剛剛過去的這個國慶假期很多國人去了新加坡旅游，請看本報昨日的報道： Singapore was a popular destination for Chinese tourists during the eight-day National Day holiday. With its efficient public transportation system, especially the metro, Singapore provides easy accessibility for travelers to explore all that this vibrant city-state has to offer. The iconic Merlion statue in downtown Singapore is always the first image that comes to mind. 報道中的Merlion就是“魚尾獅”，由mer (海洋，例如mermaid)和lion (獅子) 構成，傳說有位馬來王子在漁島上遇到一只獅子；1964年，范克里夫水族館館長Fraser Brunner為新加坡旅游局設計了“魚尾獅”的形象。 |
