西班牙是一个集东方与西方传统于一体的国家,它地处欧洲西南部的伊比利亚半岛,人类最早生活于此的记录可以推算到远古时代。伊比利亚文化呈本地化特点,同时带有东方色彩,这可能是由于受到来自尼罗河流域文化的影响。公元前七世纪开始,西班牙经历了罗马帝国的统治和日耳曼人的入侵,使欧洲文化特点在伊比利亚半岛占据了主导地位。然而公元八世纪,西班牙又遭受了阿拉伯人的入侵,阿拉伯的统治不仅给伊比利亚半岛带来了战乱,更有灿烂的文化和繁荣的经济,它不仅使西班牙人兼具了欧洲与阿拉伯的血统,还使西班牙文化兼有东西文化的色彩。东方文明的感性和西方文明的理性在这个深沉浪漫而又热情奔放的国家碰撞并融合着。
Spain is a country with east and west traditions. It is located in the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe. The earliest record of human life can be deduced to ancient times. Iberian culture is localized and oriental in color, possibly due to cultural influences from the Nile Valley. Beginning in the seventh century BC, Spain experienced the rule of the Roman Empire and the invasion of the Germans, leading the European cultural identity to a dominant position in the Iberian Peninsula. However, in the eighth century, Spain suffered another Arab invasion. The Arab rule not only brought war on the Iberian Peninsula, a more splendid culture and a prosperous economy. It not only enabled the Spaniards to have both Europe and Arabia Descent, but also to make Spanish culture both Eastern and Western colors. The sensibility of oriental civilization and the rationality of Western civilization collide and blend in this deeply romantic and passionate country.
