The city of Oxford is changed a great deal
自从20世纪30年代我的三部曲以来
since my trio of founding novels in the 1930s.
牛津有了很大的改变
Think Morris Motors, Blackbird Leys,
想想莫里斯汽车公司,黑鸟利斯
think tourists in August,
想想八月份的游客
the university is altered even more.
牛津大学就改变得更多了
Think the dominance of science over classics, coeducational colleges
想想科学超过经典占据主导地位,男女同校的大学
think research driven labs and departments.
想想研究性的实验室和科系
And with those changes I've tried to suggest,
对于这些变化,我想要说
crime fiction has responded, reacted and reflected change
犯罪小说已经有所回应,回复和反映变化
Detective novels continue to provide us with ways
侦探小说除了情节
of thinking about Oxford
凶手和警察
that go beyond their plots, their perpetrators or their policemen.
继续为我们提供思索牛津的途径
Thank you.
谢谢
