The Downs, University Park Campus

没有骗你,英国的校园大到吓人。这里只是校园中央的一个草原,不过是校园的冰山一角。我想,真的走到我的脚断掉都可以!本来只想post我看到的这片草原,但后来又翻到一些关于这草原的简介,所以要讲一讲这草原。由于我的翻译能力不是很好,所以还是决定将原文post在这里。

“This vast grassy bowl in the centre of campus has been managed as a wildflower meadow for some years now. As acid grassland, it does not have high proportion of broadleaved flowering species but is nevertheless very attractive in early summer with the many and varied grass flowers. It is cut each year in early July for a hay crop. Over the years of this treatment, the number of species of wildflower has considerably increased along with the other wildlife that the meadow supports.”
