bbc英语听力mp3下载：雾都的浪漫与现实

Without the fog, London would not be a beautiful city. It is the fog that gives it its marvellous breadth. Its regular massive blocks become grandiose in this mysterious cloak. For Monet, the smoggy conditions made London beautiful. For Marx, they made it hellish. The source of the acrid smog was the factories of Whitechapel, Stepney and Bethnal Green in the East End. The living conditions in this notorious district represented all that Marx and his followers railed against.

没有了大雾的伦敦将会黯然失色。是雾诠释了伦敦的广博，城中端整厚实的街道楼宇被雾气勾勒出伟岸的身形。在莫奈眼中，伦敦因雾而美，而马克思却将这景象视为炼狱。这些刺鼻的烟雾排放自伦敦东区白教堂、斯代尼和贝斯诺格林等地的工厂。这个区域恶劣的生活状况成了马克思及其追随者批判的对象。
