歌词
老伦敦身上不可磨灭的印记
The imprint of ancient London
决定了现代伦敦的布局
defines the map of the modern city
和旧瓶装新酒是一个道理
The city sheds its skin while the bones stay the same
银行交叉口就像…
Bank junction is like...
就像是伦敦的脉搏 伦敦的心跳
It's the pulse of London.It's the heartbeat of London
正对面是伦敦交易所
You've got the Royal Exchange right in front of you
左边就是英格兰银行
you've got the Bank of England itself on the left
这里发生着很多故事
and there's so much going on there
这一幕背后有着很多故事
There's a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes
只是你看不见而已
You just don't actually see it
但你就是有这种感觉
but you can virtually feel it going on there
你可以想象古罗马的庞大军团经过这里的情形
You can envisage the old Roman legions crossing the junction there
因为这是伦敦最具有古罗马气息的地方
because initially it was the old Roman part of London
身在此处 时间仿佛静止了一般
Time just sort of stands still while you're there
当你微微睁开双眼
If you could sort of half shut your eyes
还可以看到那些老交易员们
you can see the old traders
·匆匆地赶往劳埃德保险社
You know, they're going to Lloyd's of London
或者保存至今的后街小咖啡馆
or little coffee houses in the back streets that are still there
透过那些大楼的窗户可以看到
And you can see behind the windows of all the buildings there
员工们正用羽毛笔奋笔疾书 制作表单
the clerks with quill pens buzzing away, making lists and charts
为一些活计而忙碌着
just generally getting on with the business of London
伦敦的脉搏 伦敦的心脏
It's the pulse. It's the heartbeat of London
就在这样一个小小的地方
virtually in that little area there
在17到18世纪期间
During the 17th and 18th centuries
新街区与住宅区开始向西延伸
new streets and houses spread west
抛开旧城 一个全新的伦敦正在诞生
Beyond the old city, a very different London was emerging
