Inside view
Conversion 1
Janet Hey, look at that! It‘s just like I‘ve seen it in the films!
Andy Welcome to London, my hometown. We are in Shoutwark, south of the river. there‘s
London bridge off to your left, and there‘s Tower Bridge.
Janet I‘m really impressed. How old is it?
Andy It‘s only about 120 years old.
Janet well, that‘s quite old.
Andy the London Docks used to be around this area. What happened was that about three or
four times a day, they raised Tower Bridge, so the bigger ships could come right into
London. But because they couldn‘t go under London bridge, they had to stop and
unload here.
Janet Does Tower Bridge still open?
Andy well, not so often. When I was a kid, I think I saw tower bridge go up fairy often, all
the traffic had to wait for the ships to pass through the bridge. Anyway, just this side of
London bridge were lots of warehouses, where they kept their cargo. But during the
second world war, there was lots of bombing over London…
Janet yes, I read about that…the Blitz?
Andy that‘s right. And even when I was a kid, I remember that many of the buildings were
still damaged. But in the late 1980s and 90s, this whole area was redeveloped, you can
see for yourself, it‘s a trendy place to live now.
Janet is the river thames still polluted?
Andy well, it certainly used to be polluted. I remember it had a very distinctive smell, if you
fell in, they used to take you to hospital.
Janet that‘s sounds revolting!
Andy yes, but in the 1960s, they cleaned it up, and in fact it‘s now one of the cleanest city
rivers in the world.

珍妮特 嘿,看那!和我在电影里看到的一样啊 !
安迪 欢迎来到我的故乡伦敦。我们现在是在河的南边---southwark,在你的左边是伦敦大
桥,那边是伦敦塔桥。
珍妮特 真让人叹为观止啊!他有多长的历史了?
安迪 只有大概120年吧。
珍妮特 已经很久了。
安迪 轮的码头以前就在这附近,他们以前每天都会吧塔桥升起来三四次,以便让大船
进入伦敦,但船又不能通过伦敦大桥,所以只能在这停下来下货了。
珍妮特 塔桥现在还会开放吗?
安迪 嗯,偶尔吧。我小的时候经常看到塔桥升起来,当时所有的车都会停下来等桥下
