Bristol 布里斯托 Insert My name’s Rebecca and I was born in Bristol and lived there until I was 18 years old until I went to university. And still go back and visit quite frequently now because my family still live there. Andrea: You just heard there from Rebecca. Jean: Rebecca 是在英国的城市布里斯托出生的，18 岁之前都一直是在这座城市生活。 Andrea: She still goes there quite often because her family live there. Jean: 我想大家可能已经猜到我们今天《英国问答》节目的话题了，那就是坐落在英国西南部的这座城市 – 布里斯托。 Andrea: Hello. I’m Andrea. Jean: 大家好，我是董征。最近我们接到一位中国听众朋友给我们的来信，他想多了解一下布里斯托和坐落在这座城市的布里斯托大学。 Andrea: Bristol is 170 kilometers west of London and is England’s sixth most populated city. Jean: 布里斯托坐落在伦敦以西170 公里，是英国第六大人口城市。 Andrea: So how does it compare to London? Here’s Rebecca again. Insert It’s much smaller than London obviously. The pace of life is slower. Obviously there’s less traffic on the roads, which is nice – not always stuck in traffic jams. And it’s quite laid-back I guess, compared to the general pace of life in London. Jean: 所以布里斯托比伦敦要小很多，而整个城市的生活节奏也慢了许多。The pace of life is slower. Andrea: It also doesn’t have as much traffic. So you don’t get stuck in traffic jams. Generally it’s much more laid-back than London. Jean: Laid-back. 松弛自在的。 Andrea: Ok, so if I was a tourist, where would be interesting to visit in Bristol? Insert Most tourists would usually visit the Clifton suspension bridge which is probably what Bristol is most famous for, which was designed by Brunel – the famous engineer. And also the SS Great Britain, which was a steamship that was quite revolutionary at the time. The ship’s moored in the docks in Bristol so you can go and visit and look around the ship. There’s also a museum and Bristol Cathedral. St Mary Redcliffe is another really historic church. I think it’s about 7, 800 years old. Jean: 看来布里斯托好玩的地方还是不少的。 Andrea: The most famous is the Clifton suspension bridge designed by the famous engineer, Brunel. Jean: 还有叫做 SS Great Britain 号的轮船停泊在船坞。 Moored in the docks. Andrea: Rebecca says that it was quite revolutionary for its time. Jean: Revolutionary for its time 对当时的时代来说是很具革命性的。 Andrea: There are also some lovely churches to visit in Bristol. Jean: 布里斯托这座城市的历史也是很有意思的 – 在17 世纪，这里曾是英国一个著名的奴隶买卖港口。 Andrea: Even today you can find street names that reflect the slave trade. Jean: 这里有叫“白女士路”White Ladies Road 这个街道, 还有一条街叫 Black Boy Hill “黑男孩岗”。 Andrea: And you can still visit the Seven Stars pub where abolitionist, Thomas Clarkson collected information on the slave trade. Jean: 当时积极主张废除奴隶制的运动领袖 Thomas Clarkson 搜集情报的七星酒馆现在依然还伫立在这里。 Andrea: And then of course there is a very good university in Bristol. Listen to what Rebecca has to say about it. Insert Bristol University does have a reputation or at least did have a reputation of being one of the top universities. It tends to be all the Oxford and Cambridge rejects basically who go there! It used to be in the top 5 universities in the country so it’s got quite a good reputation academically. Jean: Rebecca 他说布里斯托大学是很有名望的。 A good reputation. Andrea: She says that it’s known for being the university that people go to when they don’t get into Oxford or Cambridge universities. Jean: 听Rebecca 说，很多报考牛津剑桥不成功的学生都会到布里斯托大学来。 Andrea: So it must be very difficult to get a place there. Jean: 听起来，布里斯托不仅适合大家来游览，也是个学习深造的好地方。说的我也想马上订票去布里斯托一游了！不过我们今天的节目时间又快到了，期待在下一期节目中继续为大家解答你们对英国提出的各种问题。 Now it’s goodbye from both of us at BBC Learning English. Andrea: Bye! 本文来源：https://www.dywdw.cn/63759d3b43323968011c9288.html
