4、古老的磚石結(jié)構(gòu)的哥特式拱門(mén)。你首先要穿過(guò)一個(gè)赤日耀眼、灼熱逼人的大型露天廣場(chǎng),然后走進(jìn)一個(gè)涼爽、幽暗的洞穴。這市場(chǎng)一直向前延伸,一眼望不到盡頭,消失在遠(yuǎn)處的陰影里。趕集的人們絡(luò)繹不絕地進(jìn)出市場(chǎng),一些掛著鈴鐺的小毛驢穿行于這熙熙攘攘的人群中,邊走邊發(fā)出和諧悅耳的叮當(dāng)叮當(dāng)?shù)捻懧?。市?chǎng)的路面約有十二英尺寬,但每隔幾碼遠(yuǎn)就會(huì)因?yàn)樵O(shè)在路邊的小貨攤的擠占而變窄;那兒出售的貨物各種各樣,應(yīng)有盡有。你一走進(jìn)市場(chǎng),就可以聽(tīng)到攤販們的叫賣(mài)聲,趕毛驢的小伙計(jì)和腳夫們大著嗓門(mén)叫人讓道的吆喝聲,還有那些想買(mǎi)東西的人們與攤主討價(jià)還價(jià)的爭(zhēng)
