溫徹斯特大教堂 被洪水淹沒的溫徹斯特大教堂地下室 自1986年以來，安東尼·葛姆利的雕塑“聲音II”就一直站在英格蘭南部溫徹斯特大教堂（Manchester Cathedral）泛濫的地下墓穴中–并非試圖讓水管工掛在號(hào)角上，而是靜靜地站著守衛(wèi)并研究水中的水。它的手心。在大教堂的其他地方，您還會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)另一個(gè)著名的雕像：威廉·迪弗·比爾·沃克（William'Diver Bill'Walker）的肖像，他是當(dāng)?shù)赜⑿?，?906年開始的六年中，他穿著沉重的潛水服獨(dú)自工作，以支撐水淹的建筑物。威脅要沉入下面的沼澤土壤中。如今，它是穩(wěn)定的，但是在雨季，最低水位仍然可以看到其停水量。

我們來到9世紀(jì)主教Swithin（有時(shí)拼寫為Swithun）的盛宴，現(xiàn)在被尊為大教堂的守護(hù)神。但是，圣斯威汀（St. Swithin）最常見的名字是古老的天氣諺語，即“圣在Swithin那天，如果你下雨，它將持續(xù)40天。這有點(diǎn)像英國(guó)的土撥鼠日：如果附近的圣斯威汀橋上下雨，還要再過40天的洪水。

好消息是：如果您還算公正，那么在Swithin的日子里，持續(xù)40天的“ twill rain nae mare”。但是，如果這一切聽起來對(duì)您來說聽起來像胡鬧，請(qǐng)嘗試今天的測(cè)驗(yàn)，看看您是否認(rèn)為其他任何天氣民俗都可以滿足。

英語原文:

'Sound II,' this sculpture by Antony Gormley, has stood here in the oft-flooded crypt of Winchester Cathedral in the south of England since 1986—not trying to get a plumber on the horn, but quietly standing guard and studying the water in its cupped hands. Elsewhere in the cathedral you'll find another notable statue: The likeness of William 'Diver Bill' Walker, a local hero who—for six years starting in 1906—worked alone in a heavy diving suit to shore up the increasingly flooded structure as it threatened to sink into the boggy soil beneath. Nowadays it's stable, but the lowest level still sees its share of standing water during rainy periods.We're here on the feast day of Swithin (sometimes spelled Swithun), the 9th-century bishop who's now venerated as patron saint of the cathedral. But St. Swithin is most commonly name-dropped in an old weather proverb that begins, 'St. Swithin's day if thou dost rain, for 40 days it will remain.'The good news: 'St. Swithin's day if thou be fair, for 40 days 'twill rain nae mare.' But if this all just sounds like hooey to you, try today's quiz and see if you think any other weather folklore holds water.
