顺流而下,蜿蜒向东,20分钟之后,我们由 Lower Thames St 来到了塔桥附近。穿过腥暗灰迷的地下通道,鬼棘蜚声的伦敦塔赫然耸立。Tunnel 两侧竖有嫣红的壁画,每一副图,都讲述了一个欲望惊悚的故事。最精彩的是关于 Anne Boleyn王后,亨利八世的第二任妻子。在一片凄风疾雨的王宫斗争中,她在继任王后两年后,被囚禁于伦敦塔,两周后被判斩首。于今,戏院市井中,安妮王后断鬼提头,游走古堡的耸文,都还乐于不绝。
Vivien Leigh 与 Robert Taylor, 合演的一部,第一次世界大战中,发生在伦敦的凄美爱情故事,使 Waterloo Bridge 成为心中永远的彩虹。
附:儿歌《伦敦桥要垮了》
London Bridge is falling down, Falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down, My fair lady.
Build it up with wood and clay, Wood and clay, wood and clay,
Build it up with wood and clay, My fair lady.
Wood and clay will wash away, Wash away, wash away,
Wood and clay will wash away, My fair lady.
Build it up with bricks and mortar, Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar,
Build it up with bricks and mortar, My fair lady.
Bricks and mortar will not stay, Will not stay, will not stay,
Bricks and mortar will not stay, My fair lady.
Build it up with iron and steel, Iron and steel, iron and steel,
Build it up with iron and steel, My fair lady.
Iron and steel will bend and bow, Bend and bow, bend and bow,
Iron and steel will bend and bow, My fair lady.
Build it up with silver and gold, Silver and gold, silver and gold,
Build it up with silver and gold, My fair lady.
Silver and gold will be stolen away, Stolen away, stolen away,
Silver and gold will be stolen away, My fair lady.
Set a man to watch all night, Watch all night, watch all night,
Set a man to watch all night, My fair lady.
Suppose the man should fall asleep, Fall asleep, fall asleep,
Suppose the man should fall asleep, My fair lady.
Give him a pipe to smoke all night,
Smoke all night, smoke all night,
Give him a pipe to smoke all night, My fair lady.
这一路还是很紧张。时间比较短,既然买了London Pass,就想多看一些,每天都在疾走。但现在回想起来,感觉非常有意思,很值得!
谢谢夸奖和欣赏!
