英国生存指南:手把手带你游英国

2013-12-10来源:CNN

4. History
历史

Britain has so many ancient attractions, it's hard to know where to start.
英国有太多的古迹,不知道该从哪儿开始说起。

And if you do manage to visit all the sites of historical interest, archeologists will simply dig up the bones of another 15th-century king from under a parking lot, just to annoy you.
如果你真的游遍了所有的历史名胜,考古学家会从停车场地下随便挖出一个15世纪国王的骨头,纯粹是为了惹你生气。

But since some Brits are only aware of two key dates -- a French invasion in 1066 and an England soccer World Cup victory 900 years later -- you don't need to try too hard to catch up.
不过由于部分英国人只清楚两个重要日期:一个法国人在1066年的入侵和900年后英国赢得世界杯足球赛,你没必要努力参观那么多古迹。

Try visiting the northern city of York, where you can wallow in 2,000 years of British history in one location.
可以去参观北部城市约克,在这一个地方你就可以体会2000年的英国历史。

Or Bath, where you can do the same and also wallow in a nice thermal bath.
或者去巴斯,这里不但可以体会到同样的历史,还可以洗个舒服的温泉。
