貝利奧爾學院曾經培養(yǎng)了哪3位英國首相？為什么說是政治家的搖籃
來聽今天的講解:
A: Mind if I join you?
我能加入嗎？
B:Not at all. Hi, I’m Tory.
當然可以。嗨，我是托麗。
A: Scott. Nice to meet you! What a beautiful night.
斯科特。很高興認識你！今晚是個多么美麗的夜晚啊。
B: Yeah, there are so many stars out tonight.
是啊，今晚星星很多。
A: Tory. What’s your major?
托麗，你學的是什么專業(yè)？
B: I major in economics and I'm from Balliol College,
我的專業(yè)是經濟學，我來自貝利奧爾學院。
A: Great! Do you know Adam Smith? He was a graduate of Balliol College.
真棒！你知道亞當斯密嗎？他就是貝利奧爾學院畢業(yè)的。
B: Of course, I know! He is a pioneer of political economics. I make a decision to study here just because that I adore him.
我當然知道啦！斯密是政治經濟學的創(chuàng)始人。我就是因為崇拜他才決定到這里來學習的。
A: Smith was really a genius. He is widely accepted as the father of modern economics. His magnum opus The Wealth of Nations is considered as the first modem work of economics.
斯密真是個天才。他是公認的現代經濟學之父。斯密的代表作《國富論》被認為是現代經濟學的第一部經典著作。
B: However, Smith just studied moral philosophy in Balliol College, and his work of economics was finished in his old. As a result, Balliol College is renowned for politics rather than economics. I know that the college had produced three British Prime Ministers.
但是，斯密僅僅是在貝利奧爾學院學習了倫理學，他的經濟學著作是在晚年完成的。因此，比起經濟學，貝利奧爾學院更有名的是政治學。據我所知，該學院曾經培養(yǎng)了3位英國首相。
A: Three? That’s really a large number. Well，do you know who they are?
3位？還真不少啊！那你知道他們都是誰嗎？
B: I read the college introduction a few days ago, so I remembered it clearly. They are Herbert Asquith, Harold Macmillan, and Edward Heath.
我前幾天剛看過學院簡介，所以記得很清楚。他們是赫伯特阿斯奎斯，哈羅德麥克米蘭和愛德華希思。
A: Well, I also heard that Balliol College is well-known for its politics. It is said that there are kings studied in this college.
嗯。我也聽說貝利奧爾學院的政治學很有名。據說，還有國王在這個學院學習過。
B: You，re quite right. Indeed, three kings have studied at Balliol. In my memory, they are Olav V of Norway, Harald V of Norway, and Yang di—Pertuan Besar of Malaysia. Moreover, Richard von Weizsacker, President of Germany from 1984 to 1994, also studied at Balliol.
沒錯。確實有3個國王曾經在貝利奧爾學院汞學。我記得他們是挪威國王奧拉夫五世和哈拉爾五世、以及馬來西亞元首嚴端。而且，1984年-1994年間擔任德國總統的理査德馮魏茨澤克也曾經在這里學習。
A: Wow! It deserves to be called the cradle of politicians.
哇！貝利奧爾學院真不愧是政治家的搖籃。
B:You mentioned cradle? That’s funny.
你說搖籃？這個比喻太有趣了。
A:Don’t you agree with me?
你覺得我說的不對嗎？
B: Oh, of course not. I’m just astonished by your words for this is the first time I hear it
噢，當然不是啦。我只是第一次聽到有人這么說，感到有點吃驚。
A:That’s great. Balliol College should also produce a large number of politicians except for Prime Ministers and Kings.
那就好。除了首相和國王，貝利奧爾學院應該還出過不少政治家吧？
B: Yeah, there are many members in the three major political parties, who graduate from Balliol College.
對，英國最主要的三個政黨里就有很多人是從貝利奧爾學院畢業(yè)的學生。
A: What a great college! You’re a lucky dog.
多了不起的學院??！你真是個幸運兒。
B: Well, I need to wet my whistle. I‘m just going to grab a drink. Do you want one?
嗯，我想喝點東西。我現在去拿點喝的，你要嗎？
A: That would be great. You are very nice.
太好了。謝謝。
B: Don,t mention it.
不客氣。
