乐的时光还没有结束！如果你在柏林，还有很多事情值得期待。比如一年一度的“博物馆长夜”活动，自1997年以来，每年八月的最后一个星期六都会举办，早已成为柏林最受欢迎的活动之一。在这个“长夜”中，博物馆的开放时间从18点直到次日凌晨，你不仅可以穿梭于各个博物馆之间欣赏世界文物，还可以喝酒跳舞，聆听音乐、参加讲座等。今天图片中的博物馆岛于1999年被列入世界文化遗产名录，岛上有柏林老博物馆、柏林新博物馆、国家美术馆、博德博物馆和佩加蒙博物馆。施普雷河环绕整座岛屿，使博物馆岛的气势更加宏伟磅礴。
Museum Night in Berlin
As the summer is fading away, we find ourselves reminiscing about vacations and long hours of lively evenings. But let's not bury the picnic days just yet! There is plenty to look forward to, especially if you are in Berlin. The Long Night of Museums only happens once a year—on the last Saturday of August since 1997—but it shakes up Museum Island and the rest of the German capital. The event series is more than a peaceful appreciation of artifacts—quite the opposite—you can expect music, talks, workshops, cocktails, dance, and more from 6 PM into the small hours of the morning. Featured in today's image, Museum Island—embraced by the Spree River—is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is home to a museum quintet: Altes, Bode, Pergamon, and Neues Museums, and Alte Nationalgalerie.

柏林灯光节
双层Oberbaum大桥是柏林最受欢迎的标志性建筑之一。这座有数百年历史的桥曾经连接了两个被柏林墙分隔开的行政区，1961年至1989年，柏林墙在物理上和思想上分隔了东柏林和西柏林。这里的第一座桥建于18世纪，尽管目前的公路和铁路奥伯巴姆是在19世纪末修建的。
它仍然是统一柏林的重要象征，也是该市一年一度为期一周的灯节的标志性建筑，从今天开始。这一国际艺术节已经举办了18年，随着颜色、图案和图像投射到整个城市的建筑上，柏林的建筑和地标都以巧妙的灯光展示方式进行了改造。在这里，我们看到Oberbaum灯火通明，迎接2020年的节日，这与冷战时期大不相同。近30年来，这座桥一直是东柏林和西柏林之间的过境点。随着检查站的安装和历史塔楼的拆除，它成为了铁路线的终点。但在1990年德国统一后，这座桥被重建，并恢复了昔日的辉煌——这对于一座标志性建筑来说是一个合适的命运，它随着它所服务的城市而改变。
Berlin Festival of Lights
The double-decker Oberbaum Bridge is one of Berlin's most beloved and iconic landmarks. This centuries-old span once connected two boroughs separated by the Berlin Wall, the barrier that physically and ideologically divided East and West Berlin from 1961 to 1989. The first bridge in this spot was built in the 1700s, although the current road-and-rail Oberbaum was constructed at the end of the 19th century.
It remains an important symbol of unified Berlin, and a prominently featured landmark in the city's annual, weeklong Festival of Lights, which begins today. The international festival, now in its 18th year, transforms Berlin's buildings and landmarks with artful displays of light, as colors, patterns, and images are projected onto structures across the city. Here we see the Oberbaum all lit up for the 2020 festival—a far cry from its Cold War days. For nearly 30 years, the bridge served as a border crossing between East and West Berlin. It became the end of the train lines as a checkpoint was installed and the historic towers were demolished. But after German reunification in 1990, the bridge was rebuilt and restored to its former glory—a fitting fate for a landmark that has transformed along with the city it serves.
