  V: Fine, thanks! Sam, how about your holiday?

  V:很好,谢谢!萨姆,你假期过得怎么样?

  S: It’s wonderful! I had a trip to Britain with my attracted by the University of Oxford.

  S:棒极了!我和爸爸妈妈去英国旅游了。说实话,我真是被牛津大学深深地吸 引了。

  V: 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.

  V:真的吗?自从我知道牛津大学是英语世界历史最悠久的大学后,我就一直想 去那里。

  S: 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.

  S:牛津大学绝对是值得一去的地方,到处都是宏伟壮观的古建筑。但是,牛津 最吸引我的并不是它的建筑,而是一种在苦难中依然顽强挺立的百折不挠的 精神。

  V: I'm confused. What makes you say that?

  V:我很困惑。你为什么那么说呢?

  S: 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.

  S:牛津大学的历史是非常曲折的。牛津城的市民和大学的学生们自牛津建校以 来就冲突不断,有几次学校差点就倒闭了。我记得学校曾经两次停课,一次 是在1209年,还有一次是在1355年。

  V: 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.

  V:噢,我曾经听说过发生在1355年修士节那天的暴乱。它可以说是牛津历史上 最不堪回首的事件了。

  S:也许吧!但是,1833年爆发的牛津运动也对牛津大学的发展产生了巨大的影 响。它是一场要求重振英国国教的宗教运动。

  V; 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.

  V:幸运的是,牛津大学还是不断成长,最后发展成为了世界级的顶尖学府。顺 便问一句,牛津大学具体是什么时候建成的?有人说它有800多年的历史, 又有人说有900多年。

  S: 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.

  S:事实上,这所大学并没有确切的建校日期。但是,早在1096年教学就以某 些形式在牛津存在了。虽然众灵学院和大学学院都不断声称他们有证据表明 教学活动早在825年前就存在于牛津大学了,但是这并设有被公众所接受。

  V: 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.

  V:哦,我明白了。那你见到英国最古老的博物馆了吗?我曾经在一本书中看到过, 好像叫阿什莫尔博物馆。

  S: 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.

  S:是的,我见过!它的全名叫阿什莫尔艺术和考古学博物馆,在博蒙特街上。它 也是全世界第一个大学博物馆,该博物馆最古老的建筑建于1678-1683年间。

  V:真棒!那你看到阿弗列之宝了吗?就是英国电视剧《摩斯侦探》里面那个被 盜的珠宝。

  S: 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!

  S:嗯,我看到了。它大概6厘米长,是用金银细线装饰的纯金制品,里面镶嵌 着一块光洁透亮的水晶,水晶下面是一块景泰蓝的小装饰板。漂亮极了!

  V: I'm so eager to see it with my own eyes!
