Independence Memorial Hall的点评
点评：The Independence Memorial (or Commemoration) Hall helps define an area whose overall landscape is dedicated to celebrating independent Sri Lanka. Located very close by to the south is the Independence Arcade, a colonial building renamed as such after long being known as the "Colombo Asylum" (which operated on the site between 1889 and 1926). Prior to that, the entire area had been a cinnamon plantation (covering over one square kilometer); its original name, "Cinnamon Gardens", remains in use today — though it now designates the most prestigious district in Colombo for residences, institutions, and businesses.
These events illustrate the changing nature of the site prior to its current layout — a contrast to the area’s present, singular purpose as a venue for celebrating national independence (a theme also reflected in the place names: see the adjacent Independence Square and Independence Avenue).
Unlike the Independence Arcade, the Independence Memorial Hall was built specifically to mark the occasion of independence; the same applies, naturally, to the statue standing between the Hall and the Arcade, which depicts D.S. Senanayake, Sri Lanka’s first Prime Minister (1947–1952), "Father of the Nation". Completed in 1953, the Memorial Hall features a spacious colonnade that is simultaneously covered and open: a design that did not prevent it from hosting the inaugural session of the national Parliament in 1948. Its architectural inspiration is highly significant: the "Magul Maduwa" (Celebration Hall), ie the royal audience hall of the Kingdom of Kandy. This was the island’s last indigenous kingdom: a realm that successfully resisted numerous attempts at colonial occupation for centuries, right up until 1815.
Pausing beneath the Hall’s columns (and, if possible, extending the visit to the other landmarks I have just mentioned) will help the visitor understand the Sri Lankan people's wish to reclaim and preserve their identity and historical memory.

翻译：独立纪念堂有助于界定这一区域的轮廓，该区域的整体景观都是为歌颂斯里兰卡的独立而设计的。在其南侧不远处便是独立拱廊，这是一座殖民时期的建筑。它曾长期被称为“科伦坡精神病院”（该机构于1889年至1926年间在此运营），后来才更名为现在的名字。在此之前，整个区域都是一片肉桂种植园（面积超过一平方公里），其最初的名称即为“肉桂园”。至今仍在使用——不过现在它指的是科伦坡最负盛名的住宅区、机构与商业区。
这些事件反映了该区域在形成当前布局前的演变过程——这与如今它作为国家独立庆典场所的单一功能形成鲜明对比（这一主题也体现在地名上：如附近的独立广场和独立大道）。
与独立拱廊不同，。独立纪念堂正是为纪念国家独立这一时刻而建造的；同理，矗立在纪念堂与拱廊之间的雕像也是为此目的而立。该雕像描绘的是斯里兰卡首任总理（1947–1952年）、“国父” D.S.塞纳纳亚克。独立纪念堂建于1953年，其特色在于拥有既有顶盖又开阔通风的宽敞柱廊——这一设计丝毫不妨碍它于1948年承办斯里兰卡国民议会的首次会议。它的建筑灵感极具意义：“马古尔·马杜瓦”（庆典厅），也就是康提王国的御前会议厅。康提王国是岛上最后一个本土王国——这个王国数个世纪以来成功抵御了无数殖民者入侵的企图，直至1815年才陷落。
站在大厅的柱子下稍作驻足吧（如果可能的话……参观我刚才提到的其他地标，将有助于游客理解斯里兰卡人民重新确立并维护自身身份认同与历史记忆的愿望。
