第一次聽說雅典～是因為聖鬥士～哈哈～多久以前啦？
如果要我排出人生最想再去一次的地方～肯定是希臘！
這裡的每一根柱子～每一個雕像～低訴著古老的故事！
希臘神話、希臘哲學、甚至是希臘沙拉～都讓在這裡的每一天吸滿滿文化氣息的飽足感～
雅典大學讓我想起台大的傅園（放大了好幾倍就是）
附上一首英國詩人拜倫的「雅典少女」
Maid of Athens, ere we part,
Give, oh, give back my heart!
Or, since that has left my breast,
Keep it now, and take the rest!
Hear my vow before I go,
Zoe uml; mou sas agapo.
雅典的少女啊，在我們分別前，
把我的心，把我的心交還！
或者，既然它已經和我脱離，
留着它吧，把其餘的也拿去！
请聽一句我臨別前的誓語：
你是我的生命，我爱你。
By those tresses unconfined,
Wooed by each Aegean wind;
By those lids whose jetty fringe
Kiss thy soft cheeks' blooming tinge;
By those wild eyes like the roe,
Zoe uml; mou sas agapo.
By that lip I long to taste;
By that zone-encircled waist;
By all the token-flowers that tell
What words can never speak so well;
By love's alternate joy and woe,
Zoe uml; mou sas agapo.
Maid of Athens! I am gone:
Think of me, sweet! when alone.
Though I fly to Istambol,
Athens holds my heart and soul:
Can I cease to love thee? No!
Zoe uml; mou sas agapo
雖然我向著伊斯坦堡飛奔，
雅典卻抓住我的心和靈魂；
我能夠不愛你嗎？不會的！
你是我的生命！我愛你！
