And we see this in works of art, in Dutch painting.

我们在这幅荷兰的画作之中可以看到
The seventeenth century gave rise

十七世纪突然
to a great vogue of winter scenes

风行起冬日风情的画作
that you don't really see in the modern Netherlands,

在现在的荷兰你再也见不到这种景象了
when the canals froze in the seventeenth century

那个时候运河冰寒冰封冻
and people were able to skate on them.

人们甚至可以在上面溜冰
And there were many other examples of winter scenes of painting.

还有很多描绘冬日风情的绘画例子
This was how cold it was in the seventeenth century.

这就说明十七世纪有多冷
Indeed, it swept all of Europe.

事实上寒潮横扫欧洲
The River Thames froze in London.

伦敦的泰晤士河冻住了
The Baltic froze, so that one could travel

连波罗的海都被冰封所以人们可以
by sled from Poland to Sweden.

从波兰一路坐雪橇到瑞典
