[color=black][url=http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%82%93%E8%BF%AA][b]邓迪[/b]([b]Dundee[/b])[/url](盖尔语Dun Deagh,意为“泰河边上的堡垒”)位于[url=http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%8B%8F%E6%A0%BC%E5%85%B0]苏格兰[/url]东部[url=http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%8C%97%E6%B5%B7]北海[/url]沿岸[url=http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B3%B0%E6%B2%B3]泰河[/url]口,人口143,090([url=http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006%E5%B9%B4]2006年[/url]),是苏格兰第四大城市,却是全英境内物价最低的城市之一 。邓迪被称为“发现之城”(City of Discovery),因为此城出过很多著名的发现和发明,比如[url=http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%82%AE%E7%A5%A8]邮票[/url],[url=http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E6%97%A0%E7%BA%BF%E7%94%B5%E6%8A%A5&action=edit]无线电报[/url],[url=http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%98%BF%E5%8F%B8%E5%8C%B9%E6%9E%97]阿司匹林[/url],[url=http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/X%E5%B0%84%E7%BA%BF]X射线[/url]等等。邓迪气候宜人,是苏格兰日照最充足的城市,这在阴雨天频繁的[url=http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%8D%E5%88%97%E9%A1%9B%E5%B3%B6]不列颠岛[/url]上尤为难得。s FAL|9o;D i@[r

However, if outer districts such as Monifieth and Invergowrie, joined physically but not politically, are counted, the number is around 170,000. It is located on the north bank of the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Tay]River Tay's[/url] estuary and so is near the east coast and the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sea]North Sea[/url]. Dundee is known as the [i]City of Discovery[/i], both in honour of Dundee's history of scientific activities, and of the [url=/wiki/RRS_Discovery]RRS [i]Discovery[/i][/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Falcon_Scott]Robert Falcon Scott[/url]'s [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctica]Antarctic[/url] exploration vessel, which was built in Dundee and is now berthed there.,W9IO_#U;~2CQj
Its history began with the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picts]Picts[/url] in the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Age]Iron Age[/url] and during the medieval period was the site of many battles. During the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution]Industrial Revolution[/url] the local [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jute]jute[/url] industry caused the city to grow rapidly. In this period Dundee also gained a reputation for its marmalade industry and its journalism, giving Dundee its epithet as the city of "jute, jam and journalism". Dundee's population reached a peak of nearly 200,000 at the start of the 1970s, but it has since declined due to outward migration and the council boundary changes of the 1970s and 1980s, which saw Dundee lose suburbs to the surrounding counties.*kW'?L ]r EZ CK
The biomedical and technology industries have grown since the 1980s and the city now accounts for 10% of Britain’s digital entertainment industry. The city is home to the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Dance_Theatre]Scottish Dance Theatre[/url], who are based in the city's [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dundee_Repertory_Theatre]Dundee Repertory Theatre[/url], and the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Scottish_National_Orchestra]Royal Scottish National Orchestra[/url], which regularly plays in the city's Caird Hall. On [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_5]5 March[/url] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004]2004[/url] Dundee was granted [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairtrade_Town]Fairtrade City[/url] status.

发明邮票的James Chalmers是在Arbroath出生的。在市中心的St. Paul's Cathedral(就是KFC旁边的那个,要上N磴台阶,又有DUNCAN拿着单眼了望镜的塑像在旁边)里有一块在墙上的石头刻着James Chalmers的生平。他葬在Howff Burial Ground,就是市中心邮局对面的那个墓地(刚来时很不理解,为啥偏在中心位置上保留一块墓地)。他的墓志铭是:"Originator of the adhesive postage stamp which saved the penny postage scheme of 1840 from collapse rendering it an unquallified (sic) success and which has since been adopted throughout the postal systems of the world."
