魁北克冬季嘉年华
在2月大斋节之前，世界各地会举办庆祝活动，其中广为人知的活动大多位于气候温暖的城市，如里约热内卢和新奥尔良，在圣灰星期三（大斋节首日）之前，狂欢者们会穿着精美的服装狂欢。而魁北克冬季嘉年华则截然不同，正如我们今天的照片展示的那样，这里的庆祝活动充满冬日氛围，有冰雕、雪橇比赛等等冬天才有的特色活动。如今，魁北克的冬季嘉年华已经成为整个西半球规模最大的冬季节日。
Quebec City, Quebec, Canada
Among all the pre-Lenten celebrations that take place around the world in February, the most famous are associated with warm-weather cities like Rio and New Orleans, where revelers party it up in elaborate costumes during the run-up to Ash Wednesday. It's a different affair in Quebec City, pictured here, where participants in the Quebec Winter Carnival enjoy all things winter, from snow sculptures to sleigh races. This former frontier outpost, and little sister to Montreal, is known for its spirited embrace of the coldest, darkest season. No surprise that its winter festival is the biggest in the Western Hemisphere.

Canada, Quebec Red Bridge
When the Pont Rouge (Red Bridge) of Sainte-Agathe-de-Lotbinière was built over the Palmer River in 1928, covered bridges were already commonplace here in Quebec. Simple designs imported from the United States allowed relatively untrained workers to quickly construct crossings like this. 'Ponts rouges' (often called this whether or not they were painted red) popped up wherever rural French Canadians required a convenient river crossing—as many as 1,500 were built between the late 1800s and the 1950s. Today fewer than 100 still stand, and some—like this one—are protected by local and provincial agencies for historic preservation.
加拿大魁北克红桥
1928年，圣阿加泰德·洛比尼埃的红桥（Pont Rouge）在帕尔默河上修建时，盖梁桥在魁北克已经司空见惯。从美国进口的简单设计允许相对未经培训的工人快速建造这样的过境点19世纪末至20世纪50年代，在法裔加拿大人需要方便的河流穿越的地方，就出现了红桥（无论是否被漆成红色，通常称之为红桥），修建了多达1500座。今天，只有不到100个仍然存在，像这一个这样的一些是由地方和省级机构保护的历史保护。

Frozen fun in the Canadian cold
Not far downriver from Montreal, where the banks of the St. Lawrence River widen as it approaches the Atlantic, lies Quebec's picturesque and often chilly capital. Quebec City, one of the continent's oldest European settlements, is often called the most European city outside Europe. It's the only North American city outside Mexico whose fortified walls still stand, and its winding streets showcase a French-tinged exemplar of old Romantic architecture (typified by the steep-roofed Château Frontenac in the photo's foreground).
The mid-sized metropolis has been central to French Canadian life for over 400 winters, and the annual Quebec Winter Carnival—which kicks off today—is one of the largest and oldest cold-weather celebrations on Earth. Thousands of Quebecers and visitors will spend the next 10 days ice skating, enjoying night parades, exploring the festival's ice palace, and dressing up for the Château's masquerade ball. A few will even perform winter feats like the ice canoe race, where boaters pilot specially-equipped canoes across the freezing St. Lawrence, intermittently stepping out to carry their vessels over huge ice chunks.
