Pakistan, 1985

Mountain polo players take part in a practice match at Chitral Polo Field in northwestern Pakistan. This game, arguably Pakistan's favorite sport, differs dramatically from the European version. In mountain polo, six players instead of four compete on a longer, narrower field. And the near absence of rules encourages a rowdy, fast-paced, frequently violent clash.

巴基斯坦,1985
山地马球玩家在巴基斯坦西北部的Chitral马球场举行训练赛。这项运动作为巴基斯坦人最喜爱的运动，与欧洲的版本有极大不同：不是4个而是6个运动员在一个狭长的场地上进行比赛。近似没有的比赛规则鼓励了粗暴、快节奏以及频繁的暴力冲突

Europe, 1995
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
The Orient Express stretches elegantly along a length of track somewhere in Europe. This famously luxurious train line had its first run in 1883 traveling from Paris to Giurgiu, Romania. The line was extended to Constantinople (later Istanbul) in 1889. The route ran until 1977, and several short-run trains have since used parts of the original route under the name Orient Express. The last of these is the Paris-Vienna route, which will shut down for good when a high-speed line opens in June of 2007.

欧洲,1995
欧洲某处，东方快车沿着长长的铁道线伸展出优美的曲线。这条著名的豪华铁道线于1883年首次通车，连接了巴黎、朱尔朱[罗马尼亚南部城市]以及罗马尼亚，并于1889延伸到君士坦丁堡(后来的伊斯坦布尔)。这条铁路线一直运行到1977年，后来还有一些短途线路还在沿用东方快车线的原线路。这些线路的最后存在一部分是巴黎-维也纳的一段，并将于2007年6月被新建成的高速铁路所代替。

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 1999
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
A cluster of ornate umbrellas enlivens a dreary day in Addis Ababa as a crowd of people lines up outside a church.

At 8,000 feet (2,400 meters) above sea level, Ethiopia’s capital city is the highest in Africa. The population is almost evenly split between Christians, living in the highlands, and Muslims inhabiting the lowlands.

一群人在教堂外面排成长队，而一大丛绚烂的花伞使Addis Abab沉闷的一天活泼起来。埃塞俄比亚的首都是非洲最高的城市-海拔2400米。基督教人口（住在高地）与穆斯林人口（住在低地）各占总人口数的一半。

Honduras, 1993
Photograph by David Alan Harvey
The lush rain forests of northern Honduras are home to over 700 species of birds. Between 800 and 1,200 years ago, the great Mesoamerican Olmec civilization claimed this stretch of rain forest. At its height, the "mother culture" of the New World spanned as far north as Mexico City and as far south as Honduras.

洪都拉斯(拉美国家),1993
这片洪都拉斯北部的茂密雨林是超过700种鸟类的家。在大约800到1200年以前，伟大的奥尔麦克文明(Mesoamerican Olmec)拥有这片雨林，在其鼎盛时期，这个新世界的“母文明”自北向南从墨西哥一直延伸到洪都拉斯。

All are part of the opulent Summer Palace in western Beijing, a summer retreat built in the mid-1700s for Qing Dynasty imperial rulers.
