Geneva (Switzerland)
Geneva is located in the Rhone Valley at the
southwestern corner of Lake Geneva （or Lac Léman，
in French）， between the Jura Mountains and the Alps.
It’s the capital of the canton （瑞士的州）of Geneva，
the second-smallest canton in the Swiss Confederation.
Switzerland’s second-largest city has an idyllic（田园诗的）setting on one of the biggest alpine lakes
and within view of the pinnacle（山顶，山峰）of Mont
Blanc. Filled with parks and promenades（散步场所），
the city becomes a virtual garden in summer. It’s also
one of the healthiest cities in the world thanks to
prevailing north winds that blow away all air pollution.
The city covers itself in flowers and takes
chocolate to an art form has got to be okay. You can’t
go wrong visiting this city， even if you just walk its
streets and lakeshore for days on end —— those flowers
are everywhere and the Lake Geneva is clear and
picturesque.
It might be in Switzerland， but Geneva is tres （法文，非常的意思）French. It didn’t join the Swiss
Confederacy until after 1815， so French culture
permeates （浸透；充满）the place by way of food and
language. Still， Calvin， who preached here during the
Reformation （宗教改革，十六至十七世纪的天主教会改革运动，结果产生了基督新教），seems to have had a deep
effect， tempering（锻造）the French spirit a bit.
Geneva is surrounded by French territory，
connected to Switzerland only by the lake and a narrow
corridor. The city’s overwhelming French influence is
apparent in its mansard（双重斜坡的屋顶）roofs， iron
balconies， sidewalk cafes， and French signs.
But if the city seems a little staid（端庄的，深沉的）， perhaps it’s because it contemplates （思忖，思量）the fate of the planet on a daily basis.
Switzerland hasn’t seen a war for over 300 years；
Geneva hosts hundreds of humanitarian and scientific
agencies. It was the home to the League of Nations，
the predecessor（前身） of the United Nations. The UN
still maintains an office here. The International Red
Cross is here. So is the World Health Organization. And
the European Centre for Nuclear Research， CERN， which
also brought us the Web. The list goes on and on.
