塞纳河 the Seine 也算是巴黎的名片了,不少文学作品和电影里都有它,感觉是个很浪漫的地方。

但是,千万别跑到塞纳河里去玩水,这条河的水很脏,污染很严重。

The River Seine’s water is not renowned for its healthiness. Filthy, polluted and unsuitable for consumption, no one today would risk taking a dip, even less drinking it. Yet, until the 1920s, some Parisians were not hesitating to drink the Seine’s water, to wash their laundry in it and even swim in it. Scientists analyzing the river’s water realized that it was very toxic and dangerous, immediately putting an end to those aquatic activities in the Seine.
塞纳河的水并不以健康著称。肮脏、被污染了、不适合饮用,如今没有人会冒险去游泳,更别说饮用了。然而,直到1920年代,一些巴黎人还在毫不犹豫地饮用塞纳河的水,在那里洗衣服,甚至在河里游泳。科学家分析了塞纳河的水,意识到它的毒性和危险性,立即终止了塞纳河的水上活动。
