1858年,伦敦迎来了城市发展史上著名的“巨臭”之夏,这个异常炎热又干燥的夏季,让泰晤士河上游的河水近乎干涸,更糟糕的是一百多条污水沟不断地向泰晤士河注入污物,部分裸露的淤泥被太阳炙烤后散发出恶臭。当时英国议会正在泰晤士河畔的一座崭新漂亮的哥特式建筑中召开会议,扑鼻而来的臭气使议员们不得不离开紧挨着河边的图书馆和会议室。恶臭打断了议员们讨论的热情,他们甚至考虑把会议迁到河上游的汉普顿宫举行。
In 1858, London ushered in the famous “great odor” summer in the history of urban development. This unusually hot and dry summer made the river upstream of the Thames almost dry. Even worse, more than a hundred sewers were continuously Infiltrate the Thames with dirt. Part of the exposed mud is stenched by the sun. At that time, the British Parliament was meeting in a beautiful new Gothic building on the banks of the River Thames. The stench of nostrils forced lawmakers to leave the library and meeting room next to the river. The stench interrupted the enthusiasm of the lawmakers. They even considered moving the meeting to the Hampton Court on the upper reaches of the river.
