戈雷岛位于塞内加尔海岸不远处，与达喀尔隔海相望。从15世纪到19世纪，戈雷岛一直都是非洲海岸最大的奴隶贸易中心，历史上这里曾先后被葡萄牙人、荷兰人、英国人和法国人占领过。在戈雷岛上，既能看到奴隶住的简陋屋子，也能找到奴隶贸易商居住的优雅庭院，两类建筑物形成鲜明对比。今天的戈雷岛，依然能使人们记起那段人剥削人的历史，这里同时也是人们消除历史积怨、求得和解的神圣殿堂。

The island of Gorée lies off the coast of Senegal, opposite Dakar. From the 15th to the 19th century, it was the largest slave-trading centre on the African coast. Ruled in succession by the Portuguese, Dutch, English and French, its architecture is characterized by the contrast between the grim slave-quarters and the elegant houses of the slave traders. Today it continues to serve as a reminder of human exploitation and as a sanctuary for reconciliation.
