The fluttering of 64 kilometers of orange bunting and a hammer driving a nail
into a wall to hold up orange tarps are the sounds of a Dutch summer of
soccer in a normally drab suburban street in The Hague.
在海牙一條通常缺乏色彩的城郊街道上，64公里長的橙色彩旗飄揚拍動，以及用錘
子將釘子打進牆上來支撐橘色防水布，就是荷蘭夏季足球的聲音。

The Marktweg is one of several streets in the Netherlands that get an all-
encompassing orange facelift during European Championships and World
Cups when the national team — known as Oranje after the Dutch royal family
and the color of their shirts — are looking to add to the Euro it won 36 years
ago.

「市場街」是荷蘭在歐洲足球錦標賽和世界盃期間改頭換面變橙色的街道之一，這
段時間國家隊——以荷蘭王室及其球衣顏色命名的「橙衣軍團」知名——希望替它
36年前曾贏得的歐洲盃添色。

For two months leading up to Euro 2024 that starts on Friday in Germany, a
dedicated team of up to 10 volunteers — more in the weekends — has been
decorating their street, creating not just an orange overload, but also a sense
of community.

2024年歐洲盃週五於德國展開前的2個月期間，一支由多達10名志工組成的專門團
隊——週末人數更多——一直在裝飾他們的街道，不僅創造了爆滿橙色，還營造了
一股社區意識。

Houses are plastered with orange tarps and banners, street lights and trees
are wrapped in orange, garbage containers are — you guessed it — orange,
while litter bins are red, white and blue, the equally patriotic colors of the
Dutch flag.

房屋上貼滿了橙色防水布和橫幅，路燈與樹木都包成橘色，大型垃圾箱是——你猜
對了——橙色，而垃圾桶是紅、白、藍，與荷蘭國旗一樣愛國的顏色。
