阿陀斯位于希腊海岸,占据着长40英里、宽4英里的圣山半岛, 有国中之“国”之称。现在,岛上有 “城镇”11个,居民1.5万余人,其中修道士900多人,几十座大小不等、式样各异的修道院依山而建。阿陀斯使人感兴趣的除了那些古老的修道院,还有“女人禁入” 的规定。据悉,自1060年以来,阿陀斯制定了“禁止女人上岛”的法律,成了名副其实的“男人国”。这 Athos is located on the coast of Greece, occupying a 40-mile long, 4-mile-wide Holy Mountain Peninsula, known as the “country”. Now, there are 11 “towns and cities” on the island, with more than 15,000 inhabitants, including over 900 monks and dozens of monasteries of different sizes and different styles. Atos is of interest to all those ancient monasteries, as well as “women are forbidden”. It is reported that since 1060, Athos has enacted a law that “prohibits women from going to the island” and has become a veritable “man’s country.” This
