牛津大學(xué)有一段怎樣的非常曲折歷史？英國最古老的博物館是什么
來聽今天的講解:
A:Hi，Vivian, how are you?
喂，維維安，你好嗎？
B:Fine, thanks! Sam, how about your holiday?
很好，謝謝！薩姆，你假期過得怎么樣？
A:It’s wonderful! I had a trip to Britain with my attracted by the University of Oxford.
棒極了！我和爸爸媽媽去英國旅游了。說實(shí)話，我真是被牛津大學(xué)深深地吸引了。
B:Really? I’ve been meaning to go out there for many years, since I knew that Oxford was the earliest university in the English-speaking World.
真的嗎？自從我知道牛津大學(xué)是英語世界歷史最悠久的大學(xué)后，我就一直想去那里。
A:Absolutely, it is a place worthy to visit. You can see majestic and splendid old buildings everywhere. However, I was moved by its tough and tensile spirit, even at the time of great tribulation, rather than its buildings.
牛津大學(xué)絕對是值得一去的地方，到處都是宏偉壯觀的古建筑。但是，牛津最吸引我的并不是它的建筑，而是一種在苦難中依然頑強(qiáng)挺立的百折不撓的精神。
B:I'm confused. What makes you say that?
我很困惑。你為什么那么說呢？
A:Well, the history of the University was extremely tortuous. There are conflicts between townspeople and university students at the very beginning of its foundation. It almost came to an end for several times. I remembered that teaching had suspended for two times, one was in 1209 and the other in 1355.
牛津大學(xué)的歷史是非常曲折的。牛津城的市民和大學(xué)的學(xué)生們自牛津建校以來就沖突不斷，有幾次學(xué)校差點(diǎn)就倒閉了。我記得學(xué)校曾經(jīng)兩次停課，一次 是在1209年，還有一次是在1355年。
B:Oh, I have heard about the riot happened on the St. Scholastica Day in 1355. It can be considered as the most notorious② event in the history of Oxford.
噢，我曾經(jīng)聽說過發(fā)生在1355年修士節(jié)那天的暴亂。它可以說是牛津歷史上最不堪回首的事件了。
A:Maybe! However, the Oxford Movement broke up in 1833 also had an immense impact on the development of the University. It was a religious movement arguing for the recovery of traditional aspects of the Christian faith.
也許吧！但是，1833年爆發(fā)的牛津運(yùn)動(dòng)也對牛津大學(xué)的發(fā)展產(chǎn)生了巨大的影響。它是一場要求重振英國國教的宗教運(yùn)動(dòng)。
B:Luckily, the University of Oxford grew up eventually to the world’s leading academic institute. By the way, what’s the concrete date of its foundation? Someone said that it was built up for more than 800 years, while someone stated for some 900 years.
幸運(yùn)的是，牛津大學(xué)還是不斷成長，最后發(fā)展成為了世界級(jí)的頂尖學(xué)府。順便問一句，牛津大學(xué)具體是什么時(shí)候建成的？有人說它有800多年的歷史，又有人說有900多年。
A:Actually，the University doesn't have a clear date of foundation. However, teaching existed there in some forms as far back as 1096. Although both All Souls College and University College have repeated claimed that they own documents, which provide that teaching in Oxford started in the year 825, it was not accepted by the public.
事實(shí)上，這所大學(xué)并沒有確切的建校日期。但是，早在1096年教學(xué)就以某些形式在牛津存在了。雖然眾靈學(xué)院和大學(xué)學(xué)院都不斷聲稱他們有證據(jù)表明 教學(xué)活動(dòng)早在825年前就存在于牛津大學(xué)了，但是這并設(shè)有被公眾所接受。
B:Oh，I see. Have you ever visited the oldest museum in the UK? I caught sight of it in a book, and it seems to be called the Ashmolean Museum.
哦，我明白了。那你見到英國最古老的博物館了嗎？我曾經(jīng)在一本書中看到過，好像叫阿什莫爾博物館。
A:Yes, I have! Its full name is Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, which is on Beaumont Street. It is also the world’s first university museum, whose first building was built between 1678 and 1683.
是的，我見過！它的全名叫阿什莫爾藝術(shù)和考古學(xué)博物館，在博蒙特街上。它也是全世界第一個(gè)大學(xué)博物館，該博物館最古老的建筑建于1678-1683年間。
B:Great! Did you see the Alfred Jewel, the one stolen in the British television series Inspector Morsel
真棒！那你看到阿弗列之寶了嗎？就是英國電視劇《摩斯偵探》里面那個(gè)被盜的珠寶。
A:Yes, I did. It is about 6 centimeters long, made of filigreed gold, enclosing a highly polished piece of quartz crystal beneath which is set a cloisonne enamel plaque. The Jewel can not be more beautiful!
嗯，我看到了。它大概6厘米長，是用金銀細(xì)線裝飾的純金制品，里面鑲嵌著一塊光潔透亮的水晶，水晶下面是一塊景泰藍(lán)的小裝飾板。漂亮極了！
B:I'm so eager to see it with my own eyes!
真想親眼目睹一下這個(gè)珍寶??！
A:Well, I have taken lots of pictures, would you like to have a_ look at them?
我拍了很多.照片，你想不想看看？
B:Of course! I wonder if it is true that the jeweliy had been stolen.
當(dāng)然啦！我想知道這個(gè)絕世珍寶是不是真地被盜過。
A:No. Though thieves came into the museum in 1999, it was not lost. They aimed to steal a painting.
沒有。雖然有小愉在1999年混入了博物館，但是它并設(shè)有丟失。小愉的目 標(biāo)是一liBo
B: So lucky. It’s to be regretted to lose such a precious jewelry.
太幸運(yùn)了。這么珍貴的東西，丟了就太可惜了。
A:Quite right. Let’s make an appointment to my home to look at those photos!
是啊。那我們約個(gè)時(shí)間到我家去看照片吧！
B:Well, what about tomorrow afternoon? We don’t have class then.
呃，那明天下午怎么樣？明天下午我設(shè)課。
A: Ok! I’m looking forward to your coming on time! See you then!
好??！期待你如約到來！到時(shí)見！
B: See you!
再見！
