11，the Bridge of Sighs 叹息桥
见以下网络资料https://www.doczj.com/doc/1018958452.html,/view/619853.htm
如果说到和英国有关的话，那我觉得你应该指的是康河上的叹息桥，也就是剑桥大学所在地
剑桥城的叹息桥。在剑桥大学所有的桥中，叹息桥的名气最大。据说，维多利亚女王参观这座桥时，赞叹不已：“这么秀丽！这么别致！”
叹息桥位于圣·约翰学院，建于1831年，连接了该学院的老庭（The Old Court）与新庭。它类似一座廊桥，分上、中、下三层。下层是半个椭圆形的桥孔，横跨在剑河上；中间是一条通道，即长廊。与其他长廊不同的是，它的道面不是平直的，而是拱形的，行人过桥要上下坡。桥的两边是半封闭的，相互对称的五对用钢筋拦护的拱顶水泥框架的玻璃窗，用来采光；上层是平顶，类似一般水泥大桥的桥面，顶面的两边均衡地耸立着相互对称的塔尖状装饰。整座桥身的外观呈浅黄色。
有关它的故事，流传着不同的版本。有人说，剑桥大学的毕业考试很严格，平时不努力学习的学生，考试通不过，拿不到文凭，往往来到这里叹息、流泪，后悔莫及。因此，校方把它定名为叹息桥，以此来警示学生要勤奋学习，不可懈怠；也有人说，之所以叫叹息桥，是因为校方总是让犯了错误的学生来到这里，面对河水，兀立反省，作为一种惩罚。学生反省之后，往往叹息，悔不当初。
笔者成文前查阅了有关资料，可靠的说法是：威尼斯有一座叹息桥，通往一座监狱。当囚犯经过那座桥走向监狱时，都会触景生情，为自己的前途叹息。剑桥的这座桥，由于结构与那座桥相似，所以建成后，人们也把它叫作叹息桥。圣·约翰学院为游客印制的该院景点介绍中，也证实了这一点。2002年出版的一本剑桥大学的画册，在叹息桥图片下方的文字说明中，还专门强调：圣·约翰学院这座叹息桥没有给她的学生带来任何的折磨或处罚！
补充练习：剑桥大学简介https://www.doczj.com/doc/1018958452.html,/wiki/University_of_Cambridge
The University of Cambridge is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world. It is regarded as one of the world's leading academic institutions. The University grew out of an association of scholars in the city of Cambridge that was formed, in 1209 by scholars leaving Oxford. The two universities also have a long history of rivalry with each other. Academically, Cambridge is consistently ranked in the world's top 5 universities. It has traditionally been an academic institution of choice of the Royal Family and has produced 82 Nobel Laureates to date, more than any other university throughout the world. (100 words)
剑桥大学是英语世界里第二古老的大学，也被认识是世界上顶级的学术机构。1209年，剑桥大学由一批离开牛津大学的学者于剑桥组成。一直以来，两所大学都处于相互竞争的态势。在学术方面，剑桥大学一直排名全球前五，也一直是英国皇室成员就读的学校。到目前为止，剑桥大学共产生了82位诺贝尔奖得主，比其它任何大学都要多。
