很久以前,为了开辟新的街道,伦敦拆除了许多陈旧的楼房。然而新路却久久没有开工,旧楼房的地基在那里,任凭日晒雨淋。有一天,一群自然科学家来到了这里,他们发现,在这一片多年来未见天日的地基上,这些日子里因为接触了春天的阳光雨露,竟长出了一片野花野草。奇怪的是,其中有一些花草却是在英国从来没有见到过的,它们通常只生长在地中海沿岸国家。这些被拆除的楼房,大多都是在罗马人沿着泰晤士河进攻英国时建造的,大概花草的种耔就是那个时候被带到了这里。它们被压在沉重的石头砖瓦之下,一年又一年,几乎已经完全丧失了生存的机会。但令人感到意外的是,一旦它们见到了阳光,就立即恢复了勃勃生机,绽开了一朵朵美丽的鲜花。 Long ago, many old buildings were demolished in London to open up new streets. However, the new road has not started a long time, the foundation of the old buildings where, despite the sun and rain. One day a group of natural scientists came here and found that they had grown wild flowers and weeds on these days of undiscovered foundation and their exposure to spring sunshine and rain these days. Curiously, some of these flowers are never seen in England, and they usually only grow in Mediterranean countries. Most of the demolished buildings were built when the Romans attacked Britain along the River Thames, and it was then that the species of flowers and plants were brought here. They are pressed under heavy stones and tiles, and year after year, almost completely losing their chances of survival. But what is surprising is that once they see the sunlight, they immediately regained their vitality and blossomed into beautiful flowers.
