The Sherlock Holmes Museum is a popular privately-run museum in London, England, dedicated to the famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. It opened in 1990 and is situated in Baker Street, bearing the number 221b by permission of the City of Westminster[1], although it lies between numbers 237 and 241, near the north end of Baker Street in central London close to Regent's Park.

The Georgian town house which the museum occupies as "221b Baker Street" was formerly used as a boarding house from 1860 to 1936, and covers the period of 1881 to 1904 when Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson were reported to have resided there as tenants of Mrs Hudson. The museum is run by the Sherlock Holmes International Society, a non-profit making organisation.

Numbering dispute

The address 221B was the subject of a protracted dispute between the museum and the nearby Abbey National building. Since the 1930s, the Royal Mail had been delivering mail addressed to Sherlock Holmes to the Abbey National Bank, and they had employed a special secretary to deal with such correspondence. The museum went through several appeals for such mail to be delivered to it, on the grounds that it was the most appropriate organisation to respond to the mail, rather than the bank whose primary business was to lend money out on interest. Although these initiatives were all unsuccessful, the issue was finally resolved in 2002 when the Abbey National vacated its headquarters after seventy years, and the mail is currently delivered to the museum.

Family objections

Dame Jean Conan Doyle made clear her lack of approval for the museum when she was asked about it. She was very much against the idea of suggesting that her father's creation was a real person and knew that the presence of the museum would reinforce the idea in the minds of many that Holmes had really existed.[4]This idea was strengthened further by the presence of a commemorative blue plaque on the outside that states the years of Holmes's supposed residency. The plaque is similar in design to those erected by English Heritage but it is not one of theirs as they only erect plaques to people who have really lived.

The Museum did offer Dame Jean the opportunity to create a room in the museum dedicated to her father, but this offer was refused, and since then the last remaining possessions of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle have been sold off at auction.

世界新七大奇迹vs旧八大奇迹(英文版)

New 7 Wonders vs. Ancient 7 Wonders New: Christ the Redeemer Statue Photograph by Samba Photo/Photonica/Getty Images The 105-foot-tall (38-meter-tall) "Christ the Redeemer" statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was among the "new seven wonders of the world" announced July 7 following a global poll to decide a new list of human-made marvels. The winners were voted for by Internet and phone, American Idol style. The other six new wonders are the Colosseum in Rome, India's Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, Jordan's ancient city of Petra, the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru, and the ancient Maya city of Chichén Itzá in Mexico. The contest was organized by the New7Wonders Foundation—the brainchild of Swiss filmmaker and museum curator Bernard Weber—in order to "protect humankind's heritage across the globe." The foundation says the poll attracted almost a hundred million votes.

世界七大奇观中英文对照介绍

世界七大奇观是由马其顿王国（Macedonia，公元前4世纪中叶至前2世纪中叶）的亚历山大大帝（Alexander the Greater，公元前356-前323）统治时期建于西亚、北非及爱琴海地区的七处规模较大的雄伟建筑与雕刻品，被古希腊和古罗马的观察家们认可为古代遗迹中最非凡的艺术品和建筑作品。世界七大奇观的名单有时会有所不同，以下以古代西顿（Sidon）作家安提帕特（Antipater，公元前398？-前319）在他的一本游记中所列举的七大奇观为准。它不但被广泛使用而且还是标准的名单，七大奇观中除金字塔外，其他六个均未完整保存下来。 1.埃及金字塔（Pyramid） 世界七大奇观之一。金字塔是古代所建的一种方锥形建筑物，因其外形像汉语的“金”字，在中国译称“金字塔”。墨西哥、希腊、苏丹等国都有金字塔，但名声最为显赫的是埃及的金字塔。埃及金字塔是古埃及文明的代表作，是埃及国家的象征。古埃及的金字塔目前保存下来的约有80座，是为古埃及法老（Pharaoh——古埃及国王的称号）修建的陵墓。最大的一座是古埃及第四朝法老胡夫（Khufu）的金字塔，称为“大金字塔”（The Great Pyramid），位于开罗近郊吉萨（Giza），建于大约公元前27世纪。它的底座成方形，每边长约232米，高约146米，用230余万块（每块重约2.5吨）巨石叠成。塔内有墓室、石阶及甬道等结构。据说建塔时，每天投入80万劳动力，历时30年方建成。就当时的生产力水平而言，其设计与建筑水平已达到相当惊人的程度。“大金字塔”附近建有法老哈夫拉（Khafra，约公元前20世纪）的金字塔及斯芬克斯巨型石雕像。现存于吉萨的70余座金字塔大都残损破朽，墓室里的财宝也被盗劫一空。 2.巴比伦空中花园（Hanging Garden of Babylon） 巴比伦空中花园在古巴比伦王国（今伊拉克南部）首府巴比伦城王宫内，是国王尼布甲尼撤二世（NebuchadnezzaⅡ，公元前604-公元前562）建造的。为了安慰患上思乡病的王妃安美依迪丝（Amyitis），仿照王妃在山上的故居兴建的。其实，它并非真正的“空中花园”，而是建在一系列塔庙的平台顶上的几层土坛，坛上遍种花草。远望时，它像一座花草覆盖的小山，近看时，则给人以花草悬空而植的感觉，故名“空中花园”。 3.以弗所的阿耳忒弥斯神殿（Temple of Artemis of Ephesus） 世界七大奇观之一，阿苔密斯（又译为“阿耳忒弥斯”）是希腊神话中的月亮女神和狩猎女神。古代以弗所（在今天的土耳其境内）的居民对阿苔密斯的崇拜甚盛，并建造了不少纪念她的神庙。公元前4世纪建成了这个最大的神殿。它用白色大理石建造，有不少廊柱用金、银、宝石缀饰。这座雄伟的大理石神庙是由昌底亚的国王克里萨斯出资筹建，由希腊建筑家车西夫若恩设计。神庙中装饰着由当时技艺最精湛的艺术家们所塑的青铜雕像，这个神殿被视为七大奇观中最美的一景。 4.奥林匹亚的宙斯神像（Statue 0f Zeus at Olympia） 世界七大奇观之一，它原在奥林匹亚的宙斯神庙（the Temple 0f Zeus at Olympia）里，由古代希腊著名雕刻家菲狄亚斯（Phidias，雅典人，主要活动时期在公元前448-前432）雕成。雕像为木质，高约10米，全身饰以象牙、金箔和宝石等昂贵材料，眼睛也是用宝石雕

Hello everyone, today I am very glad to lecture on the topic of “my first time.” As the saying goes, never has been to the Great Wall, never will be a bawcock. So I dream of visiting the Great Wall every day and night. And my long-cherished dream became a reality last year. Therefore it was my first time to climb up the Great Wall, which is one of the world's most famous wonders. I was so excited. Thanks for the trip; I have known how long the Great wall is! It crosses our mother land. At last we tired our best to reach the top of the Great Wall. When we looked around, it like an eastern dragon going across a large amount of mountains, grasslands, and finally run into the sea. Nowadays, I can be proud to proclaim that I am a bawcock.

In Ethiopia there are also nine national parks, two of which include the mountain groups of the Simien and the Bale, while the others lie in the Rift V alley towards Kenya. The unforeseeable wild landscapes are surely the main attraction of these parks, where many of the animal species are protected, and some of them are endemic to the area. The proximity of Ethiopia to the Equator and the variety of its habitats make it one of the richest countries in Africa in wild bird life. History and nature are not the only attractions of this surprising country. It is a unique experience to come into contact with its people, so deeply rooted in their traditional culture, to participate in religious rites in one of the many Coptic churches, to meet native populations like the Hamer, the Mursi, the Caro and the many others whose lifestyle is hard to imagine today, so far is it from our modern life. 埃塞俄比亚这个国家最让人神往的便是它无数的历史古迹，方尖石塔，阿克苏姆（Axum）石碑，教堂，塔纳湖岛Tigre的科普特人修道院，以及拉利贝拉（Lalibela）的非洲耶路撒冷的岩石教堂。在埃塞俄比亚还有9个国家公园，其中两座公园包括塞米恩山（Simien）和贝尔山（Bale）山群，其他的则坐落在东非大裂谷接近肯尼亚。一望无际的土地就是这些公园吸引游客的地方，这里有很多被保护的动物物种，其中有些动物是这个地区特有的。埃塞俄比亚靠近赤道，它栖息地的各种各样使得这个国家成为南非野生鸟类最多的国家之一。 当然，历史和文化还不是这个地方最引人注意的唯一事物，还有这里人们根深蒂固的独特的传统文化。这里科普特教会的宗教信仰，这里本地的人群，Hamer、Mursi、Caro以及其他一些，他们的生活方式是我们所无法想象的，离现代生活太遥远了。

世界新七大奇迹

世界“新七大奇迹”（中英文对照） 1.长城 The Great Wall, China. (长城，公元前220年和公元1368年–公元1644年，中国) 中国的万里长城是中国古代为抵御蒙古人入侵而建造的，它将已有的单个要塞连成一体，从而形成一个完整的防御体系。长城是世界上最大的人造工程，也是唯一可以从外太空看到的地球景观。为了修建巨大的长城，曾有上千万人为此献出了生命。简而言之－－长城是难以置信的坚毅和恒心的见证. The Great Wall of China was built to link existing fortifications into a united defense system and better keep invading Mongol tribes out of China. It is the largest man-made monument ever to have been built and it is disputed that it is the only one visible from space. Many thousands of people must have given their lives to build this colossal construction. 2.基督像 Christ Redeemer, Brazil. (基督像，1931，里约热内卢，巴西) 在里约热内卢的科尔科瓦杜山上有一座基督雕像，高达38米左右，雕像中的基督似乎正深情地俯瞰着美丽的里约热内卢。这座基督像是由一个叫Heitor da Silva Costa的巴西人和一个叫Paul Landowski 的法国雕刻家分别设计和创造的，是世界上最著名的古迹之一。巨型雕像的制作共花费了五年时间，最终于1931年10月12日完成了落成典礼。巨大的基督像张开双臂，似乎正在欢迎来参观的游人。如今，基督像已成为美丽的里约热内卢和巴西人热情的象征。简而言之－－基督像是热情接纳和宽阔胸怀的象征. This statue of Jesus stands some 38 meters tall, atop the Corcovado mountain overlooking Rio de Janeiro. Designed by Brazilian Heitor da Silva Costa and created by French sculptor Paul Landowski, it is one of the world’s best-known monuments. The statue took five years to construct and was inaugurated on October 12, 1931. It has become a symbol of the city and of the warmth of the Brazilian people, who receive visitors with open arms. 3.奇琴伊查金字塔
