Young Berliners cannot ignore where they come from. Yet, perhaps because the past still rings like a warning – and is still physically visible in the topography and architecture of the city today – Berlin is striking in its simplicity, its radiant modernity (symbolized by the glass dome of the Reichstag, a conception of the British architect Norman Foster), and, above all, its intensity.
年轻的柏林人不能忘记过去。但或许因为过去仍然警钟长鸣（而且在今天的城市建筑地貌中仍然依稀可辨），柏林城的简单、（以英国建筑师诺曼·福斯特设计的国会大厦玻璃穹顶为代表的）容光焕发的现代感还有激情都令人忍不住赞叹。
