    DC归来

    其实是上个周日去的DC,回来之后一直很忙,也没有更新日志,大家见谅见谅-_-

    DC给我的印象很好。不愧是首都啊,建筑比其他地方的似乎都要大一号,比如华盛顿纪念碑、国会山、林肯纪念堂都修得很有气势。而且,National Mall两旁到处都是免费的大型博物馆,可见这个城市富有且非常重视文化和知识。

    一天的行程,我们玩得相当紧凑。在华盛顿纪念碑排队领到票以后,本想开车沿着National Mall逛一圈的我们误打误撞来到了阿灵顿国家公墓。这是美国最大和最著名的国家军人公墓,埋葬着美国的英雄人物、建国以来为国捐躯的25万阵亡者及其家属,规模相当可观。我们还去瞻仰了J.F.肯尼迪总统的墓地,看到了他的夫人在他被暗杀之后为他点燃的”长明火”,看到了周围墙裙上刻着的墓志铭,还是很感动的。

    没想到第一个景点就弄得气氛这么沉重,所以回到National Mall之后我们就先看了看路两边漂亮的建筑。在这里看到了National Academy of Sciences(美国国家科学院),Federal Reserve(美联储),还和爱因斯坦爷爷的雕像合了影(我知道爱因斯坦都快成Princeton的“吉祥物”了,但在National Academy of Sciences门口看到,还是忍不住要上去打个招呼)。后来才发现,DC果然是DC,路边随便一栋建筑都有可能是政府的重要部门,什么Department of Commerce, Department of Treasury都在附近。

    然后就去了国会山。因为是周日,国会大楼不开放,只能在外面照照相。很漂亮的建筑。

    到DC,自然不能错过那些博物馆。因为时间有限,我们只去了National Air and Space Museum和National Museum of Natural History。两个都是网上好评最多的博物馆,我们去了就发现果然很有意思。National Air and Space Museum重点介绍的是人类的航空航天史。讲述了人类最初学习飞行的实践(看了莱特兄弟发明第一架飞机的过程的介绍,佩服得五体投地。经历了N次试验,N次失败,N次改进,真是不屈不挠!),航空飞机在一战、二战中的作用,客机的演变过程(最初的飞机实在是又破又土,还晃得厉害,不知道那个年代的人怎么有勇气坐它-_-),还有前苏联与美国的登月赛跑,阿波罗登月计划的始末以及美国先进的航天飞机技术。好多东西我从来都没有见到过,算是大开了眼界。

    National Museum of Natural History算是我看到的最好的自然博物馆了。参观过国内一些动物博物馆和海洋博物馆,这一个却以收藏之丰富,标本之神态生动,深深打动了我。

    当中我们按照领到的票的时间参观了华盛顿纪念碑。坐电梯到达碑顶,放眼望去,DC的景色全收眼底!

    逛完博物馆已经八点多,又去瞻仰了白宫(其实是后院),林肯纪念堂和越战纪念碑。

    来美国之前,我印象中美国的代表就是纽约的自由女神像和华盛顿的白宫。这个夏天,我终于亲眼见到了他们。而华盛顿也远远不只一个白宫。在这里,每一座建筑仿佛都在讲述着历史与现在,死亡与永恒;而站在博物馆里,却分明能感受到人类在宇宙面前是多么渺小同时又多么伟大。
