From a distance, Ohrid looks like itschanged little over the centuries-a fairy-tale faraway place ringed bysnowcapped peaks, reflected in an ancient lake that lies beneath it. Fivethousand years of civilization, almost two millennia of Christianity.
从远处来看，奥赫里德似乎数百年来都没有什么改变--仍是一个童话般的遥远古城，周围环绕着白雪皑皑的山峰，山下有一座古老的湖泊映着倒影。这里的文明已有5000年的历史，基督教也存在了将近2000年。

Erasmus, who came from Antioch, from Syria,chose this place to build his church, and he built a basilica.
来自叙利亚安提阿的伊拉斯莫斯选中了这个地方盖教堂，他盖了一座廊柱大教堂。

And this was the first church here?
这是这里的第一座教堂?

One of the first churches, Christianchurches, of Europe, because imagine: St. Erasmus died in 303, which is 10years before Christianity was even recognized8 by the Roman state.
也是欧洲最早的教堂之一，而且是基督教教堂。想想看:圣伊拉斯莫斯在公元303年去世，比基督教获得罗马认可为合法宗教还早10年。

St. Erasmus's church was just thebeginning. Legend has it there were 365 churches and monasteries in and aroundOhrid. This one, St. Sofia's is on the country's 1,000 denar banknote, and thecity itself for centuries was known as the Jerusalem of the Balkans.
圣伊拉斯莫斯的教堂只是个开端。根据传说，奥赫里德境内及周围共有365座教堂和修道院。这座教堂叫圣索菲亚教堂，在1000第纳尔的马其顿钞票上可以看到这座教堂的图样。数百年来，奥赫里德本身一向被称为巴尔干半岛的耶路撒冷。

It's a nice round number, 365, just likethe days of the year.

But why so many in one place?
可是为什么有那么多集中在同一个地区呢?

It is a place next to a large lake; lots ofdrinkable water, lots of food, well protected, and it is on the crossroads ofthe roads connecting east and west, north and south.
这个地方紧临着一座大湖，有许多饮用水，许多粮食，防御坚固，又位于连接东西向与南北向道路的交叉口。

And at almost every turn it does feel likethere's a church，St. Barbara's, patron saint of miners and carpenters, 19th century;and over there, 17th century, a church for the holy doctors Cosmas and Damian.But it is when you go inside that the churches reveal their beauty. Somefrescoes are 900 years old.
感觉上几乎每个街口都有一座教堂--圣芭芭拉教堂建于19世纪，供奉矿工与木工的守护圣人;那边那座教堂建于17世纪，供奉葛斯默和丹米安这两位圣徒医生。不过，你必须走进教堂里面，才真正看得到这些教堂的美丽之处。有些壁画已经有900年的历史了。

奥赫里德史学家利普科·库巴洛夫斯基
We are fortunate to have some of the oldestfrescoes known to the Christian world here in this church, including somebeautiful angels that are considered to be the most beautiful and the mostserious angels ever painted.
我们很幸运，在这座教堂里可以看到基督教世界里最古老的几幅壁画，包括几位美丽的天使。一般公认这几位天使是历史上绘过的最美也最严肃的天使。

The city is also the birthplace of theCyrillic script, taught by St. Clement at the university he founded here 1,100years ago.
这个城镇也是西里尔字母的诞生地。1100年前圣克莱门在这里创建了一所大学，就在大学里教授这种字母。
From the winding alleys of the old town tothe myriad archeological digs, Ohrid's past can be seen laid layer upon layer.But nowhere is the arc of history more stunningly revealed than. from the lake.Our boatman, Bobby-named after the great English footballer Bobby Moore-is morethan happy to show us and make us coffee.
从古老城镇的蜿蜒巷道到无数的考肯挖掘地，我们可以见到奥赫里德的过往一层层堆积了起来。不过，湖泊映现出的历史尤其令人赞叹。我们的船夫巴比--名字取自英严足球名将巴比·摩尔--非常乐于带我们参观，还要冲咖啡给我们喝。
He is, by nature, a happy man. But he isnot delighted by the decline in tourism.
他天生性格开朗但他对旅游业的没落并开心。

When we were in Yugoslavia, a lot oftourists came from England, Deutschland, and from other countries from Europe,but now from everywhere again.
船夫巴比我们以前还属于南斯拉夫的时候，许多游客来自英国、德国及其他欧洲国家，现在什么地方的游客都有。

Both the lake, also called Ohrid, and thecity are getting some attention. New laws passed by the Macedonian governmentare designed to protect it, bolstering safeguards in place since it became aUNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980. But to have a future, it needs more thanprotecting; it needs people.
这座与奥赫里德同名的湖泊和这座城镇都受到了关注。马其顿政府刚通过的法律规定要保护这里，需要加强警备人员驻守，因为这里在1980年由联合国教科文组织选为世界遗产保护区。不过，这个地方如果要有中来，需要的不只是保护，也需要有人。
Do you think people have forgotten yourcountry, Macedonia? They knew Yugoslavia, but have they forgotten Macedonia?
你认为世人遗忘了你的国家吗?他们都知道南斯拉夫，却忘了马其顿吗?

I don't know why, because maybe we are asmall country. Who knows? Two million people is like one city in Europe.
我不知道为什么，也许是因为我们的国家很小。谁知道呢? 200万的人口在欧洲只相当于一座城市。

A small country, but one with a rich anddeep history.
国家虽小，却充满了丰富而深远的历史。
