这就是伦敦2.0的开始
As the centuries passed,
又过了几个世纪
Westminster grew and mergedwith nearby towns
威斯敏斯特不断扩张 合并周边城镇
eventually surrounding the walled-in, and still separate City of London.
最后把在城墙内独立出来的伦敦城包围在内
But, people began to call the whole urban collection "London"
人们开始把整个合并起来的市区称作“伦敦”
and the name became official
当议会把这些城镇都合并起来
when Parliament joined towns together under a single municipalgovernment with a mayor.
归于一个市政府管理的时候 “伦敦”这个名字就成为官方用语
But, the mayor of London still doesn't have power over the tiny City of London
但伦敦城长同样没有权力干涉伦敦城这个小小的城市
which has rules and traditions like nowhere else in the country and possibly the world.
它有自己的规则和传统 在全国甚至全世界是找不到一个这样的城市了
For example, the ruling monarchdoesn't just enter the City of London on a whim,
譬如 在位的英国女王如果为了一时的心血来潮想进入伦敦城
but instead asks for permission from the Lord Mayor at a ceremony.
也要在礼节上获得伦敦城市长的许可
