In this article we are going to tell you about one part of the big auto race from Russia to Georgia, to be more precise, about the Republic of Kalmykia and its capital – Elista.
此文讲述了俄罗斯到乔治亚汽车拉力大赛经过的一部分地方，准确的说，是卡尔梅克共和国及其首都埃里斯特。
The whole route of the auto race.
汽车拉力赛的这个路线图。
The landscapes on the way to Elista were quite boring and monotonous – fields, forests and watermelon street vendors…
去埃里斯特路上的景色乏味而单调-田野、森林和大街上出售西瓜的小贩
Entering the Republic of Kalmykia.
进入卡尔梅克共和国
And here is Elista itself.
这儿就是埃里斯特
Once, Elista held a Chess Olympiad, but it was very long ago…埃里斯特曾经举办过一届象棋奥运会，可那时很久以前的事情了
Clouds there are very nice!
云很好看。
Local citizens.
当地民众
Elista is considered to be the capital of chess. But actually, there is no great chessboard with beautiful fretted pieces – just a 5×5 meter field with cheap plastic chess pieces – like in average hotels in Turkey or Egypt…
埃里斯特被认为是象棋之都。但是事实是没有大棋盘和磨制的美丽棋子——只有5×5米的棋盘，廉价的棋子——和土耳其和埃及普通旅馆中的别无二致。
Elista's pride is the largest Buddhist temple in the republic – "the Golden Cloister of Buddha Shakjamuni" where the highest in Europe Buddha statue is situated.
让埃里斯特人的感到自豪的是他们拥有该共和国最大的佛庙——"释迦摩尼金色的寺院"，那儿有全欧洲最高大的佛像。
The temple was built 5 years ago and represents a gorgeous building, where public prayers, rituals and festive divine services are held.
佛像建于5年前，呈现了一个宏大的建筑，那儿是民众祈祷、举行仪式和节日祭祀活动的地方。
But the quality of the temple is quite low – some walls have not been completed yet, and somewhere tile is already peeling off…但是寺庙建筑质量很低，一些墙体尚未完工，有些地方瓷砖已经掉落。。。。。。
The worship hall with the 12-meters-high Buddha statue. The statue is covered with tinsel and incrusted with diamonds.
大殿有一座12米高的佛像。佛像金箔覆盖，镶嵌有钻石
The most honorable job in Kalmykia is welder! A welder will always find what to do – for example to weld weird constructions from pipes of different section.
在卡尔梅克最受尊敬的职业是焊工。焊工不愁没活干——如焊接不同部位的管子搭建奇异的建筑
Finally the trip to Kalmykia is over…
最后总算卡尔梅克之旅结束
