Amsterdam is the capital of Netherlands and also its largest city.It was once an important port,and has many old canals that run in a circle pattern through the center of the city.Because the main roads cross one canal after another,Amsterdam has many bridges.Along the canals,the roads are cobbled and there are many tall old buildings.阿姆斯特丹是荷蘭的首都，也是荷蘭最大的城市。它曾經(jīng)是一個(gè)重要的港口，因此有許多古老的運(yùn)河環(huán)繞。許多主干道沿著一條條運(yùn)河延伸，因此阿姆斯特丹有很多橋。運(yùn)河沿岸的道路都是鵝卵石鋪就的，高樓林立，古色古香。

Once,the canals carried barges,but today they carry boats full of tourists.In the streets that cross the canals there are many shops and restaurants.The Rijks Museum in Amsterdam is important for its many paintings by Rembrandt,and the City Museum holds many paintings by Van Gogh.曾經(jīng)，運(yùn)河主要用來(lái)駁船，但是現(xiàn)在運(yùn)河上都是載著游客的游船了。運(yùn)河沿岸的街道上都是商店和餐館。阿姆斯特丹的國(guó)家博物館因?yàn)閭惒实漠?huà)而變得十分重要，城市博物館里收藏了很多梵高的畫(huà)。
