When I got off the train, the first thing I did was navigate to Jianhe by Google and take a boat. I stood opposite the math bridge and watched many tourists take pictures of the opposite bridge. At first, I didn't know that the bridge opposite was a math bridge. Looking at everyone's photos, I also took photos of the opposite bridge. Later, when I wrote this article, I learned about the Math Bridge and was surprised to find that the first photo I took in Cambridge was the Math Bridge. ?
There is a saying in the design of mathematical bridge that this bridge was designed by mathematician Newton himself, and the whole bridge was not fixed with a nail and a screw. Later, good students explored whether the bridge was really so mysterious. As a result, students found that it was impossible to rebuild the bridge when they demolished it. Finally, everyone reappeared the way of fixing it with nails and screws (in fact, this statement is not credible, because Newton died in 1727, and the establishment time of the mathematical bridge was 65437). In fact, according to Esrich, the bridge was designed by James Essex Jr. It shows the prototype of modern rigid bridge. Adjacent trusses of the bridge form an included angle of 1 1.25 degrees. In the18th century, this design was called geometric structure, so it was named Mathematical Bridge.
These seemingly irregular and random geometric figures, such as triangles, rectangles and diamonds, have been carefully planned and calculated. No wonder some people say that this mathematical bridge is a symbol of Cambridge's academic spirit.
Jianhe, a river that runs through the city, is a symbolic representative of Cambridge University. During the boat ride, you will see the backs of several famous colleges such as King's College and St. John's College, as well as the Bridge of Sighs and the Bridge of Mathematics. You can record the famous landmarks of Cambridge University by cable. While rowing, the little brother who supported the pole introduced the story and history of the surrounding colleges and interacted with us. A ship can hold 12 people at most. Look at the surrounding willow branches, tourists and colleges, and your heart becomes very quiet.
The night before yesterday, when I was doing the Raiders, I saw many people commenting that while taking a boat, China's uncles and aunts sang loudly in Chuanshan: Let's row. I couldn't help laughing when I saw such comments. Uncles and aunts are really cute. Later, when I was on a boat, such a scene caught my eye. Grandparents are singing happily, and foreigners beside them are singing quietly.
Sigh Bridge, built in 183 1, is a covered bridge in Cambridge, England, belonging to St. John's College of Cambridge University, and the architect is Henry Hutchinson. This bridge is named after the Sigh Bridge in Venice. There is nothing in common except that both bridges are covered bridges. Sigh Bridge is one of the famous scenic spots in Cambridge, England. Queen Victoria once said that she likes this scenic spot in this city best.
There is a lovely legend about the bridge of sighs. It is said that this bridge was named after students in Cambridge. Students who failed the course often sigh and regret here, so it was named Sigh Bridge. There is also a legend that this bridge corridor connects the new hospital and the third hospital, and students will sigh when they walk from their rooms to the teacher's office. I couldn't help sighing when the ship approached the bridge of sighs. When I was thinking about my first grade birthday, my aunt asked me what my dream was when I grew up. I said without hesitation that I want to be a scientist when I grow up, but I didn't become a scientist when I grew up, and even my field has nothing to do with science. So, I thought about it and took back the sigh. After all, I can choose what I like to do now.
Once the poet Xu Zhimo's Farewell to Cambridge also mentioned: Looking for a dream? Holding a long pole, strolling back to the greener place on the grass …
Because I know the story of the Eucharist Clock, I can't help but take a photo with it when I come to this scenic spot, and I also want to tell myself to save time and do something valuable! ! ! !
The Eucharist Bell was unveiled by physicist Hawking on September 19, 2008, and was awarded as one of the best inventions of 2008. The Eucharist Bell was conceived and funded by John C taylor, with a value of100000.
There is a terrible metal sculpture of locusts on the clock. Taylor called this locust Chronophage, which literally means the devourer of time. When you are in close contact, you will find that this locust is moving its mouth every second, as if it is eating, and it will make strange noises if it keeps moving. Every hour, there will be the sound of chains jingling and dropping coffins. When this clock is accurate to every five minutes, the time will not go too fast or stop completely, and the lights may lag behind. Taylor said: This abnormal movement is the irregularity of life.
As a public work of art, Eucharist Clock reminds people to save time and the inevitable passage of time in a dramatic way. Taylor described this work of art as terrible. He said: basically, I think time is not around you, it will eat every minute of your life, and when you die, it will covet the next minute. The Eucharist Clock is a beautiful clock, but it is still a little disturbing to see the locusts eating time bit by bit.
On the roadside railings in Cambridge, leaflets of various community publicity activities can be seen everywhere, such as day trips, film festivals, dances, speeches and so on. All kinds of community publicity activities not only make you feel the academic atmosphere of world-class universities, but also make you feel the richness of community activities. Bicycles on the roadside, leaflets of community activities, scenic spots and colleges constitute a major feature of Cambridge.
King's College should be the most beautiful college I have ever seen in Cambridge. Put a picture to feel it, hee hee!
King's College is the center of Cambridge University. It was founded by King Henry VI in 144 1 year, hence the name King's College. The original design was frugal, but later, in order to highlight the rich financial resources of the royal family, King's College gradually pursued magnificent architecture. When 144 1 was founded, it was supervised by a dean and 70 academicians, and the construction area occupied most of the downtown area of Cambridge.
When wandering in the streets, squares and colleges of Cambridge, I often feel that I have passed by future scientists, educators, Nobel Prizes, tyrants and gods. Walking in the street, I can't tell whether the people around me are tourists or Cambridge students, but I still have a feeling of admiration for the learning gods.
When I entered King's College, I almost missed visiting the church. Henry VI ordered the construction of the chapel to begin on 1446, and it took nearly a century to be officially completed. Stained glass windows are used in churches. If you are lucky, you can hear the choir singing in the church. The stained glass windows around set off the sunshine beautifully. But this time, I was unlucky not to meet the choir.
On the back of the stone, it is written in memory of China Xu Zhimo (1897- 193 1), a student of the king1921-kloc-0/922. The first and last lines are "Second".
On the occasion of bidding farewell to the 80th anniversary of Cambridge, King's College of Cambridge University set up a marble monument for Xu Zhimo on the bank of Jianhe River, engraved with two famous poems: "I left quietly, just as I came gently." "I waved my sleeve and didn't take away a cloud." I was almost excited when I saw this monument. At the moment I saw two poems, I felt that Xu Zhimo was very close to me. I stood there for more than 10 minutes, touched the stone, took photos, and then watched the tourists from China run to the front to take photos.
In my inherent thought, stepping on the lawn is not allowed in China, but after coming to England, I found that you can step on the lawn at will, sit on the lawn and chat with friends, or play on the lawn. But during this visit, I learned for the first time that in Cambridge University, it is forbidden to trample on the lawn of the college, and the school has special regulations. There are only three situations in which you are qualified to step on the lawn. One is an academician of Cambridge or a friend invited by an academician, and the other is a duck.
Prepare for IELTS before going abroad. The cover of the IELTS textbook used reads: Cambridge English. When listening to IELTS, the first sentence is Cambridge IELTS. It can be said that during preparing for IELTS, "Cambridge Book" has become another invisible friend of mine.
Cambridge University Press, founded in 1534, is the second university press in the world after Oxford University. Although Cambridge University Press was founded in 1534, it was not officially chartered due to the influence of religion, belief and politics. Plus there is no complete set of printing equipment. However, in 1534, Cambridge University Press was granted a franchise, which meant that the press could publish books on campus or domestic books. However, Cambridge University was banned by other publishing houses at that time, and no other books were printed in a short time, and 1584 was the first book printed by the publishing house.
In addition, Cambridge University Press is also the oldest publishing house in the world. Looking up information on the Internet, I learned that Cambridge University Press was established mainly by printing prayer books such as the Bible. The first Bible was printed in 159 1 year, and Cambridge University Press became the oldest Bible publishing house in the world.
I stayed in Cambridge University Press for more than half an hour and read different books published by Cambridge University, each of which was very expensive. I took an identical IELTS book used in China before and looked at the price. It says 54 pounds. Compared with domestic pirated books, the price difference of 54 kg genuine books is at least 5 times. Although students of roast duck can get books with the same content at a low price, the high price of genuine books in Britain shows respect for intellectual property rights.
How do you feel after reading this picture? This wallpaper says Cambridge University Press, hehe, nothing special, but the picture below Cambridge University Press is the highlight. I counted, there are about 36 people and animals in the picture below. They form a circle. Everyone, including animals, is doing their own time, but at the same time everyone is reading. Looking at such a picture, I feel like reading in an instant. I don't know if you have similar feelings, hee hee. Of course, this picture also indirectly illustrates the concept of saving time. Whatever you do, just squeeze the sponge and you'll have time, right?
Immerse yourself in a good book today! ! !
At four o'clock in the afternoon, students from Cambridge took us to other colleges in the school with children's shoes. Although when we arrived in Cambridge in the morning, we had visited all the university attractions in Cambridge almost twice, in the afternoon, students from Cambridge took us around and became familiar with many strange roads. Looking at the names of some interesting restaurants in China on the street, such as Renren Supermarket, Lamian Noodles and China. ?
Cambridge students mentioned that when Hawking died, many people came to Cambridge University to mourn Hawking's death, but due to today's misfortune, tourists were forbidden to enter.
The Eucharist College of Cambridge University is a college of Cambridge University. Eucharist College is the only college in Cambridge University established by Cambridge citizens. It was founded in 1352 to commemorate the Eucharist of Christ and the Virgin Mary. The Eucharist College of Christ is the second primary school in Cambridge University after Peter College, and it also has the least number of undergraduates.
I can't believe that the building in front is one of the largest libraries in the world. In the past, all books were donated. Since Law 1709 stipulated that all books published in Britain must be delivered to libraries, the collection of books has increased dramatically. Now it has more than 6 million books, including many famous papers and manuscripts, and about100000 Chinese books, many of which are precious.
At about 5: 30 in the afternoon, we visited what Cambridge students called the "common room". Because this common room is on the first floor, as Cambridge students call it. There is a bookshelf in Kumon's room with all kinds of original books and Chinese books on it. If you want to read, you can take them home, because these books are donated by Cambridge students.
I hope everyone will donate a book to me, and then I will have many books on the shelves in China. If you donate a book to me, please rest assured that I will read it carefully. Hee hee, if there are any friends who want to donate books or send them to me, please leave me a message. Oh, thank you!
What's the experience of studying in Cambridge? "20 professional, as far as I'm concerned, I'm from China. I usually have no time to cook. Often eat takeout, buy frozen food or grab something to eat in the city center. When learning to write papers, I often stay in the common room until 2 or 3 o'clock, and I have no time to travel during the holidays. Maybe I am a homesick person! About writing a thesis and meeting a tutor, you basically need to write a 2500-word thesis every two weeks. Usually, we have frequent contact with my tutor. I remember once I forgot to reply to my tutor's email. A day or two later, she immediately sent me an email with the title: urgent email! I was too scared to reply.
Later, I continued to ask: Are all students in Cambridge learning gods or learning tyrants? Cambridge students said: no, I don't usually hear that someone failed, but my classmates usually take part in some social activities to enrich their lives, and they haven't reached the level of studying hard yet. Through chatting with Cambridge students, I learned that if the paper score can reach more than 60 points, it will be quite excellent.
After talking with Cambridge students about school, work and employment, I suddenly thought of the Bridge of Sighs. I really want to sigh on the bridge of sighs: although people are the same on the surface, the degree of thinking is very different!
After dinner, on the way to the railway station, tourists left for Cambridge one after another, and the originally busy street became much quieter. I visited Cambridge three times in one day, and chatting with my classmates also brought me a lot of thoughts!
Small feeling of this trip: When you want to go to a country or a city, doing a good job in advance will make you know and love the city better, and of course you are full of expectations for where you are going. Just like me, I am too excited to sleep at night. I got up at five o'clock the next morning, set off at half past six, and walked for forty-two minutes to get to the train. It's like beating chicken blood, but I was scared by a dog standing still on the road (I started early in the morning, so I can't take a taxi or take a bus? )
Because I have made a good strategy for Cambridge, I clearly know where I am going, where I am going by boat and which college I am going to. I thought it was almost enough to go once a day, but I didn't expect to go back and forth three times. If time permits, I hope to go around four or even five times, because I have been longing for Cambridge for a long time ~ ~ Maybe I will take the road of Cambridge again when I come to England in the future.
One last lesson: Travel is sometimes like punching in. After going to this scenic spot, go to the next scenic spot. This kind of punching will bring you a happy mood, but your heart will be a little empty. If you meet interesting friends or classmates on your trip, they go to school and live in the local area, and everyone makes an appointment to meet, chat and have tea, which will make you think more about other people's ways of thinking, this school and this city. That's what travel should be like! Besides, living with local people is also a great experience:)
Thank you for patiently reading my words!
