皇宮：
位於卡爾約翰大道的盡頭，於十九世紀前半期為國王查爾三世所建，採新古典主義風格。
Slotter:
It's located at one end of Karl Jogans Gate, built in the first half of the 19th century for King Charles III.
The architectural style is neoclassical.
皇宮左方是綠意盎然的樹林，夏天的景致特別美好。
On its left side is a vast stretch of lush woods. In summer, the view is especially lovely.
國家劇院：
從皇宮往國會的方向前進，沿途會經過國家劇院，建築前立有易卜生的雕像。
National theater:
Keep walking forth, and you'll see thee national theater along the way. One of the statues in front of it is Ibsen.
市政廳：
從國家劇院往前走就是市政廳，建設始於1931年，中途因世界地二次大戰停工，1950年才落成。每年12月10日的諾貝爾和平獎頒獎典禮於奧斯陸市政廳舉行，這是諾貝爾當年的遺願，而其他獎項的頒獎典禮則是在斯德哥爾摩頒發。
Oslo City Hall:
Take a right turn when seeing the national theater. Go straight, and the city hall is further down the road. The construction started in 1931, but it was paused by the outbreak of the Second World War before the inauguration in 1950. Every year on December 10, the award ceremony of Nobel Peace Prize will be held here, as Nobel wished. The other Nobel prizes are awarded in Stockholm, though.
非常有藝文氣息的市政廳外貌。
The outward appearance of the city hall is highly artistic too.
內部的壁畫也非常美輪美奐。
The murals are more than amazing.
雖然很多藝術作多少有政教宣傳的意味，但還真是漂亮啊！
Though the artworks are meant to tell the history of the nation, I still can't deny they're beautiful to look at!
諾貝爾和平中心：
從市政廳再往前走即可到達，展出和諾貝爾和平獎相關的展覽。
Nobel Peace Center:
Go straight down to the harbor. The Nobel Peace Prize Center, which showcases exhibitions related to the Nobel Peace Prize, is nearby.
冷冷的夏天早晨，出來蹓狗的挪威人，不知是不是因為天氣，城市的挪威人不如鄉下遇到的友善。
Norwegians that walk their dogs on a chilly summer morning. I don't know whether it's the weather, but the urban Norwegians do not feel so friendly as the suburban ones.
走回到卡爾約翰大道，沿路的公園裡有可以用信用卡付費的公共廁所。
Time to go back to Karl Johans Gate. There are mobile lavatories which accept credit cards in the park along the way.
和不能飛的紅色氣球。
And the red balloon that can't fly.
沿途偷閒去了書店，有舒適的沙發閱讀區，但是挪威的書超級貴，買了兩本就花上台幣兩千元。
I sneaked to a bookstore. It's cozy to read on the sofa. Books in Norway are pricey. I spent more than 2,000 NTD buying two books.
國會前享受夏日的金髮美女配上盛開的玫瑰花。
Blonde ladies enjoy their summer evenings in front of Stortinget.
Grand 飯店：
建於1874年，一樓是Grand 咖啡館。
Grand Hotel:
Built in 1874. On the first floor is the renowned Grand Cafe.
咖啡館內部的裝潢有富貴的藝術氣息，據說易卜生常常和文藝界的朋友在這裡用餐，現在則有許多貴婦和中上流階級的客人。我們在這裡享用三明治吃到飽的午餐，雖然當天下著冷冷的雨，而每個三明治都好飽滿，四方形的土司上堆滿生菜配海鮮和牛肉，不是超級可口，不過咖啡館的氛圍無價。
The cafe oozes artistic aura, the kind that only the rich can afford. It is said that Ibsen used to lunch here with his artist friends. During our stay, we saw mostly middled-aged or elderly guests. We had all-you-can-eat sandwich buffet. However, it was a unique experience to eat cold colorful sandwiches on a cold rainy day though they were piled high with salads, seafood, and beef. Not quite yummy, but I'd do anything now to buy that experience.
下次要能再拍到這樣的照片也要等個一年了吧！
I'll have to wait for another year to take such a photo!
