Wonderful science walking tour of Cambridge hosed by Jonathan Thornalley.
The Cambridge Tour Company的点评
点评:My students and I had a wonderful afternoon walking tour of Cambridge hosed by Jonathan Thornalley. We were there on a day trip from London as part of the spring break portion of our university's physics course called "The Development of Modern Physical Science." I asked if Johnny could give us a tour concentrating on the many scientific discoveries at Cambridge University since we had already scheduled what turned out to be an excellent walking tour concerning the history and architecture of the University earlier that morning. Johnny was a superb story teller and kept the still slightly jet-lagged students' attention throughout. We saw the original Cavendish Lab, where the electron was discovered as well as many other important atomic discoveries; the Eagle Pub, where the discussions on the structure of DNA took place and led to the discovery of the double-helix; Isaac Newton's office at Trinity College and even Stephen Hawking's original flat, where he lived early in his career. Johnny really brought the town and University to life with his many anecdotes and fun facts. He was certainly one of the top tour guides on our entire trip and I couldn't recommend him more highly.
翻译:我和学生们在乔纳森·索纳利的带领下,度过了一个精彩的剑桥下午徒步之旅。我们是从伦敦出发,参加大学春假物理课程“现代物理科学的发展”的一日游。由于当天上午我们已经安排了一场精彩的剑桥大学历史和建筑之旅,所以我询问乔纳森能否带我们参观剑桥大学,重点介绍那里的众多科学发现。乔纳森是一位出色的讲故事者,他全程牢牢吸引着我们这些还有些时差反应的学生的注意力。我们参观了卡文迪什实验室,电子以及许多其他重要的原子能发现都发生在那里;鹰酒吧,DNA结构研究的讨论就在这里展开,并最终促成了双螺旋结构的发现;艾萨克·牛顿在三一学院的办公室,甚至还有斯蒂芬·霍金早年居住的公寓。乔纳森用他丰富的轶事和趣闻,让这座城市和大学鲜活了起来。他绝对是我们整个旅程中最优秀的导游之一,我强烈推荐他。
