il Giardino Romantico

 01

這裡就是著名的國王學院。始建於1441年，由亨利六世建立。天仙對這裡最深的映象，就是每年聖誕節會聽的King's College Choir所演唱的聖誕歌曲。因為已經聽了好幾年，終於有榮幸一睹國王學院的壯觀建築時，心裡感到格外的興奮。抵達第一天，連內部都沒觀賞到，就急忙著想要看到建築外觀。直到隔天才有機會真得進去內部觀賞。

Alas, this is the famous King's College, founded in 1441 by Henry VI. The deepest impression I had of the place, came from the Christmas carols that I would listen to every year by the college's choir. After so many years, I finally had the chance to see the building with my own eyes. It was such an unforgettable moment. Although I did not get to see the interior on the first day of my arrival, I couldn't wait to see the actual building anyway! I waited till the next day to really enjoy the interior of this magnificent buliding.

 天仙念：這塊石頭就在國王學院後方的小道旁。導遊在解說的時候，還刻意看了我一眼（當時除了我之外，沒有任何華人）。還請我將徐志摩的名字標準的說出來給大家聽。不過我這段印象最深的是，當我們還在內部觀賞的時候，導遊問了三個問題，其中一個問題兩個嘗試著回答，卻沒答對。而我卻答對了。導遊隨後問我從那兒來，我當然也趁機將「臺灣」的名聲宣揚一番囉！（但其實問題是啥我已經忘了耶哈哈！）
