Located in central London is a public park that remains hidden to even the locals.
伦敦市中心坐落着一个即使是当地人也未必知道的公园。
The medieval style church of St. Dunstan in the East was built in around 1100 and has had a long 900-year-old history.
中世纪风格的圣邓斯坦教堂位于伦敦东区,建于1100年左右,目前已有900年历史。
In 1666, it was rebuilt after being damaged in the Great Fire of London.
1666年伦敦大火,这座教堂也未能幸免。大火过后,教堂进行了重建。
Then, during World War II, a direct hit during the London Blitz destroyed a majority of the structure,
二战的伦敦闪电战期间,教堂大部分地方都受到了直接的破坏,
leaving behind only the north and south walls and steeple.
最后只剩下了教堂的南北墙和尖塔。
Instead of rebuilding once again, the city of London decided to turn the remains of St. Dunstan in the East into the public garden,
这次,伦敦市政府决定不再重建,而是将东区的圣邓斯坦遗址改造成一座公共花园,
which is accessible today if you know where to look.
花园今天依旧可以参观,如果你知道哪儿能找到的话。
Tucked away from the main road, the garden is situated between the Tower of London and London Bridge.
远离主干道的花园就坐落在伦敦塔和伦敦桥之间。
The green, ivy-covered walls, trees and flowers offer an enchanting escape from the city and serve as a reminder of London's history.
花园里的树木,鲜花和爬满墙壁的常春藤不仅为人们提供了一个暂时逃离城市的魅力所在,也时刻提醒着人们伦敦的过去。
