荷兰首都阿姆斯特丹英语Amsterdam, seaport and principal city of the western Netherlands, in North Holland Province, near The Hague(海牙). Amsterdam is the countrys constitutional capital; the real seat of government, however, is in The Hague. Amsterdam is divided by more than 80 km of canals into about 90 islands joined by about 400 bridges.Amsterdam, chartered as a city in 1300, became a member of the Hanseatic League(汉萨同盟) in 1369. In the 17th century, after the successful conclusion of the Dutch wars for independence from Spain, Amsterdam became the chief commercial center of northern Europe. The city held this position until the late 18th century, when trade declined as a result of the silting(淤积;淤塞) of the Zuider Zee(须德海) and the British blockade before and during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815). In 1810 Napoleon incorporated the Netherlands into the French Empire. After his downfall(衰败，垮台) theNetherlands regained its independence and the seat of government was moved to The Hague. In the latter part of the 19th century, commercial activities revived with the opening of the North Sea and North Holland canals. During World War II (1939-1945), Amsterdam was occupied by the German army for five years. The people suffered great hardship and the port was badly damaged, but it has since been rebuilt and improved.Amsterdam is one of the most important commercial centers in Europe. The city is a major port linked to the North Sea and other European countries by a network of railways and canals, notably the North Sea Canal, which is navigable(适于航行的)by oceangoing(远洋航行的) vessels. Among leading industries in the city are shipbuilding, sugar refining, publishing, and the manufacture of heavy machinery, paper products, textiles and clothing, porcelain and glass, aircraft, automobiles, and chemicals. The city is also famous as a center for polishing and cutting diamonds and as the chief financial center of the Netherlands. A major European stock exchange is located in Amsterdam, as are the Bank of the Netherlands and several insurance firms.Amsterdam has been an important center of Europeancultural life since the 17th century. The city is the site of the National Academy of Art, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences, and the University of Amsterdam (1632). Its Rijksmuseum(阿姆斯特丹国立博物馆) contains one of the largest collections of Dutch and Flemish paintings in the world, and its Stedelijk Museum(市立现代美术馆) has an extensive collection of modern works. The Van Gogh Museum(凡高博物馆) includes about 800 works by 19th-century painter Vincent van Gogh(文森特凡高)in its collection. Amsterdam is also noted as the home of the renowned 17th-century painter Rembrandt(伦布兰特); his home is now a museum. The Concert-gebouw, completed in 1883, is the home of Amsterdams renowned orchestra. The city has numerous examples of 16th- and 17th-century architecture, as well as two historic churches: Oude Kerk (Old Church), built about 1300, and Nieuwe Kerk (New Church), built in the 15th century. The royal palace, originally built in the 17th century as the town hall, stands on a large square in the center of the city.扩展：With or without you 等你LyricsWith or without you by U2See the stone set in your eyesSee the thorn twist in your sideI wait for youSleight1 of hand and twist of fateOn a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait without youWith or without youWith or without youThrough the storm we reach the shore You give it all but I want moreAnd Im waiting for youWith or without youWith or without youI cant liveWith or without youAnd you give yourself awayAnd you give yourself awayAnd you giveAnd you giveAnd you give yourself awayMy hands are tiedMy body bruised2, shes got me with Nothing to win andNothing left to loseAnd you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you giveAnd you giveAnd you give yourself away With or without youWith or without youI cant liveWith or without youWith or without youWith or without youI cant liveWith or without youWith or without you中文歌词等你by U2看到你眼若冰霜看到你浑身带刺我在等你上天实在作弄人她就让我苦苦的等不论你是否在身旁我在等你我们在暴风雨中达到彼岸即使你献出所有我仍想得到更多我在等你不管你是否在身旁我会在这里等你我的生命中不能没有你你吐露了心声我束茧自缚我遍体鳞伤她让我丧失了所有的筹码令我一无所有你吐露了心声不管你是否在身旁我的生命中不能没有你不管你是否在身旁我的生命中不能没有你。
