UK日记 开始与结束

Elephants & Bagels, which is situated on Marshall Street, has been a huge favourite with students at nearby Edinburgh University as well as Fringe-goers for many years.

In a short post on Facebook, the cafe’s owners announced they have now ceased trading.

They wrote: “Elephants & Bagels is now permanently closed. We would like to thank you all for your custom over the years”.

Customers past and present reacted to the news, with many saying it will be much missed.

One Facebook user, who used to work there, wrote: “I'm so sorry to read this. You steered it through 25 years though?! That's an amazing achievemen. Working at the Bagel Shop will always be one of the best experiences of my life!”

总之就是，营业25年的大象咖啡馆永久关闭了~

这间咖啡馆是J K罗琳写下《哈利波特》的地方。

小时候，看过《哈利波特》纸质书，我记得封面折页那里写着作者介绍：

罗琳经历了感情痛苦和离婚，在几乎身无分文的情况下写了这本书。那时她会去咖啡店点上一杯咖啡，一坐就是一整天。

那家咖啡店，就是爱丁堡大学附近的大象咖啡馆。曾经罗琳也是爱丁堡大学的一位学生，如今她是知名校友，学校的交际厅里挂着她的照片。

如今我也来到这个城市，寻找魔法世界的影子。

说起来我一次都没去过这家咖啡店，因为它在去年九月份，也就是我来到英国的前几天，经历了一场火灾。从那以后，它就闭店休整了。

今天，它宣布永久关闭。

今天，是我的生日。

今天，是开始和结束的日子。
