超夢幻的梵高主題小鎮花車遊行
These are the incredible works of art created by residents in a Dutch village to celebrate their greatest painter on the first Sunday of September every year。
這些不可思議的作品是由荷蘭一村莊的居民所創作的，在每年九月的第一個星期日，他們都以此來慶祝其最偉大的畫家。
Legendary artist Vincent Van Gogh was born in the village in 1853 so he has often popped up as a theme in the Netherlands' oldest flower festival, dating back to 1936.
傳奇藝術家文森特·梵高於1853年出生於這一村莊，所以他經常作爲主題出現在荷蘭最古老的花卉節日中，最早可以追溯到1936年。
Towering beauty: The floral masterpieces, draped in dahlias, are paraded around the streets of Zundert in the south of the Netherlands on giant floats up to twenty metres long and towering 10 metres high。
高聳的美景：這些由大麗花裝飾的花型傑作在荷蘭南部的津德爾特的大街上游行，它由長20米、高10米的巨大花車來運載，。
Attracting 50,000 people this year, it also celebrates the region’s proud reputation as a global supplier of dahlias, an area now covering 33 hectares (81 acres) of 600,000 dahlia bulbs in fifty different species。
今年的遊行吸引了五萬人，除紀念梵高之外，這場遊行還慶祝了該地區引以爲豪的大麗花產業(作爲供應商)，現在該地區覆蓋了33公頃(81英畝)、60萬多的大麗花球，多達50個不同品種。
This huge, flowered float makes its way along the street to marvels from the crowd at the Netherlands' largest flower festival。
在荷蘭最大的花卉節日上，這輛巨大的花車繞街遊行，羣衆發出驚歎的聲音。
More than 50,000 people attended the parade, a tradition dating back to 1936 which is the oldest flower parade in Europe, but only dahlias, flown in specially for the parade, are used to decorate the enormous sculptures。
五萬多人蔘加了這場遊行，其傳統可以追溯到1936年，是歐洲最古老的花卉遊行，但是這些巨大的雕像只用特意爲這場遊行準備的大麗花裝飾。
There is a different theme every year and in 2015, locals were proud to celebrate Van Gogh, who was born in Zundert in 1853.
每年遊行的主題都不一樣，而在2015年，當地居民們非常自豪能夠爲1853年出生於津德爾特的梵高慶生。
But this year, to commemorate the 125th anniversary of his death, the town decided to devote the whole parade to his artistic genius, with all 19 floats dedicated to him。
但是今年，爲了紀念梵高逝世125週年，這座城鎮決定將整場遊行都獻給這位藝術天才，他們把19輛花車都獻給了他。
The theme gave rise to a diverse range of float designs, all in the spirit of Van Gogh, with thousands lining the streets to see them go by。
花樣繁多的花車設計靈感都源自這次的主題，無不體現着梵高精神，供千上萬的人站在街邊欣賞。
