荷兰——郁金香的海洋天堂

 

　　The vibrant blues, reds, pinks and yellows sprawl as far as the eye can see in Lisse, western Netherlands, where farmers hope to make huge profits selling them to florists and supermarkets around the world. The cultivation of flower bulbs began more than 400 years ago. The tulip season begins in March and lasts until August with several shows held across the country, but the flowers are undoubtedly at their most spectacular at this time of year。

　　在荷兰西部的利瑟，五颜六色的郁金香田地一直延伸到目之所及，这里的农民期望通过把鲜花卖给全世界的花店和超市来获取巨大的利润。据了解，荷兰种植郁金香的历史可追溯到四百多年前。郁金香花季从三月持续到八月，期间全国各地都有郁金香展，然而这个季节的无疑是最为繁盛的。
