<1>Bristol, 布里斯托城市

With an approximate population of 410,950, and urban area of 550,200, it is England's sixth, and the United Kingdom's ninth most populous city, one of England's core cities and the most populous city in South West England. It received a royal charter in 1155 and was granted county status in 1373. For half a millennium it was the second or third largest English city, until the rapid rise of Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester in the Industrial Revolution in the later part of the 18th century. It borders on the Counties of Somerset, and Gloucestershire, between the cities of Bath, Gloucester and Newport, and has a short coastline on the estuary of the River Severn, which flows into the Bristol Channel.

Bristol is one of the centres of culture, employment and education in the region. From its earliest days, its prosperity has been linked to that of the Port of Bristol, the commercial port, which was in the city centre but has now moved to the Severn estuary coast at Avonmouth and Portbury. In more recent years the economy has been built on the aerospace industry, and the city centre docks have been regenerated as a centre of heritage and culture.^[2]

^{布里斯托人口大概41万, 地方城镇人口大概55万, 是英格兰第六大的城市,英国第九大的城市,而且也是在英格兰西南最重要的城市之一. 它在1155年获得皇家特许证(政府或统治者准许成立的城镇,大学等并授予特权), 在1373成为郡. 将近500年的时间,布里斯托都是英格兰第二或第三大的城市,直到利物浦.伯明翰,曼城由于18世纪工业革命崛起. 区域的界限在Somerset 和Gloucestershire, 在巴斯，Glouceter和Newport之间，有海岸线在river severn 的入海口，然后流入Brisotol Channel.}

^{布里斯托是区域文化，教育和娱乐的中心。在很久以前，它的财富联系到布里斯托的港口，这个商业港口原来是在市中心的，现在被搬到了Seven Estuary 海岸在Avonmouth. 现在的经济主要是航空工业，市中心的大货舱被视为是文化和历史的遗产}

<2> 布里斯托大学

The University was preceded by University College, Bristol, founded in 1876,^[12] where its first lecture was attended by only 99 students.^[24] The University was able to apply for a Royal Charter due to the financial support of the Wills and Fry families, who made their fortunes in tobacco plantations and chocolate, respectively. Although the Wills Family made huge sums of money from the slave-produced plantations, they later became abolitionists who gave their money to the city of Bristol.^[25] The Royal Charter was gained in May 1909, with 288 undergraduates and 400 other students entering the University in October 1909. Henry Overton Wills III became its first chancellor.^[12] The University College was the first such institution in the country to admit women on the same basis as men.^[12]

布里斯托大学的前身是布里斯托学院成立于1876年，大学的第一节课只有99个学生。学校之所以能获得皇家颁发的大学认可多亏于有威尔斯家族和弗莱家族的经济赞助，他们分别从烟草和可可种植地中发了财。尽管威尔斯家族的大部分钱财来自于靠奴隶生产的种植园，他们后来还是成为了支持废除奴隶制度的支持者并且赞助了布里斯托城府。布里斯托正式成为大学是在1909年的五月，当时有288个大学生，同年的10月份400个学生成为了大学的学生。亨利 奥文顿 威尔斯三世成为了大学的第一任校长。布里斯托学院是英国最早承认女性大学生的大学。

Among the famous names associated with Bristol in this early period is Paul Dirac, who graduated in 1921 with a degree in engineering, before obtaining a second degree in mathematics in 1923 from Cambridge. For his subsequent pioneering work on quantum mechanics, he was awarded the 1933 Nobel Prize for Physics.^[34] Later in the 1920s, the H.H. Wills Physics Laboratory was opened by Ernest Rutherford.^[35] It has since housed several Nobel Prize winners: Cecil Frank Powell (1950);^[36] Hans Albrecht Bethe (1967);^[37] and Sir Nevill Francis Mott (1977).^[38] The Laboratory stands on the same site today, close to the Bristol Grammar School and the city museum.

在布里斯托大学早期的名人中， Paul Dirac 由于长期的从事量子力学前沿工作获得了1933年的诺贝尔物理学奖；20年代以后，H.H. Wills物理实验室出了3名诺贝尔学家，他们是 Cecil Frank Powell，Hans Albrecht Bethe，Sir Nevill Francis Mott 他们分别在1950，1967，1977年获得了诺贝尔奖。现在的H.H.Wills物理实验室也是布里斯托大学的物理的授课点，我今年选修的微积分就是在其中的Powell Lecture Theatre上的，很多东西都是木质的，看起来很舒服也很传统。

Sir Winston Churchill became the University's third Chancellor in 1929, serving the University in that capacity until 1965.^[12] He succeeded Richard Haldane who had held the office from 1912 following the death of Henry Wills.^[29][26]

值得一提的是在1929年温斯顿丘吉尔成为了布里斯托大学的第三人校长，一直上任到1965年。布里斯托的工程学院至今还可以清晰的看到丘吉尔立下的基石！

布大的标志建筑威尔斯纪念建筑和左手边的布里斯托博物馆，威尔斯建筑在二战的时候被炸毁了很大一部分，现在的威尔斯建筑是经过从修的，它现在也是法律系的建筑 （Wills Memorial Building & City Museum on the left)

由于布大不是Campus大学，大学分布相对在市中心，因此大学附近在上班的高峰期显得十分繁忙。（Uni of Bristol is not a campus university,it spreads in the city centre area,it is normally very busy during working hours）
