从巴黎乘飞机向南航行,越过郁郁葱葱的西班牙丘陵山地,越过碧波万顷的地中海,越过茫茫无垠的撒哈拉大沙漠,八小时后便可到达毛里塔尼亚共和国的首都努瓦克肖特市。我这次是为了帮助建设一个深水港来进行海岸考察工作的。在这段时间里,西非海岸的奇特景色和热情欢乐的人民,给我留下了难忘的印象。 Sailing south from Paris, flying over the lush hills and mountains of Spain, across the bisexual Mediterranean Sea, across the boundless Sahara, eight hours from Nouakchott, the capital of the Republic of Mauritania. This time, I was going to help build a deep-water port for coastal inspection. During this time, the strange scenery of the West African coast and the warm and joyous people left an unforgettable impression on me.
