DUNDEE - 平凡中的点点滴滴

欢迎大家分享关于DUNDEE的小故事。

SOFA自己坐。在DCA和以前CB银行之间有一段N老旧的墙。后来才发现，这就是以前DUNDEE的西城墙的残骸。靠DCA的一边有一块镶在墙上的牌子，专门介绍这墙的历史。:)

从上面的西城墙引出下列典故：SO，西门在现在还是叫NETHERGATE，那么其他几个门叫什么呢?(怎么感觉像以前的"综艺大观"?)W$N9U(Io2AxfGs

One is called Overgate, and another one is called Wellgate.

And Seagate.

I was talking about the ex-citygates, not shopping malls.

I was told by my lecturer in Dundee that Overgate and Wellgate used to be the names of city gates. Is there any way to find out if that is true?

Alexander Wilson, who took this photograph, was a supervisor in a Dundee jute mill for over 20 years. He bequeathed much of his collection and ￡50, to cover the costs involved, to the Free Library Committee of Dundee in 1923.

This photograph of Dundee's Nethergate is taken from the foot of Tally Street looking westwards, with Union Street leading southwards at the lefthand side.$r:}Lgw

"`)z V LMc4G William Menzies was the name of the drapery in Albion House, No. 40 Nethergate. The Metropole Restaurant was part of Russell's Royal Hotel, though it is listed as No. 1 Union Street. The hotel was managed in 1905 by A. J. Hitchman."BW%` a a9^fh M-S'e1E

James Stewart the hairdresser was at No. 7 Union Street. No. 52 Nethergate, just beyond the hotel in this photograph, was Richard McCormack, a jeweller dealing in watches and imported jewellery. He lived at No. 93 Nethergate.

gK&tR} The only recognisable business in this photograph is James Cunningham, the bookseller, whose shop stood on the north side of Dundee's Murraygate at No. 36. His full listing in the Dundee Directory adds 'stationer and newsagent'.s1m\+[N$jdq

9GUb%d*oDG He had another shop at No. 1 Cowgate, a warehouse at No. 23 Murraygate and he lived at No. 1 Commercial Street (the south end near the docks). The large banner for William Smart is most likely a brand advertisement in Alexander Heggie's clothier's shop.

Other businesses listed in the Dundee Directory include James McKenzies (smallwares) at No. 32, The Singer Manufacturing Co (extreme left?); in the opposite direction, No. 40 was William Black, ironmonger, No. 42 James Brodie, horse-hirer.

Many thanks, Daniel.:lol

想要英文好，只有多读书。老公总说我看中文书好快。岂不知这是当年冒着多大的阻力，读了多少本"课外书"换来的本领。英文阅读速度也是要靠多读练出来的。其实我也挺汗颜，来了这么久，英文阅读速度不见得提高了多少。:80000

呵呵，很正常啦，对于我们这些出国在外的人，l@\$j6u;q
每天和老外接触，交流大多还是语言交流，
#X(E6N5}bX~ 而对于阅读，英文的东西总还是不如中文看的亲切，所以不论在看资料还是看小说，总是优先找中文的看。2z oR5OJl To;X
阅读能力的提高自然不如口语能力的提高来的快。2RH? j0oc W

而在国内学习英语则正好相反，国内的英语学习大多基于书本，真正和人口语交流的机会很少，所以在国内学习英语，通常对于阅读、单词之类的提高要远远大于口语。

跑题了。。。。。。。。。
