The family produced 4 popes, 2 Queens of France and 3 French Kings.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">也正是因為美第奇家族的捐贈與堅守，今天我們才可以在佛羅倫薩看到當年文藝復興眾多珍品。It is precisely because of the Medici family's donations and dedication, we can see so many Renaissance treasures in Florence today.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">布拉格 - 從未被轟炸過的城市</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">歸結爲兩點： 一，它並非雙方爭奪的主要目標； 二，這座城市被雲層遮蔽，雷達導航又出現錯誤致使二戰中一次有計畫的大轟炸失敗。 </span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">Prague – A city never was bombed during the war.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">This can be attributed to two factors: First, it was not a primary target of contention between the two sides; secondly, the city was obscured by clouds, and radar navigation malfunctions caused a planned major bombing raid during World War II to fail.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">布達佩斯- 戰爭中屢次被轟炸的城市</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">與布拉格命運完全不同，作為邪惡軸心國的一員，二戰期間，匈牙利遭受了美國、英國和蘇聯軍隊的猛烈轟炸，布達佩斯曾37次遭到地毯式轟炸。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">Budapest - A city repeatedly bombed during the war. As a member of the Axis powers, Hungary was under heavy bombardment by US, British and Soviet forces in World War II, Budapest was carpet-bombed 37 times. </span></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">薩爾斯堡</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">不僅是奧地利之子莫札特的出生地，也是奧地利指揮家卡拉揚的出生地，他曾擔任柏林愛樂樂團首席指揮長達34年。也是唱片銷量最高的藝術家，曾售出了超過 2 億張專輯。 </span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">還有我們熟悉的電影《音樂之聲》是發生在這裡的一個真實故事。音樂世家馮特拉普家族在1938年納粹佔領奧地利期間逃離，後來定居於美國佛蒙特州。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">Salzburg is not only the birthplace of Mozart, the "Son of Austria," but also the birthplace of Herbert von Karajan, the Austrian conductor who served as principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic for 34 years. He is also the artist with the highest album sales, having sold over 200 million albums.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">Furthermore, the film “The Sound of Music” is based on a true story set here. The musical von Trapp family fled from Austria during the Nazi occupation in 1938 and later settled in Vermont, USA.</span></p>
