Andrea: Nigel is a senior librarian, and he knows all about it:

Trafalgar Square is one of the most important places in Britain. It was built to commemorate 1 Admiral Nelson, the square was named after the Spanish Cape 2 Trafalgar where his last battle was won. So after the victory it was a great populous 3 move to create a statue right in the centre of the capital for such a person, so people always look up to him. It is so symbolic 4 that all the tourists come here; they may be a bit put off by the enormous amount of pigeons which can be a nuisance.


Youling: 广场的取名,Trafalgar 就是为了纪念纳尔逊尔海军上将在西班牙特拉法加角海战中立下的不朽功勋. To commemorate 纪念。那一战役为巩固19世纪初英国海上霸主地位起了决定性的作用.


Andrea: So after the victory there was a popular movement to create a statue right in the centre of the capital.


Youling: 众心所向 在首都中心为纳尔逊建造一塑雕像 to create a statue


Andrea: People always look up to him; look up to someone


Youling: 敬仰; 敬佩的意思 look up to


Andrea: But to Nigel, the pigeons could be a bit of a problem as there are too many of them, enormous


Youling: 在形容鸽子数量时他用了enormous大量的,成群成队的鸽子在广场上空飞来飞去,有时会令人感到讨厌 a nuisance. But I think pigeons are just part of its unique attraction 独特诱人之处,不是吗?


Andrea: Yes. Over the years Trafalgar Square has become a symbolic place for visitors.


Youling: 已经成为一个具有代表性,象征性的景点 a symbolic place. A symbol; symbolic


Andrea: Yes, as the Londoners would say to a tourist, a visit to the capital would be incomplete without going to admire Nelson’s Column and the four giant lions at its base, or to admire the lovely fountains and to feed the pigeons.


Youling: What a colourful picture you have described Andrea! 纳尔逊纪念碑 Nelson’s Column 巨狮铜雕 giant lions,还有漂亮的喷泉 lovely splashing fountains. 所以说,不到特拉法加广场就不能算是看全了首都 a visit to the capital would not be complete without coming to Trafalgar Square.


Andrea: But there is a lot more to it as these school girls are telling us what they like most about Trafalgar Square:
