Does Egypt have the best falafel in the world? 埃及的沙拉三明治是世界上最好吃的吗？ It's Wednesday afternoon in downtown Cairo, and the usual smorgasbord of humanity is going about its daily business. From sharp-suited businesspeople single-mindedly weaving through the capital's notorious traffic to young men on bicycles perching wooden trays of fresh bread on their heads. Everyone, it seems, has somewhere to be. 周三下午，在开罗市中心，人们像往常一样忙着自己的日常事务。西装革履的商人目不旁视地穿梭于开罗喧哗吵闹的交通人流中，骑自行车的年轻人把盛着新鲜面包的木托盘顶在头上。每个人都在各自忙碌着。 Down a small alleyway in the Abdeen neighbourhood, I marvel at the graceful, 19th- to 20th-Century Belle Epoque stylings of a faded apartment building, the intricate balconies and wooden shutters offering a glimpse of life in this teeming city many decades ago. 沿着阿布迪恩(Abdeen)街区的一条小巷子走下去，能看到一栋褪了色的公寓楼，整体风格十分优雅，是19世纪至20世纪“美好时代”(Belle Epoque)的那种风格，错落有致的阳台和木百叶窗让我得以一瞥几十年前这座熙熙攘攘的城市的生活。 |
