Edinburgh Festival


Edinburgh Fringe Festival is the largest event in Edinburgh during August each year. How large the event is? It is really unbelievable, the whole Edinburgh really crazy on the festival like Tatoo, drama, dancing, comedy and children show. Street crowded by people who came from all around the world. I think the number of people who staying in Edinburgh were increased at least 5 times than normal day, it is really can't imagined before. Everyday got hundred shows going on for a month, street performance every day and fire work every night. Shops are opened until 11pm which normally closed at 6pm. Every one of us should effected by the festival no matter you are a bagger or a teacher, because even bagger can earn much more than normal day. If you would like to visit Edinburgh, please don't come during August, because you can't really see the true of Edinburgh.

一年一度的爱丁堡嘉年华会将要结束了。之前我一直有听说Festival的大名,但经过这整个八月份我才真正的感受到它是名不虚传;Festival对爱丁堡的影响力是在太大了,它影响所有爱丁堡的人事物,没有人能够幸免。在festival期间街上的人突然增加了5倍之多,以前十个人在街上走,如今是五十个人,现在是塞人而不是塞车,若我要走回家还需要费不少的精神‘闪’人。每一天爱丁堡有上百个艺术节目,表演者都来之世界各地,有小型的街头表演,也有大型的戏剧。差不多城市里每一个角落都参与festival的节目,连大学也配合它做展览会,建筑废墟也成了一个临时剧场。各行各业的生意会比一般日子赚更多钱,所以每个老板都很喜欢festival的到来,但打工的就很怕它的到来,因为这段时间做工会非常的忙。每天晚上我们都会听到烟花声;当你一走上街,广告纸和传单满天飞,简直就是精神轰炸。

的确爱丁堡festival不愧称为是世界最大型的艺术节,以它的节目规模和人数你真的难以想象;但是我还是比较喜欢原来安静的爱丁堡,这样的热闹一个月对我来说实在太长了;这个月到处好像都是吵吵闹闹的,满街都是穿着古灵精怪服装的表演者;我想若我穿着底裤满街跑也不会有人觉得惊讶,因为人们只当你是其中一个的表演者而已。
