sense[解析] 1-20To develop a little the line of the poet Edmund Spenser, who in the sixteenth century wrote, Sweet Thames run softly, fill I end my song : it still runs softly enough but could never be called sweet in any gustatory sense. If its brown-black color fails to sound sufficient warning we could, but will refrain from recalling the dreadful things that Thames oarsmen say a mere mouthful will do to anyone who falls in. Probably Spenser was using the word sweet in the sense of dear rather than of pleasing odour . Not necessarily though, for the river was still, a century after Spenser, clear enough for noblemen to dive into from the terraces of their waterside mansions. However, Spenser would probably be cheered to learn that today the river is chemically in better shape than it has been for many years…a fact borne out by the numbers and varieties of fish now to be found, and angled for, in the reaches of Central London, that is, roughly, between, Battersea and Tower Bridges.More important, perhaps, than its perfume or opacity, the Thames is an invaluable vantage point from which to see London, observing how the great machine works and how it has changed. The river traffic was once brisker: engravings of the Thames around London Bridge tend to depict almost as many craft on the water as buildings on the bank. Traders and ferries pried up, down and across, fetching and delivering at the numerous water-steps and warehouses that line the shores. For Romantics, seeking a location to sympathize with a mood, this is free; the river is a constant and varied source. By night the floodlighting of St. Paul s, the myriad bulbs on Chelsea Bridge, contrast with the black liquid ribbon that winds between them. By day there are a hundred visits to make the spirit soar, from Westminster to the Pool of London, and downstream to Greenwich. In a gentler mood it is pleasant to move upstream, where the river seems narrower, and there imitate the mud-larks, wandering the shore at Strand-on-the-Green or Isleworth; it is calmer here, and a sudden flight of ducks seems almost to bring a whiff of the open countryside.
