每年的10月3日,是荷兰莱顿城的解放日。我作为来自中国的访问学者,3年前有幸同莱顿人民一起度过了这个富有纪念意义的日子。这个解放日有其历史缘由。300多年前,西班牙军队对荷兰进行了大规模的武装入侵,攻下了不少城堡。尔后,侵略军长驱直入,于1573年兵临莱顿,把城团团围住,切断了城里与城外的一切联系。在内无粮草、外无救兵的情况下,数千人饿死,活下来的人亦身染重病。但莱顿人民拒绝臣服西班牙,拚死突围,还是杀不出一条血路。情况越来越危急。为使全城免遭毁于一旦,最后,荷兰奥伦治公爵下令挖开爱赛河的防堤,淹没了莱顿城周围的土

More than 300 years ago, the Spanish army conducted a large-scale armed invasion of the Netherlands and captured many castles. Afterwards, the aggressive forces marched straight into the city. In 1573, they came to Leyon to encircle the city and cut off all contact between the city and the outside of the city. Thousands of people starved to death and survivors were also seriously ill with no food or water supplies and no rescue troops outside. But Leyden people refused to surrender to Spain, desperate to break through, or kill no way out. The situation is getting more critical. In order to prevent the destruction of the whole city, finally, the Duke of Oronze, Holland, ordered the digging of the breakwater on the river of Assai and inundated the soil around Leiden
