爱尔兰共和国首都都柏林是一个风光旖旎、秀色可餐的城市。“都柏林”这个名称源自爱尔兰语,原是“黑色池塘”的意思,后来转译到英语里,原先的词义没有了,发音还是一直保存着。不过现在的爱尔兰人称呼这个城市为“巴利阿克利”——在现代爱尔兰语里,这是“芦苇浅滩之城”的意思。可见,都柏林原本就是个池塘密布、生机盎然的生态之城。所以直到现在,都柏林的骨子里总是涌动着一股挥之不去的田园诗意。时下的都柏林,早已成为爱尔兰岛上当之无愧的政治、经济和文化中心,市内人口已经超过110万人,对总人口不过400余万的爱尔兰共和国来说,都柏林的重要性不言而喻。

But now the Irish call the city “Bally Acre” - in modern Irish, this is “the city of reeds for the bees.” Visible, Dublin was originally a pond full of vitality, the ecological city. So until now, Dublin's bones always surging a lingering idyllic. Nowadays, Dublin has long been a well-deserved political, economic and cultural center on the island of Ireland, with a population of more than 1.1 million. For the Irish Republic, with a population of more than 4 million, Dublin's importance is self-evident.
