關(guān)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(xué)生的名校情結(jié)。國內(nèi)北大清華每年暑假就儼然變成中小學(xué)生們的朝圣地。而今面對世界級的學(xué)府又怎能錯過？
　　其二：名人效應(yīng)?？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(yīng)。《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(dú)鐘。不過這里歷史感厚重的建筑的確也擔(dān)得起光影流轉(zhuǎn)。
　　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。

       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。
