They also threaten London’s cultural identity – and some think they’re just plain ugly. Using the word ’plain’ in this context emphasises the adjective that follows. Just plain ugly – means: very ugly. 
他们还影响到了伦敦的文化特征——一些人认为那些新高楼很丑。他用了“plain”这个单词来强调后面的形容词。plain ugly——意思就是非常丑。
Indeed, well that’s the opinion of this group, but not of all Londoners. Nonetheless, they’re working to halt – or to stop – the incoming tide of new skyscrapers.An incoming tide is the rise of the sea that happens every day, which makes it come further into the land.A strong image – and a lovely idiom to use when something is happening more and more.
没错，这就是那些反对者的意见，但并不代表全伦敦人的想法。但是他们一直在努力叫停这种疯狂的新建高楼的潮流。incoming tide指的是海水的上涨，这种现象每天都会发生。海水会升高，接近地面。这是一个非常形象的画面——用来形容某件事发生的越来越多。
Yes, earlier we heard the phrasal verb ’spring up’. Which similar phrasal verb was used by the reporter? 
没错，之前我们还听到过一个描述是spring up。这个播报员还用到了一个相似的动词短语，是什么来着？
They say more than 200 more skyscrapers are being thoughtlessly thrown up across London. 
他们说全伦敦有超过200多个高楼被草率的建造起来。
Thrown up. If something is thrown up, it’s made quickly and without a lot of care. 
Thrown up。如果某物thrown up，意思就是速度非常快，没有特别用心去做。
But be careful – to ’throw up’ also has a different meaning – which is to vomit or be sick! Rob, have you got a head for heights? 
但是要注意——throw up还有另外一种意思——那就是呕吐或者恶心！Rob，你有恐高症吗？
I’ve certainly got a head for heights and it doesn’t make me sick being up high. 
我当然有，但是在高处的时候我倒不至于感到恶心想吐。
Well, in that case you are unlikely to throw up from the top of one of these buildings! 
好吧，这样看来你站在那些摩天大楼上应该不太会呕吐了！
Indeed, well, back to the ground level to answer today’s question! Earlier I asked you when St Paul’s Cathedral was finished.Was it in 1508, 1608 or 1708? 
没错，那么让我们回到今天提出的那个问题上来吧！我之前问你的是圣保罗大教堂建成的时间。是1508年，1608年还是1708年？
And I said 1708. 
我说的是1708年。
OK. And you were right. They actually started building it back in 1675. 
不错，你还答对了呢。人们从1675年开始修建它。
Ah yes, not too long after the Great Fire of London in 1666, which is why they had to rebuild it. 
就在1666年发生了伦敦大火之后，因此人们不得不重建伦敦。
