The Smelliest cities on the planet

全球十大“气味之城”

10. Dallas

达拉斯

Cities, like people, have their own smell, their own body odors and perfumes

that

take

on

personalities.

Dallas

is

one

of

the

strangest

scents

I

have

ever

encountered. Highways of strip malls and gas stations and exit signs. Insanely

wide

streets.

It's

very

New

World-smelling.

It

almost

has

a

non-scent

scent.

Like many cities, you get concrete, car exhaust, and dust. If you really focus,

you

can

pick

up

on

the

nearly

undetectable

Texas

live

oak.

It's

best

during

thunderstorms,

though.

The

crisp

smell

of

lightning

and

rain

and

vast

flat

space pervades and takes on a three-dimensional quality.

城 市和人一样，

有着它们自己独特的气味和特点。

达拉斯的气味是 我遇到的最奇

特气味之一。

大商场和加油站和高速公路的出口标 志，

异常宽阔的街道，

都带着

新世界的 气息。

它几乎有一种没有气味的气味。

和很多城市一样，

你闻得到混凝

土、汽车尾气和粉尘。如果认真感受，你能嗅到微不可闻 的德克萨斯橡树，但在

雷雨天气时效果最佳。

闪电、

< p>
雨和巨大的空间互相交织，

呈现出一种十分清晰的

清脆气味。

9. London

伦敦

I agree with Samuel Johnson's oft-quoted

is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford,

able to afford London is no small feat, if you just walk the streets, the scent of

the city, at least, is free. Mist, rain, peppermint, wet pavement. You can smell

the

Thames

and

leather

seats

and

aged

Persian

rugs.

Thank

Christ,

there's

much less cigarette fumes these days. Some people complain that London is a

gray scent, but what they smell is actually the opalescent energy of Britain.

我同意塞缪尔·约翰逊经常引用的一句话——“一个人如果厌倦了伦敦，那他就

厌倦了生活；

因为伦敦有人生能赋予的一切。

”虽然在伦敦的生 活需要大笔的开

支，如果你仅仅走在街上，至少城市的气味——雾、雨、薄荷以及潮湿路 面是

免费的。

你能闻到泰晤士河、

真皮 座椅以及老化的波斯地毯的味道。

值得庆幸的

是，这些天的香烟 味少了很多。有些人抱怨说，伦敦的味道十分灰暗，但他们闻

到的实际上是来自英国的乳 白色能量。

I was only in Mombasa for an afternoon, and what struck me was the scent of

rough terra cotta baked by the sun, and a dry-ish tropical air that is common

in

February

when

I

was

there.

I'm

told

the

smell

radically

intensifies

in

the

summer when the rains come and things are more green, although Mombasa

is

never

apparently

lush.

One

of

my

strongest

sense

memories

was

of

the

four-bare-walled

stores

the

Mijikendas

and

Swahilis

kept.

They

used

fluorescent lights, so they had that distinct metallic, old-ish smell places that

use

fluorescents

always

have.

I

could

also

detect

palm

oil,

the

cement

dust

from

the

streets,

and

these

strange

spices

I

had

never

smelled

and

haven't

smelled since.

< p>
我在肯尼亚蒙巴萨只停留了一个下午，

晒制而成的陶器的气味给我留下了深 刻的

印象，时值二月的干热空气也十分常见。我了解到在雨季来临之前气味会扩大，

城市中的绿色也更加鲜明，

尽管平时的蒙巴萨的植被丝毫不茂盛。< /p>

我最强烈的感

官记忆之一当地人开的四面裸墙的店铺，

< p>
他们使用荧光灯，

所以便有着独特的金

属气息。使 用荧光灯的地方总是充斥着老旧的气息。我还能在街上闻到棕榈油、

水泥粉尘的味道，这 些奇怪的香料我从未在其他地方遇到。

7. Mumbai

孟买

I have no patience for the whiny American fear of strong smells. Suck it up.

Otherwise

you'll miss out on Mumbai, which is one of the most intense and

rewarding olfactory experiences on Earth. It's kind of like Avatar for your nose.

Everywhere you turn, the thick, penetrating scent of unfiltered motor exhaust

and

water

in

gutters

lingers.

There's

the

salty

smell

of

ocean

mixed

with

tropical rot, air conditioning, and frying palm oil. And, it's India, so your nose

also picks up on incense and every spice imaginable

—

cinnamon, cardamom,

clove. It's the smell of a vibrant city on the move.

我非常不理解美国人对浓烈味 道的抱怨。

用力呼吸，

否则你就会错过在地球上气

味最浓烈的嗅觉之旅目的地——孟买。就像鼻子的化身。无论去往何处，扑面

而来的都是未经过滤的发动机废气和废水的厚重又极具穿透性的气息。

海水的咸

味混合着热带腐朽的味道，还有空调、煎炸棕榈油的气味。而且，这里是印度，

< br>所以你的鼻子同时闻得到焚香味道，以及任何穷极想象的香料——肉桂，豆蔻，

丁 香等。这是一个充满活力的移动城市特有的气息。

6. Bogot

á

波哥大

Latin America smells of the 1950s; for instance, stroll around the Recoleta in

Buenos Aires, and it's like time travel. (For the record, though, I wasn't alive

then). Along with that mid-twentieth century smell, Bogot

á

's aroma is like a

new

car,

concrete,

and

aftershave

—

a

product

of

the

bustling

downtown

business district. It's strange but you can also detect the altitude

—

8,612 feet

above sea level

—

because of the exotic wind, rain, and greenery that rises from

the Andes in the East.

拉丁美洲的 气味与二十世纪五十年代十分相似；

比如在布宜诺斯艾利斯的雷克莱

塔漫步时，就如同一场时光旅行。

（当然，那时我还没出生）

。波哥大充斥着二十

世纪中期的气息，就像新车、混凝土、须后水的混杂气味，非常奇 异。但是由于
