点评:We had seen another sign-posted “house” on our way out of Chawton, so we decided to go to it. What a splendid hidden gem! It was Gilbert White's House in neighboring Selborne. Neither of us knew anything about him but it was fun to learn about him. He’s basically a parson / naturalist / ecologist / ornithologist / gardner. Part of the museum was dedicated to Frank and Captain Oakes, the former explored Africa and the latter was part of Captain Scott's ill-omened expedition to the South Pole. (This exhibit was there because the house was purchased by an Oakes who asked the museum to always have some exhibits about Oakes. It was fascinating and sad.)
After walking about the gardens and finding its various treasures, we opted for a cafe lunch. I had a delicious ham sandwich with brie and carmelized onion chutney on sourdough. My wife had a quiche made from pesto, sundried tomatoes, and haloumi. Tasty.
翻译:在离开查顿的路上,我们看到了另一处挂着路牌的“房子”,于是决定进去看看。真是个隐藏的瑰宝!那是吉尔伯特·怀特在邻近塞尔伯恩的故居。我们俩对他一无所知,但了解他的故事很有趣。他基本上是一位牧师/博物学家/生态学家/鸟类学家/园丁。博物馆的一部分专门纪念弗兰克和奥克斯船长,前者探索了非洲,后者则参与了斯科特船长那次不祥的南极探险。(之所以设立这个展览,是因为房子被奥克斯家族买下,他要求博物馆一直展出一些关于奥克斯的展品。这既令人着迷又令人悲伤。)在花园里漫步,找到了各种珍宝后,我们选择了一家咖啡馆吃午餐。我点了一份美味的火腿三明治,配上布里干酪和焦糖洋葱酸辣酱,再配上酸面包。我妻子点了一份用香蒜酱、晒干的番茄和哈罗米奶酪做成的乳蛋饼。可口。
