比利時——歷史名人的逃亡勝地
Karl Marx was forced to migrate to the Belgian capital in 1845 after being expelled from both Germany and France because of the political ideology he was spreading. From Belgium, he wrote together with Friedrich Engels, his most famous book, the Communist Manifesto.
卡爾·馬克思因其傳播的政治意識形態(tài)而被德國和法國驅逐出境,他于1845年被迫移居比利時首都。馬克思在比利時與弗里德里?!ざ鞲袼挂黄鹱珜懥怂钪淖髌贰豆伯a黨宣言》。
The author of Les Miserables, Victor Hugo also made Belgium his home. Hugo was not expelled from France, but as a defender of democracy, social justice and the abolition of the death penalty, he was a very serious opponent of Napoleon III. That's why he escaped from France and came to Brussels in 1851, where he stayed seven months at Grand Place. He then returned to Brussels in 1861 to write Les Miserables.
《悲慘世界》的作者維克多·雨果也在比利時安了家。雨果并未被驅逐出法國,但作為民主、社會正義和廢除死刑的捍衛(wèi)者,他強烈反對拿破侖(執(zhí)政),因此他逃離了法國并于1851年來到了布魯塞爾,并在布魯塞爾大廣場住了七個月。之后他于1861年回到了布魯塞爾,并創(chuàng)作了《悲慘世界》。
Alexandre Dumas, the author of major works like The Count of Monte Cristo, was another famous author who lived in Brussels. Dumas moved to Brussels in 1851, the same year as his friend, Victor Hugo. Although he pretended he was forced to migrate for political reasons, the truth is he was facing prison in France because of debts, had no other option. Dumas lived in Boulevard de Waterloo for two years before reaching an agreement with his lenders and returning to Paris in 1853.
亞歷山大·杜馬斯是另一位在布魯塞爾生活過的著名作家,他創(chuàng)作了《基督山伯爵》等經典著作。1851年杜馬斯移居布魯塞爾,而他的朋友維克多·雨果也于同一年移居布魯塞爾。盡管杜馬斯假裝自己是出于政治原因而被迫移民,但事實上,他在法國因債務而面臨牢獄之災,其實是別無選擇。杜馬斯在滑鐵盧大道住了兩年,之后他與債權人達成協(xié)議,于1853年返回巴黎。
Probably the most influential man of the 20th century: Albert Einstein. Einstein, who was the mind behind major scientific discoveries, lived in Belgium on and off between 1902 and 1933. His last trip to Belgium was of the most significance. In 1933, Adolph Hitler was elected German Chancellor. While the Jews suffered from the first discriminatory measures, Albert Einstein, who was living in California, decided not to come back to Germany. He headed to Belgium, and stayed in Le Coq for six months with his wife, before going back to the USA indefinitely.
20世紀最有影響力的人可能就是阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦了。愛因斯坦提出了許多重大科學發(fā)現,在1902年至1933年間,愛因斯坦偶爾在比利時居住。他的最后一次比利時之行最為重要。1933年阿道夫·希特勒當選德國總理。當猶太人第一次遭到歧視性對待時,阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦決定不回德國了,當時他住在加利福尼亞。后來,他前往比利時,與妻子一起在勒高克住了六個月,然后從此移居美國。
