华莱士纪念碑和科特雷尔建筑是斯特林大学最著名的标志性建筑,然而其实斯特林大学的其他地方也是非常美丽的,城堡、湖、草地和森林以及大学的高尔夫课程,都美得让人沉醉。
原文:The Wallace Monument and the Cottrell building are just two features of Stirling University to benefit from the stunning surroundings. The locale boasts a castle, lakes, meadow and woods – and indeed its own nine-hole golf course.
格拉斯哥大学被誉为苏格兰最古老的大学之一,大学的Gilbert Scott建筑是英国第二大哥特复兴式建筑。
原文:One of Scotland`s vaunted "Ancient" universities, Glasgow University boasts many fine buildings such as the Gilbert Scott building – the second-largest example of Gothic revival architecture in Britain after the Palace of Westminster.
坐落在斯塔福德郡一个风景如画的620英亩的农村校园,基尔大学不仅风景美丽,在纽卡斯尔安德莱姆城郊还有一个19世纪的豪华古宅,曾经住着Sneyd一家,现在被用做大学的会议中心。
原文:Located in a picturesque 620-acre rural campus in Staffordshire, Keele University benefits not just from the scenery but also from Keele Hall, a 19th-century stately home on the outskirts of Newcastle-under-Lyme which once housed the Sneyd family. It now serves as the university conference centre.
巴兹尔-斯宾塞先生的现代主义建筑研究法在苏塞克斯大学(University of Sussex)的可能不是每个人的品味,但即使是传统主义者肯定会就此罢休,周围的观点的南唐斯国家公园。
原文:Sir Basil Spence`s modernist Falmer Building in the University of Sussex may not be to everyone`s taste, but even traditionalists would surely be placated by the surrounding views of the South Downs National Park.
伯明翰大学(University of Birmingham)
尽管位于英国工业第二大城市伯明翰的中心,伯明翰大学的红砖建筑——如图所示的阿斯顿韦伯楼——却是英国最优雅的建筑之一。
原文:Despite its location in the centre of UK`s sprawling and industrial second city, Birmingham University`s red brick constructions – such as the Aston Webb building shown here – are among the country`s most elegant.
埃克塞特大学有许多被隐藏起来的建筑,但是这些被隐藏起来的建筑有的就想是隐藏在绿色中的宝石,譬如如图所示的里德大厅(Reed Hall)。
原文:Exeter University has many buildings it would rather hide – not least its ghastly physics department – but within the green Streatham Campus lies the hidden gem of Reed Hall, shown here. Originally Streatham Hall, it was renamed upon donation to the university in honour of benefactor Alderman W H Reed, and boasted an 11-acre estate with a stunning arboretum or rare and beautiful trees.
爱丁堡大学(University of Edinburgh)
爱丁堡大学的神学系新学院(New College)是一座哥特式的建筑,与其名字不太符,它的历史可以追溯到1843年。据说大学本身建于1583年。新学院的邻居Assembly Hall是爱丁堡艺术节的场地。
原文:Edinburgh University`s gothic New College – home to the Faculty of Divinity – appears to belie its name, dating back to 1843. That said, the university itself was founded back in 1583. New College`s adjacent Assembly Hall also serves as an Edinburgh Festival venue.
