比利时——历史名人的逃亡胜地

Karl Marx was forced to migrate to the Belgian capital in 1845 after being expelled from both Germany and France because of the political ideology he was spreading. From Belgium, he wrote together with Friedrich Engels, his Most famous book, the Communist Manifesto.
卡尔·马克思因其传播的政治意识形态而被德国和法国驱逐出境，他于1845年被迫移居比利时首都。马克思在比利时与弗里德里希·恩格斯一起撰写了他最著名的作品《共产党宣言》。

The author of Les Miserables, Victor Hugo also made Belgium his home. Hugo was not expelled from France, but as a defender of democracy, social justice and the abolition of the death penalty, he was a very serious opponent of Napoleon III. That's why he escaped from France and came to Brussels in 1851, where he stayed seven months at Grand Place. He then returned to Brussels in 1861 to write Les Miserables.
《悲惨世界》的作者维克多·雨果也在比利时安了家。雨果并未被驱逐出法国，但作为民主、社会正义和废除死刑的捍卫者，他强烈反对拿破仑（执政），因此他逃离了法国并于1851年来到了布鲁塞尔，并在布鲁塞尔大广场住了七个月。之后他于1861年回到了布鲁塞尔，并创作了《悲惨世界》。

Alexandre Dumas, the author of major works like The Count of Monte Cristo, was another famous author who lived in Brussels. Dumas moved to Brussels in 1851, the same year as his friend, Victor Hugo. Although he pretended he was forced to migrate for political reasons, the truth is he was facing prison in France because of debts, had no other option. Dumas lived in Boulevard de Waterloo for two years before reaching an agreement with his lenders and returning to Paris in 1853.
亚历山大·杜马斯是另一位在布鲁塞尔生活过的著名作家，他创作了《基督山伯爵》等经典著作。1851年杜马斯移居布鲁塞尔，而他的朋友维克多·雨果也于同一年移居布鲁塞尔。尽管杜马斯假装自己是出于政治原因而被迫移民，但事实上，他在法国因债务而面临牢狱之灾，其实是别无选择。杜马斯在滑铁卢大道住了两年，之后他与债权人达成协议，于1853年返回巴黎。

Probably the most influential man of the 20th century: Albert Einstein. Einstein, who was the mind behind major scientific discoveries, lived in Belgium on and off between 1902 and 1933. His last trip to Belgium was of the most significance. In 1933, Adolph Hitler was elected German Chancellor. While the Jews suffered from the first discriminatory measures, Albert Einstein, who was living in California, decided not to come back to Germany. He headed to Belgium, and stayed in Le Coq for six months with his wife, before going back to the USA indefinitely.
20世纪最有影响力的人可能就是阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦了。爱因斯坦提出了许多重大科学发现，在1902年至1933年间，爱因斯坦偶尔在比利时居住。他的最后一次比利时之行最为重要。1933年阿道夫·希特勒当选德国总理。当犹太人第一次遭到歧视性对待时，阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦决定不回德国了，当时他住在加利福尼亚。后来，他前往比利时，与妻子一起在勒高克住了六个月，然后从此移居美国。
