Windsor & Eton / 溫莎伊頓之旅

週末與其坐在家裡發霉，我決定常常來個小旅行，今天的目的地是溫莎和伊頓。

Instead of being stuck at home on weekends, I decide to go on outings as often as I can. Today my destination is Windsor and Eton. 

這是溫莎城堡的入口，一去就看到圍觀的人潮，他們在等什麼呢？

This is the entrance to Windsor Castle. As soon as I arrive, there are crowds waiting. For what? 

很精神抖擻吧！售票口的女警衛說遊行很值得看，我便和其他旅客等這一刻。

Don't you find it cheerful? The female guard at the entrance to the ticketing office says that this is a sight worth seeing, so I wait with other tourists. 

溫莎城堡現仍是王室成員的居住地之一，腹地廣大，不過只有小部份開放。

The British royal family still lives in Windsor Castle, which covers a vast area, but only a very small part is open to the public. 

聖喬治之門。

城堡遠眺市景。

城堡裡的教堂。

比起城堡，我偏愛泰晤士河岸風光，走著走著，這一週的負面情緒都隨風而逝。

I prefer the riverside to Windsor Castle. As I walk on, I feel the negative emotion accumulated over the week gone with the wind. 

跨過這座橋就從溫莎鎮到伊頓鎮。

You'll go to Eton from Windsor by taking the bridge. 

伊頓最有名的就是伊頓中學，是英國享譽盛名的寄宿男校，不是想進就能進的。

Eton is famous for Eton College, which is the most renowned boys' boarding school in the UK. You need special background to be admitted. 

伊頓中學的建築散布在鎮上的一角，雖然是週六，還是可以看到很多小男生剛打球回宿舍，或者走去主街上吃東西，也有父母們來探望。

The buildings of Eton College are dispersed in one part of the town. Though it's Saturday, many young boys are on their way back to the dorm after playing the ball. Some are seen to go to High Street for food. There are also parents that come to visit. 

「BJ單身日記第二集」裡，當BJ以為自己懷孕，馬克很開心地和她討論起孩子的將來，他說如果是男孩就要送去伊頓中學，BJ一聽馬上反對。這是社團活動表，我看了也是有點驚嚇，終於在英國看到比較有競爭力的人了。

In Bridget Jones' Diary II, when Bridget thinks she is pregnant, Mark discusses with her in joy the future of their child. He says that if it's a boy, they should send him to Eton College. Upon hearing that, Bridget can't help disagreeing with him. In the photo is the schedule of the societies. I am kind of shocked when I take a close look. I've finally got to see competitive people in the UK. 

有請腫瘤專家的演講，也有討論蘇俄科技的議題，好有熱血的少年們啊！

There is a speech by an oncologist. Also, there is discussion on Soviet technology. What ambitious young men! 

既然被視為牛津劍橋的先修班，伊頓中學也有專屬的紀念品店！

Seen as the preparatory school to Oxford and Cambridge University, Eton College has its own souvenir shop!
