Hi my Steemit friends!! Today I'm going to share my travel experience in HYDE PARK!! But before I start, please let me talk about 'Little Venice':))

親愛的朋友們大家好！今天，我將要分享我在海德公園的經歷！！但在這之前，請允許我先說說「小威尼斯」吧:):)

1. Little Venice

1. 「小威尼斯」

As you may remember, I went to Camden Town last time. After visiting the market, my friends and I took a boat trip along Regent's Canal. It starts at Little Venice and ends at Camden Lock Market (again ;pp). You'll know why it's called Little Venice by looking at the following pictures:

大家可能都記得，我上次去了康登鎮. 逛完了集市，我們沿著Regent's Canal來了一次觀光船旅行。我們從「小威尼斯」開始，在Camden Lock Market(又是它;pp)結束。看了下面的照片，你就會知道這裏為什麼會被稱作「小威尼斯」啦:

There was a waterside cafe in which you can enjoy a cup of coffee!! You can choose to sit either on land or boat ;ppp

在這裏有個河傍咖啡廳，你既可以選擇坐在陸上，也可以選擇坐在船上;ppp

Ready to start the journey?

準備好開始新的旅程了嗎？

That's what the ticket looks like:

船票長得是這個樣子的：

The ducks were close to us!! Actually, there were still people living on boats. But obviously, their life was far from convenient and comfortable.

這些小鴨子離我們真近！其實，這裏仍然有不少船上人家。但顯而易見的是，他們的生活既不舒適也不便利。

Look at the little house for the birds at the back...It's just CUTEEE!!!!!! >V<

快看後面這些專門為水鳥而搭的小屋子！！實在是太可愛啦！！！>V<

And this one...home for the frogs!!

還有這張...是青蛙的家哦！！

Along the journey, I saw a CHINESE TEMPLE on water!!! WHAT?? While I was wondering why it's there, the guide told us that it's actually a FLOATING CHINESE RESTAURANT!! It's called Feng Shang Princess. I didn't try it so I can't say if the food's good or not. But I am sure that it's a nice (yet odd) place to experience Chinese culture! It looks more fantastic at night :):)

在圖中，我看見了一家中國寺廟！！什麼？？？正在我百思不得其解時，導遊告訴我們，這原來是一家漂浮中餐館！！它名叫「舫膳」。由於我沒有試過，我不能評論它的出品。但可以肯定的是，如果想體驗中國文化，這是一個不錯(但奇怪)的選擇哦！在夜晚，它顯得更加迷人:):)

The journey took us about an hour. When we returned to Camden, we saw this lovely ice cream van which looked very different from those found in Hong Kong. I LOVE Disneyyyyy!!!!!

這一程用了大概一個小時。當我們回到康登鎮的時候，我們見到了這輛可愛的雪糕車，它跟我們在香港見到的很不一樣哦！我愛迪士尼！！！！

2. Hyde Park

2. 海德公園

Now, I'd like to introduce Hyde Park to you :):) It's the largest Royal Park in London. It used to be the HUNTING GROUND of Henry VIII. Therefore, as you can imagine, it's MASSIVE. It became SUPER popular after it opened to the public in the 17th Century.

現在，是時候介紹海德公園啦:):) 它是倫敦最大的皇家公園。它曾經是亨利VIII的狩獵場。所以，你可以想像到它有多麼的廣闊。當它在17世紀開放給市民後，它就成了其中一個最受歡迎的公園。

That's what it looks like in autumn🍁

這是秋天的海德公園🍁

We all know that London is notorious for its weather. So, on a sunny day, you can find many people enjoying the kiss of the sun on the huge grassland in Hyde Park:

我們都知道，倫敦的天氣不怎麼好。所以，在陽光明媚的一天，許多人們都會選擇在遼闊的草坪上盡情享受陽光的擁抱：

Actually, it hasn't changed for CENTURIES:

其實呀，這個習慣幾百年來都沒有變哦：

We were DUMFOUNDED by its beauty 🍃 In Hong Kong, you never have a chance to relax in a park like this.

我們被它的美所折服🍃 在香港這個地方，你怎麼也不會有這樣的機會放鬆自己。

There are a lot of squirrels. They move really fast!

這裏有好多小松鼠。牠們跑得十分快！

See how large this tree is!!!!!

這棵樹是有多大呀！！

Missed the time when I was a kid :')

真懷念我還是個孩子得時候:')

These children were SOOOO nice!! They thought it was a stray dog so they tried to give it water using their hands ❤️ If you have a dog, please don't leave it alone :'((( Though you can't tell in the picture, It was shaking :'(

真是些好心的小朋友！！因為他們以為這是無家可歸的狗狗，所以他們正嘗試用手捧水給牠喝❤️如果你家也有狗狗，請不要獨留牠們在外哦:'(( 雖然這張照片看不出來，但牠在顫抖:'(

There's a LARGE lake in Hyde Park. You can see swans, ducks, albatrosses (yes they also swim in lakes), and...ummm...and... the tiny duck-like white-headed black birds? Sorry they are the only birds I can name (omg) LOLLLL! And you can roll a boat on the lake!!

在海德公園有一個巨大的湖。那裏有天鵝，鴨子，海鷗(沒錯，牠們也是會在湖裏游的哦)，還有......ummm......還有......像鴨子一樣的白頭黑身小鳥？太對不起了，這已經是我所有能叫出名字的鳥了(天吶)hahahaha!!! 你還可以泛舟湖上呢！！

INTERESTING FACT: ALL the mute swans in the U.K. belong to the Queen. They are strictly protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. If you injure a swan/steal a swan egg, you are subject to a max. £5,000 fine or six months in jail.

冷知識：英國所有的疣鼻天鵝都是屬於英女王的。牠們受到Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981的絕對保護。如果你傷了一隻天鵝／偷了一隻鵝蛋，你會受到最高£5,000的罰款或者是6個月的監禁。

Actually, swans are super stars in London. There are many pubs called "the Swan" in London. Like the Swan in the City of London, the Swan in Hammersmith, the Swan at Shakespeare's Globe, among others. You may be interested in this article on the swans in London :):)

其實，天鵝是倫敦的大明星。倫敦有許多以「天鵝」(the Swan) 命名的酒吧，有如the Swan in the City of London, the Swan in Hammersmith, the Swan at Shakespeare's Globe等等。你可能會對這篇關於倫敦天鵝的文章有興趣哦:):)

Apart from its size and beauty, Hyde Park is famous for the Speakers' Corner. It is where people gather to do public speaking and debate. Any topic is allowed as long as it's lawful. In the 1800s, there were many public riots in London. Hyde Park was usually their main assembly point for protest. Also, these riots raised people's awareness towards freedom of speech. Since then, the Speakers' Corner has become a traditional area for debate and public speech.

海德公園不僅以它的美麗聞名，它還以它的「演說者之角」著名。人們聚集在這裏公開演講、討論及辯論。只要不犯法，所有的題材都無任歡迎。在18年代，倫敦發生了不少動亂，而海德公園常常做為示威者的集合地點。再者，這些示威遊行提升了人們對言論自由的意識。從此以後，演說者之角就漸漸發展成為公開演講及辯論的傳統之地了。

Well-known speakers who sued to speak at Speakers' Corner include Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx and George Orwell, to name a few. That's what it looks like today:

在這裏演講過的著名人物有列寧、卡爾·馬克思及喬治·歐威爾等等。這就是它現在的樣子：

In the past, speakers were allowed to stand on large boxes or ladders. Nowadays, only small step ladders are allowed.
OR ARE THEY?? Unfortunately, NO. In June 2017, just less than a month ago, police banned ladders and platforms from Speakers' Corner due to concerns of public safety. This may end the 150-YEAR tradition. Next time when I go there, will I see these ladders again? Please read this news article to know more.

從前，政府允許人們在大型箱子或梯子上演講。但時至今日，他們只能站在小型梯子上。
真的嗎？可惜的是，非也。就在2017年6月，不到1個月之前，警察以維護公眾秩序為由，在演說者之角禁止了任何的梯子或平台。這有可能終止150年建立下來的傳統。等到下次我去的時候，還能見到這些人嗎？想知道更多，請瀏覽這篇新聞報導。

Ok, time for a lighter topic. There's a Diana Memorial Fountain in the Park. It symbolizes Princess Diana's quality and openness. It looks amazing, doesn't it:)

好吧，換個輕鬆點兒的話題吧。這是黛安娜王妃紀念噴泉哦:) 它代表了黛安娜的高尚品格。看起來十分美妙，對嗎:)

On our way home, we saw a bus. No, it's not. It says 'M__ & R___'s Wedding Party'!!!! How sweet!!! ❤️
