现代的朝圣者乘车去坎特伯雷乔叟的朝圣者从伦敦出发去坎特伯雷是坐在牲口鞍子上慢步前进的;而我们在降灵节乘出租汽车作这次具有历史意义的旅行要快多了。我们是在六月间前往的,比乔叟的“四月”更无春意,不时有阵阵骤雨袭来,好不烦人。英国朋友们说这一年的夏季是二十五年来最阴冷潮湿的。 Modern Pilgrims Ride to Canterbury Qantas Pilgrims Depart London to Canterbury is walking slowly on the saddle of animals; and we were taking a taxi to make this historic trip much faster during the Day of Descent . We traveled in June, more than Spring in April, and it was not annoying at all. British friends said that the summer of this year was the coldest and wet in twenty-five years.
