關于牛津和劍橋,我們實在有太多太多要去參觀的理由。
其一:中國學生的名校情結。國內(nèi)北大清華每年暑假就儼然變成中小學生們的朝圣地。而今面對世界級的學府又怎能錯過?
其二:名人效應??禈?、流水、徐志摩和林徽因的愛情……任何一個中國人漫步在劍橋的石板路上都會忍不住吟誦那流傳于世的“輕輕的我走了……”
其三:電影效應。《哈利波特》、《黃金羅盤》、《牛津迷案》……近年來影視作品似乎對牛津小鎮(zhèn)情有獨鐘。不過這里歷史感厚重的建筑的確也擔得起光影流轉。
注:把劍橋牛津并在一起介紹更多還是因為他們的名聲一樣響亮。絕不表示他們在地理位置上的相鄰。如果你想要一天之內(nèi)參觀完這雙份的去處,除非你是超人,用飛的。源
TOP 4: Oxford
The University of Oxford is the oldest university in the English-speaking world. It is first mentioned in 12th century records. Oxford's earliest colleges were University College (1249), Balliol (1263) and Merton (1264). These colleges were established at a time when Europeans were starting to translate the writings of Greek philosophers. These writings challenged European ideology – inspiring scientific discoveries and advancements in the arts – as society began seeing itself in a new way. These colleges at Oxford were supported by the Church in hopes to reconcile Greek Philosophy and Christian Theology。
Cambridge is best known as the home of the University of Cambridge, one of the world's premier universities. In 1209, students escaping from hostile townspeople in Oxford fled to Cambridge and formed a university there[4] The oldest college that still exists, Peterhouse, was founded in 1284. One of the most impressive buildings in Cambridge, King's College Chapel, was begun in 1446 by King Henry VI. The project was completed in 1515 during the reign of King Henry VIII。
Lyme Park is a large estate located south of Disley, Cheshire, England. It consists of a mansion house surrounded by formal gardens, in a deer park in the Peak District National Park. The house is the largest in Cheshire,and a Grade I listed building. The estate was granted to Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346 and passed to the Leghs of Lyme by marriage in 1388. It remained in the possession of the Legh family until 1946 when it was given to the National Trust。
The house dates from the latter part of the 16th century. Modifications were made to it in the 1720s by Giacomo Leoni, who retained some of the Elizabethan features and added others, particularly the courtyard and the south range. It is difficult to classify Leoni's work at Lyme, as it contains elements of both Palladian and Baroque styles.[5] Further modifications were made by Lewis Wyatt in the 19th century, especially to the interior. Formal gardens were created and developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The house, gardens and park have been used as locations for filming and they are open to the public。

如果有人把巴斯封為英國最美麗的小城,那真是當之無愧的。這個坐落在英國南部的小城可謂是得天獨厚:擁有羅馬時期的溫泉和喬治時代的半月型建筑,從古至今都是備受英國人追捧的度假勝地。不知道大家有沒有看過去年的電影《公爵夫人》?其中有一段就是他們到巴斯取景的。也的確是反映那個時代貴族們的生活習慣,巴斯就是他們每年固定要去小住的地方。著名女作家簡•奧斯汀也曾在這里生活過幾年,如今城里還有她的紀念館。
另外,如果你去到這里,還有一家傳說中“全英國最好吃的薯條”不能錯過。具體地址不用知道,到了當?shù)仉S便找個人來問就好了。
The city of Bath was first established as a spa resort with the Latin name, Aquae Sulis ("the waters of Sulis" 水神蘇黎士) by the Romans in AD 43 although verbal tradition suggests that Bath was known before then.They built baths and a temple on the surrounding hills of Bath in the valley of the River Avon around hot springs, which are the only ones naturally occurring in the United Kingdom。
Edgar was crowned king of England at Bath Abbey in 973. Much later, it became popular as a spa resort during the Georgian era, which led to a major expansion that left a heritage of exemplary Georgian architecture crafted from Bath Stone. As City of Bath, the city became a World Heritage Site in 1987. The city has a variety of theatres, museums, and other cultural and sporting venues, which have helped to make it a major centre for tourism, with over one million staying visitors and 3.8 million day visitors to the city each year。
The city has two universities and several schools and colleges. There is a large service sector, and growing information and communication technologies and creative industries, providing employment for the population of Bath and the surrounding area。
