I haven’t the __________ （strong) to lift this stone.

Out of all the cities and towns we visited in Central Europe, the city that made the biggestimpression on me was definitely Prague(布拉格). I do not know if it is the story behind every wall,stone and bridge that left me so speechless, but to this day I have no doubt that there is no othercity in the world that can compare to Prague. With its peculiar romantic flavor, Prague to me is farmore attractive than Paris, London and New York put together.

My acquaintance with Prague started on the bus from Vienna, where I listened to a tourguide telling us the story of how the city was set up. When we arrived in Prague, the first thing wewent to see right from the hotel was, of course, the Charles Bridge. Completed in 1357, this bridgewas built on blood and eggs to hold the bricks together, and it proved to be firmer than any othermaterial. Fascinated by the fact, we went on to examine the statues on every post of the bridge,while we listened to the story behind each of them.

There were many other things that inspired and fascinated me. The whole of Prague is like afairy tale of its own, with millions of unbelievable stories running through its history. But whatimpressed me most was the sunset above the Prague Castle.

The view was just beautiful: the sun, just barely reaching the sharp peaks of the Castle; thesky with soft clouds; the sweet music of violin somewhere in the air. It is so great that it makesyou feel like time has stopped.

We spent over three weeks in Europe, and just two days in Prague. But it seems like Prague hastaken up most of my emotions and feelings. Prague is worth visiting again and again.
