欣赏一首英国民谣《绿袖子》

Green Sleeves (《绿袖子》)是一首英国民谣，在伊丽莎白女王时代就已广为流传。这首民谣的旋律非常古典而优雅，是一首描写对爱情感到忧伤的歌曲。莎士比亚的鹅毛笔，不止一次忘情地写到它。

我思断肠，伊人不臧。Alas my love, you do me wrong 弃我远去，抑郁难当。To cast me off discourteously 我心相属，日久月长。I have loved you all so long 与卿相依，地老天荒。Delighting in your company 绿袖招兮，我心欢朗。Green sleeves was all my joy 绿袖飘兮，我心痴狂。Green sleeves was my delight 绿袖摇兮，我心流光。Green sleeves was my heart of gold 绿袖永兮，非我新娘。And who but my Lady Green sleeves

We all know that the 30th Olympic Games will be held in London.

What is London famous for? Big Ben is a great clock high up in a tower of the parliament(议会) building. This is the building in London where laws are made. The people of London like to see Big Ben's friendly faces. They like to hear the chimes (钟声) every15 minutes. They like to hear  the big bell striking on the hour. BONG！ BONG！ BONG! Radio sends the sound of the big clock to the rest of the world. The BBC began to broadcast the chimes in 1924. Ever since， Big Ben has been a radio star. Big Ben's story started in 1834. In that year the old Parliament building burned down.  Its clock tower crashed to the ground. There had to be a new building-and a new clock. Its clock tower crashed to the ground. There had to be a new building-and a new clock. Plans were made. They called for a "King of Clocks， the biggest and best in the world". So the clock had to be big. And it had to keep very good time. The big clock was made in two years. Five more years went by before the clock tower was finished， then the four bells for the chimes were brought into the tower. And at last the giant (巨大的) hour bell was put in place. It rang out for the first time on July 11， 1859. This great bell had to have a name. A meeting of Parliament was called to pick one. The talk about names went on and on. Then Benjamin Hall got up to speak. He was a big man that the others liked. By this time they were all tired. Someone shouted， "Why not call it Big Ben？" Everybody laughed， and the meeting broke up. The name Big Ben came from then on.  Big Ben

London Tower Bridge Not much is known about the earliest London Bridge although it’s location is thought to be near the present one. The second bridge a wooden one existing in Saxon times seems to have given rise to the nursery rhyme ‘London Bridge is falling down’ which it did in 1014. In 1176 the first stone bridge was constructed. Houses sprung up on both sides of the bridge and stood until it was pulled down in 1831, making way for a more elegant, classic structure. This bridge was replaced in 1967 as it could no longer cope with the amount of traffic. The present London Bridge is more 100 feet wide. The London Bridge preceding the current one was bought by the McCulloch Oil Corporation of California, which reconstructed it at Lake Havasu City, in a corner of America’s Arizona Desert. Rumour has it that McCulloch’s thought they were buying the much more spectacular Tower Bridge. The Construction of Tower Bridge began in 1885 and it was opened 9yrs later by Edward VII the then Prince of Wales, Amidst pomp and ceremony. It is the only bridge in London that can be raised to allow ships to pass. Since the Thames is no longer used much as a trade and shipping route, the complex lifting mechanism is only used 4 or 5 times a week. The Tower bridge is often mistaken for London Bridge which is dull in comparison.

Hyde park Hyde Park is one of London's finest landscapes and covers over 350 acres. Henry VIII acquired Hyde Park from the monks of Westminster Abbey in 1536; he and his court were often to be seen on thundering steeds in the hunt for deer. It remained a private hunting ground until James I came to the throne and permitted limited access. The King appointed a ranger, or keeper, to take charge of the park. It was Charles I who changed the nature of the park completely. He had the Ring (north of the present Serpentine boathouses) created and in 1637 opened the park to the general public. In 1665, the year of the Great Plague, many citizens of London fled the City to camp on Hyde Park, in the hope of escaping the disease. Towards the end of the 17th century William III moved his court to Kensington Palace. He found that his walk to St James's was very dangerous, so he had 300 oil lamps installed, creating the first artificially lit highway in the country. This route later became known as Rotten Row, which is a corruption of the French 'Route de Roi' or King's Road. Queen Caroline, wife of George II, had extensive renovations carried out and in the 1730s had The Serpentine, a lake of some 11.34 hectares, created. Hyde Park became a venue for national celebrations. In 1814 the Prince Regent organized fireworks to mark the end of the Napoleonic Wars, in 1851 (during Queen Victoria's reign) the Great Exhibition was held and in 1977 a Silver Jubilee Exhibition was held in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's 25 years on the throne. In 1866 Edmund Beales' Reform League marched on Hyde Park where great scuffles broke out between the League and the police. Eventually the Prime Minister allowed the meetings to continue unchallenged and since 1872, people have been allowed to speak at Speaker's Corner on any subject they want to. The Lido was set up by George Lansbury, the first Commissioner of Works, in 1930 and in warm weather is used for sunbathing and swimming.

http://www.londoneye.com/flash/build/eye_create_launcher.html The British Airways London Eye is a truly amazing feat of design and construction. Originally conceived by architects David Marks and Julia Barfield as an entry for a millennium landmark competition, the project took six years and the expertise of hundreds of people from five European countries to turn it into a reality. It would be the largest observation wheel ever built and the only cantilevered structure of its kind in the world. It would also be the largest structure ever hoisted into a vertical position in one operation. Over 1,700 people in five countries would be involved in building it. The population of an entire alpine village would test the embarkation procedures. Almost every component and construction technique would have to be invented from scratch. Glass for the capsules would have to be double-curved and laminated. And transportation of the components would take on a scale reminiscent of pyramid building: delivery would have to be timed to co-ordinate with tides in the River Thames, so that large parts could be safely negotiated under London's bridges. Clearance under Southwark Bridge would be as little as 40 centimetres. One of the world's tallest floating cranes would be needed to lift the massive quarter sections of the rim onto eight temporary platforms floating on the river. Each of the 32 passenger capsules would have to be designed to be just within the maximum width allowed on the French roads over which they would make their way to the English Channel and up the Thames. And it would all happen in just 16 months.... Today, the British Airways London Eye has become, quite literally, the way the world sees London. It is one of the most spectacular and popular attractions in the world, drawing visitors from far and wide. Its success is unquestionable, as is its popularity with tourists and Londoners alike. Yet it was conceived, designed and built against considerable odds. Of all the remarkable facts about the London Eye, perhaps the most astonishing is that it was ever built at all. London Eye
