  • Have you ever been to the tower of London? I feel very curious about it. I hope I can have a chance to have a look. It is said that it is the symbol of British Royalty1 and built in 1087. It has been the World Cultural Heritage. It was the palace of ruler. James I is the last owner. But it was used for many purposes after no rulers living in it, such as, fort, armory2, treasury3, observatory4, prison and so on. Now it is one of the most popular historical cite in British. The yeoman warders manage it now. There are seven ravens5 in it as lucky mascot6. No one is allowed to come in or go out at night because of the Ancient legend. Every night they will hold the old lock ceremony. How am I not interested in such place?

    你去过伦敦塔吗?我对它很好奇。我希望能有机会去看一看。据说伦敦塔是英国皇室的象征,建于1087年。它已成为世界文化遗产。它是统治者们的宫殿。詹姆士一世是最后一位住在里面的统治者。在没有统治者在里面住后,伦敦塔就被用于多方面,比如:堡垒,军械库,库房,天文台,监狱等。现在它是大不列颠群岛最受欢迎的历史景点之一。如今是御用侍从卫士在管理。里面有七只乌鸦,被誉为吉祥物。因为古老的传说,所以没有人可以在晚上进出。他们每天晚上都会进行古老的锁门仪式。我怎么能对这样的地方不感兴趣呢?
