【奇闻】挪威小镇第一次在冬天看到太阳
Rjukan residents see winter sun for 1st time
据英国《每日邮报》最新报道，位于挪威中部的尤坎镇在周围的山上兴建了一组大型反光镜。利用这组镜子，小镇3000多居民将在今年秋冬季，第一次享受到温暖的阳光。
Residents of the small Norwegian town of Rjukan have finally seen daylight in autumn. Tucked in between steep mountains, the town is normally in shadow for almost six months a year. But on Wednesday faint rays from the winter sun for the first time reached the town’s market square, thanks to three 17-square-meter mirrors placed on a mountainside.
Like much of Scandinavia, the town of Rjukan normally freezes throughout the winter, but on Wednesday it was 7 degrees Celsius.
The plan to illuminate Rjukan was drawn up 100 years ago by the Norwegian industrialist Sam Eyde, who built the town for workers at a hydroelectric plant at the foot of a nearby waterfall.

半年不见太阳的小镇
挪威地处高纬度，约有1/3的国土处于北极圈内，境内主要是高原和高山，对于挪威人来说，阳光可算是稀缺资源。该国中部的工业小镇尤坎尤为如此。尤坎镇距离首都奥斯陆以西175公里处，人口约3500人，面积只有3平方公里，小镇四面环山，其中最高峰盖于斯塔峰海拔1883米。由于高山遮挡，小镇每年9月至次年3月都照不到阳光，如果要晒太阳，人们不得不坐缆车到山顶。
尤坎镇政府经过5年的讨论，决定投资500万挪威克朗（约合人民币511万元），在高出小镇450米的山腰上安装3面超级反光镜。《每日邮报》报道说，这些反光镜一字排开，由电脑控制，依靠太阳能电池板提供动力，自动调整镜面追踪太阳，将阳光反射到镇中心广场上。
工程项目协调员耶斯特恩·哈根说，反光镜装置预计将在9月完工，届时来镇中心广场活动的人可以尽情享受日光浴。不过，由于光照范围有限，哈根认为，一些人还是会乘缆车上山去晒太阳。
