il Giardino Romantico

This may not seem to be a special pub, but to some, it is. I choose to end the Canterbury entries with the Dolphin, because even until today, I recall the fun we had that night. 

從外表似乎看不出有什麼特別的，不過對某些人來說它卻是。用這篇來做坎特伯里系列的結為是因為我至今還能回想到那天晚上在這裡度過的歡樂時光。

I thought I had finished the Canterbury entries, but it turned out, there are still a couple of things I wanted to share. This is one of them - the European Food Festival. I think it's an annual event, held in fall. It is festivals like this that really makes one enjoy the UK even more! 

原以為坎特伯里的故事已經講完了，翻翻照片才發現還有幾樣東西想要跟大家分享。這個歐洲美食祭就是其中一個。這種活動啊，我想就是令我更喜歡英國的原因之一呢！（明明pub才是主因.... ）

Remember this cute photo from the London Paddington series? Well, this article is going to show you the 'behind-the-scenes'. Although, the time difference between this top photos and the ones you are about to see are almost a year apart, still, that doesn't affect anything, does it?

還記得這張可愛的圖片嗎？這篇文章就是要來讓大家瞧瞧這「幕後花絮」。雖然上圖跟以下圖片拍攝時間相差將近一整年，不過這當然是沒有任何引響的啦！

Evidence of Roman civilization is ubiquitous around England. Remember Chester? That's only a tiny tip of the iceberg. Remember Bath? Well, Canterbury has a whole museum dedicated to the ancient Roman civilization on English soil. You get to learn first hand information on what life was like back in those days!

羅馬帝國文化在英國是無所不在。切斯特不就是個很好的例子？還記得巴斯嗎？不過這些都只是冰山一角。坎特伯里可是有自己的羅馬文化博物館呢！在這裡可以學到許多相關的歷史與文化！快來看看吧！

Although Chaucer's Canterbury Tales was never completed, and we never get to hear of what happens when the pilgrims reach Canterbury, it feels as if every visitor here is doing Chaucer a favour by completing the pilgrimage for the characters in his tale.

The Canterbury Tales, a collection of stories written in Middle English by the Geoffery Chaucer. Twenty-nine pilgrims gather in an inn during their pilgrimage to Canterbury. The innkeeper embarks a story telling contest, and thus the tales begin. 

坎特伯雷故事集是由喬叟以撰寫的古英文作品。故事中有二十九名朝聖者正前往著坎特伯里。旅館主人提議朝聖旅途中舉辦說故事比賽，因而有了這個故事集。

The city walls is one of the most distinct features of Canterbury.  Even now, it still amazes me how the wall survives till today. 

我想城牆也是坎特伯里最大的特色了。現在回想還是覺得很神奇。這是怎麼維持至今的呢？

This is the quiet and peaceful Canterbury, that I will always remember. This is the serenity of Canterbury that made me fall deeply in love with it. The temporary silence and tranquility for which every traveller acquires a taste. 

這就我印象中寧靜的坎特伯里。就是這種安寧使我深深的愛上這個地方。這種片刻的寂靜正是每個旅者到最後都會是為頂級的享受。

Canterbury had always been one of the must-visit places on my list.  My curiosity of the place rose from Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales'.  It was not until I arrived, did I realise that it is also home to Christopher Marlowe.  When I found out that my dear friend lived in Canterbury, I knew that there was absolutely no reason why I should not visit the place.  In this article, you will see glimpses of this adorable little city.  This is a place in which the old merged with the new.  More importantly, though, it is a place where the old outlives the new, unlike many other cities.

坎特伯里一直是我想來的地方。起因當然是因為Chaucer著作的'Canterbury Tales'。不過直到我來到這裡才發現原來他也是Christopher Marlowe（『浮士德』作家）的家鄉。又在我得知我多年好友居住於此，讓我更沒有理由不來拜訪一下。這篇所分享的圖片僅是一些零零碎碎捕捉到的鏡頭。與大家分享一下這可愛的小城市。有趣的是，他跟許多城市一樣，你可以看見古老文化以及新文化的交融。但不同於其他城市的是，這個地方似乎是古老文化的生命力比較強。

The best thing that happened to me during my trip to Canterbury, was being able to spend a couple of days with one of my best friends in high school.  Before reuniting in the UK, we had not seen each other for 14 solid years. 

在坎特伯里的旅程最難忘的事情就是能夠跟我高中的摯友相處上個兩三天。其實在我到英國之前，我們失聯了十四年之久呢！
