Visit temples dominated by stone, such as the Kiyomizadera, one of the most revered in Japan.
参观以石头为主的寺庙，清水寺——日本最受敬仰的寺庙之一。
And others crafted from ancient timbers, such as Tofukuji,
另一些由千年木材制成的寺庙，如东福寺，
loved for its covered bridges which span valleys filled with maple and spruce.
它那横跨满是枫树云杉河谷的桥梁最为人所爱。
Water is an integral and unifying element in all of Kyoto's places of worship.
水是京都所有朝拜地必不可少的元素。
At the Kodai Temple, let your thoughts drift across a raked gravel garden which represents the infinite ocean.
在高台寺，让你的思绪漂浮过代表无尽海洋的斜砾石花园。
For a water feature with a difference, visit Nanzenji,
想体验另一种不同的水景就参观南禅寺，
and rest beneath the arches of a 19th-century aqueduct, which still supplies much of the city's water.
在19世纪的高架渠下休息，如今它仍然为这座城市供应着水源。
But of all Kyoto's temples, nothing quite compares to Fushimi Inari-taisha.
但在所有京都寺庙中，没有哪一座能与伏见稻荷大社相比拟。
Dedicated to the fox spirit, Inari, this temple complex spans an entire mountainside.
祭祀狐仙，伊纳里，这座寺庙群横跨整个山坡。
From the main shrine, climb an extraordinary two and a half mile path lined with 10,000 tori gates.
从大殿，爬上排有万座环形门的2.5英里长的通道。
Along the way there are thousands of smaller shrines
沿途有着上千个小型神殿
where you can pay your respects or simply catch your breath, before arriving at the summit two hours later.
在这里你可以进行参拜或是休息喘气，距离山顶还有2个小时呢。
It's s not just within the streets and temples where you'll find old Kyoto.
旧京都不仅仅在街道和寺庙内。
You'll find it the palace grounds of Nijo Castle,
你还可以在二条古城堡宫殿内，
and in the fleeting cherry blossom season which reminds us of the preciousness of time.
在提醒我们时间珍贵的樱花盛开季节里找到旧京都的气息。
It resides amid the whispering leaves and the ethereal light of the Bamboo Forest of Arashiyama,
它存在于飘落的黄叶中，在京都嵯峨野竹林的圣光之中，
and in the Zen-like calm of the city's resident monkeys.
在城市如禅办平静的猴子居民之中。
You'll find old Kyoto in the rising steam of a communal dishes like shabu shabu,
你将在涮涮锅的腾腾热气中、
in the gentle pad of the rickshaw pullers' footsteps,
在人力车夫的温和脚垫中发现旧京都，
and it can certainly be found as evening falls and the city lights up like a living lantern.
当然也能在夜幕降临时、在城市灯光如灯笼闪耀时发现旧京都。
Perhaps it's then, beneath the glow of the city's lights, you'll realize that there is no old Kyoto.
也许就在那时，就在城市灯火的照耀之下，你将发现并没有什么旧京都。
Kyoto is timeless, it exists equally in the echoes of the past and in the ringtones of today.
京都是永恒的，是平衡地存在于过去的回响以及今天的铃声之中。
As the world rushes by on the river of time, Kyoto is but a series of perfect moments, each to be savored and enjoyed.
世界在时间长河中流逝，京都不过是一系列的完美时刻，每一刻都值得细细品味和享受。
Kyoto is Kyoto, here, now and forever.
京都只是京都，无论此时此刻还是永恒。
