英国人的骄傲是他们有世界上最古老的、创立于1209年的剑桥大学。为了保证该大学在大英帝国和世界上的领先地位,院方就要让“天下英雄尽入其彀中”。要召来天下英雄,也非一件容易之事。于是,有人建议:学校出资,让教授们来喝下午茶。校方欣然采纳,于是缘自于英国平民和贵族的下午茶生活方式自然而然转移到了剑桥和其他大学,成为一种制度和呼声:来吧,来喝下午茶,不付费。这个神来的创意很快付诸实施,到今天已喝出价值连城的成果。
The pride of the British is that they have the oldest Cambridge University in the world, founded in 1209. In order to ensure the University’s leading position in the British Empire and in the world, the hospital must let “the heroes of the world do their tricks.” It is not an easy thing to call a hero in the world. Therefore, it was suggested that the school should provide funding for the professors to have afternoon tea. The school gladly adopted it, and the afternoon tea lifestyle that originated from British civilians and aristocrats naturally shifted to Cambridge and other universities, becoming a system and cry: Come on, come and have afternoon tea, and don’t pay for it. This divine idea was quickly put into practice. To date, the value of the city has been drunk.
