根特遊步 Strolling through Ghent
每當提及「古城」二字，便不禁期盼萬分，對於那些古老的建築物總是充滿了無限的好奇。想象一下，若是從小生活在歷史悠久的城區中的孩子，他們又會如何看待這片充滿故事的地方呢？
Whenever the word "ancient city" is mentioned, it inevitably fills one with immense anticipation and boundless curiosity about the old buildings. Imagine the children who grow up in such a historically rich area, how do they perceive this storied place?
從根特火車站步行進入舊城區，可以觀察到建築風格逐漸由新向舊過渡，古街中偶爾可見摩登建築的身影。走至市中心的大廣場，新舊建築的交融創造了一種獨特而充滿活力的氛圍。這樣的環境中，居住於老建築之中的年輕人越多，城市的商業活力也隨之增強。
Walking from the Ghent train station into the old city, one can observe the architectural style gradually transitioning from new to old, with modern buildings occasionally peeking through the ancient streets. Reaching the central grand square, the blend of old and new buildings creates a unique and vibrant atmosphere. The more young people live in these old buildings, the greater the commercial vitality of the city.
在這些古老與現代的建築交織中，我們不僅看到了一座城市的外在變遷，更能感受到內在世代觀念的碰撞與融合。年輕人在這樣的環境中成長，帶來新的思維和活力，而這些新舊交融的現象，也反映了社會對於變遷的接受程度和文化的多樣性。正因如此，老一輩的人們在面對新觀念時，可能會感到挑戰而難以接受。
In this interweaving of ancient and modern architecture, we see not only the external changes of a city but also the collision and integration of generational ideas within. Young people growing up in such environments bring new thinking and vitality, and these phenomena of integration reflect society’s acceptance of change and cultural diversity. Therefore, the older generation might find it challenging to accept new ideas.
常聽人說，年逾四十五，對新意念的接受度會逐減，經常用自身的經驗來設限，此時與年輕一代的溝通需要更多的耐心。在這個變化迅速的時代，我們應當學會調節自己的心情波動，保持心靈的平衡。
It is often said that people over the age of forty-five tend to be less open to new ideas, frequently setting limits based on their own experiences, requiring more patience when communicating with the younger generation. In this rapidly changing era, we must learn to manage our emotional fluctuations and maintain mental balance.
在旅途中所見所感，若不即時記錄，往往會隨風而逝，如同無照片無證據一般，不留痕跡。每當回顧過去的回憶，真切地感受到時間的流逝，多麼希望擁有一台時光機，能重溫那些美好時光。
What is seen and felt on a journey, if not recorded immediately, often vanishes like it never existed, similar to having no photographs—no evidence. Looking back at all the memories, feeling the passage of time, one would truly wish for a time machine to revisit those beautiful moments.
