英國遊學團：探索牛津大學的歷史與傳奇
日期: 03/04/2025
Explore the History and Legends of Oxford University
This afternoon, we stepped into the world's toppest university - "Oxford University". We are very honored to invite Lisa, a professor at Oxford University, to vividly explain the long history and legendary stories of this thousand-year-old prestigious university to the students.
The students visited the filming locations of many classic movies, including the filming location of Hogwarts Hall in "Harry Potter", the inspiration source of Lewis Carroll, the author of "Alice in Wonderland", and the scenes of "Narnia". Standing in the places of these stories, it seems to have travelled into the world of movies.
Professor Lisa also shared the stories of many famous Oxford alumni, including former Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten and former US President Bill Clinton's experiences at Oxford University.
During the trip, the students visited the research footprints of astronomer **Edmond Halley** at Oxford University in the 17th century. It was here that Halley observed and calculated the orbit of Halley's Comet and successfully predicted its return time, laying an important foundation for astronomy. The students listened with great interest and their passion for scientific exploration became stronger!
今天下午，我們踏入了世界頂尖學府——「牛津大學」。我們非常榮幸邀請到牛津大學教授Lisa，為同學們生動講解這所千年名校的悠久歷史與傳奇故事。
同學們走訪了多部經典電影的拍攝地點，包括《哈利波特》中霍格華茲大廳的取景地、《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》作者路易斯·卡羅的靈感來源地，以及《夢幻王國》的場景。站在這些故事的地方，彷彿穿越進了電影世界。
Lisa教授還分享了多位牛津著名校友的事蹟，包括前港督彭定康、美國前總統克林頓在牛津大學的經歷。
行程中，同學們更實地考察了天文學家**愛德蒙·哈雷**在17世紀於牛津大學的研究足跡。當年，哈雷正是在這裡觀察並計算出哈雷彗星的公轉軌道，並成功預測其回歸時間，為天文學奠定重要基礎。同學們聽得津津有味，對科學探索的熱情更加濃厚！
