<正>On July 08, 1951, Paris, the capital city of France, celebrated its 2,000th birthday. In fact,a few more candles would’ve technically1been required on the birthday cake, as the City of Lights was most likely founded around 250 B.C.1951年的7月8日这一天,法国的首都巴黎庆祝了它的2000岁的生日。事实上,生日蛋糕上严格来说还需要多加几支蜡烛,因为光明之城(巴黎的别称)很有可能是在公元前250年左右建立的。
