Porto, the 2nd Largest of Portugal(葡萄牙第二大城波尔图“海港”)

【I'm beginning to know myself (Come?o a conhecer-me)】

Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935)

I'm beginning to know myself. I don't exist. 

I'm the space between what I'd like to be and what others have made me, 

Or half of this space, since there's also life… 

That's me, after all… 

Turn off the light, shut the door, and get rid of the slipper noise in the hallway. 

Just let me be at ease and all by myself in my room. 

It's a shoddy universe.

【《我开始认识自己》】

(葡萄牙)冒险者·佩索阿“法人”(1888生—1935卒)

【红霞译】

            我开始认识自己。我并不存在。

            我是我想成为的我和别人眼中的我之间的裂缝，

            或者半裂，因为灵魂尚在……

            就这样，到头来……

            熄掉灯，关上门，甭管走廊里的拖鞋噪音。

            让我在家独享宁静。

            虚骄的天地万物。

【注】日落时分，葡萄牙第二大城市波尔图“海港”城就像一本从杜罗“金”河(Rio Douro)上翻开的书本，朴素古老而又富丽堂皇，其杂乱无章的中世纪遗迹中心、鲜美可口的珍馐佳酿以及独具一格的风土人情无不令我这样的匆匆过客赏心悦目。

除了海港城狭街窄巷交织的历史古城之外，当代建筑师还在城市的天际线上留下了他们独特的印记：简约时尚的当代艺术博物馆和前卫标志性的音乐厅将海港城带入21世纪；公共艺术随处可见，从装饰地铁的手绘瓷砖到破旧中世纪墙壁上的街头工艺。

悠闲早午餐的复古咖啡馆，创意开胃点心(Petisco)的酷炫小酒馆，大西洋鲜鱼价格亲民的家庭酒吧(Tasca)，金河谷畔加度葡萄酒——本地特产波特“港口”酒(Vinho do Porto)，将葡萄酒储存在海港木桶的酒窖中进行陈酿，不仅叫生猛海鲜佐以最佳搭档，而且使吃喝玩乐从未如此充满刺激。不得不说，美食时代离不开两家引领葡萄牙新潮流的本帮烧：磐石·榆树(Pedro Lemos)餐厅和守门员酒店餐厅(The Yeatman)，进而让海港城继续留守在米其林“神赐”地图上。再有，美食之旅、烹饪授课、橄榄油工作坊、品酒宴会和大地之神(Gaia)巨型港口酒窖等配套服务不遗余力，共同把海港城打造成欧洲最美味的城市之一。

如同里斯本“附魔港”人被昵称小莴苣(Alfacinhas)，“古老、至尊、永远忠诚不败”的海港城人外号叫“吃牛肚者”(Tripeiros)，而海港式牛肚杂烩(Tripas à Moda do Oorto)确实是当地最有名的传统美食！

1996年被联合国教科文组织列为《世界遗产名录》。

Ancient, Most Noble, Always Loyal and Undefeated.
