我们从布拉柴维尔抵达喀麦隆首都雅温得时,已近中午,稍稍使人感到有些炎热。这也许是旱季开始的缘故。雅温得象许多非洲国家的首都一样,坐落在丘陵地带。萨纳加河和尼昂河从它的两侧流淌而过,如同在绿色地毯上描画出两条美丽的曲线。这座城市建于1888年,迄今已近百年。考古工作者曾在附近的墓穴里发现一批画有斧头和棕榈仁图案的古代陶器。经鉴定,都是公元前1,100年的文物。如此看来,雅温得的文明也是十分悠久的了。 When we arrived at Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, from Brazzaville, it was almost noon and slightly felt a little hot. This may be the beginning of the dry season. Yaoundé, like the capitals of many African countries, is located in the hills. The Sanaga and Nion rivers flow past its sides as if it were two beautiful curves on a green carpet. The city was built in 1888, nearly a hundred years ago. Archaeologists have found in ancient tombs a collection of ancient pottery painted with ax and palm kernel motifs. Identified, are 1, 100 BC heritage. It seems that Yaoundé’s civilization is also very long.
