大学池 < 民国40年代的大学池，池中尚可泛小舟。> This is the university pond, where people were still allowed to go row boating in the 1950's 台湾早期经济命脉依靠来源之一是对森林主副产物的伐采，由於森林区域内主产物之伐采 作业兴盛，伐木处附近较平坦的地区，均被选择设置成大小规模不等之「土场」，作为伐 采後之原木暂时贮存场所。 In the early days the Taiwanese economy relied on forest products. Because the area here the logging industry was booming, the flatter area nearby was chosen to establish a ‘depot’ to store the logs temporarily 「土场」设置的基本要求是：土地要稍平缓，而且有足够空间提供人员与作业机具操作， 同时供作原木的放置。 The essential requirements for a ‘depot’ are a gently sloped area, it needs to have enough space for personnel to operate machines and at the same time provide a place to position the logs. 如果伐木规模较为庞大且作业期间较长者，最好并能够施设足够贮存大量原木的水池。 If the scale of logging increases and the working period increases it’s best to create a pond to store the logs in. 因为伐木作业期长久，某些已砍伐之珍贵树种原木，担心长久在野外阳光下过度曝晒会乾 裂或是遭受野兽虫害腐朽，将有损原木之市场价格，因此，最好的暂时保存方法就是把原 木浸泡在水池里面。 This is because when the turnover time is long, people were worried that the special species of trees would develop pests and would decay when lying in the open area in the sun. The best solution which would preserve the trees and keep the market price high is to immerse the logs into the pond. 台湾大学的「溪头大学池」在日本人统治台湾时期，是东京帝国大学演习林的伐木贮存场 所，但是当时并未唤作大学池。 National Taiwan University’s “Xi-tou University Pond” was the place of University of Tokyo forest which stored logs during the Japanese occupation period, but at that time wasn’t named University Pond yet. 台湾光复後，「溪头大学池」周边逐渐不再有伐木作业，该池也不再作为原木贮存池。 After the Japanese occupation logging in this area gradually decreased and the “Xitou University Pond” was no longer used. 为了增加国人一处优质的休憩与景观场所，台湾大学实验林管理处於是将该原本荒废的原 木贮存池，逐年加以整治，施设池边护岸，整理周遭环境，广植花木美化环境，并在池中 央搭建拱形竹桥，就成了现在闻名全省的溪头大学池与拱桥倒影景观。 In order to increase the amount of people to use this combined landscape and resting place, the National Taiwan University Experimental Forest management performed renovations. Over the years they protected the pond’s shore, reorganized the environment, planted flowers and trees for beautification and built a bamboo ridge. This bridge is the centerpiece of the Xitou University Pond and has become well-known in the area 大家仔细观察这座竹桥，目前它并非只是纯粹以竹子作材料搭建，为了游客行走其上的安 全，後来在桥头两端设立有深埋地下的仿原木形状的高大钢筋混凝土桥柱，配合以两端架 设应力钢索，从上方悬吊，加强它的承载力与安全性。 Everybody looks at this bamboo bridge carefully, which nowadays actually is not only built with bamboo. For the safety of the tourists reinforced concrete pillars, imitating bamboo log shapes, are buried underground and steel suspension wires are supporting the bridge. 以上谈的是横跨大学池面的大型竹拱桥；另外在桥的一端还有一座小型的竹拱桥，它就没 有桥柱钢索拉撑，而且是每年整座换新。 Besides the large bamboo bridge another smaller bamboo bridge is present, which doesn’t have any support like pillars or steel wires. Instead this bridge is completely renewed every year. 大小竹拱桥的桥面，都铺有坚硬耐腐的踏木（材质应该是硬度较高的），方便游客走上拱 桥览景。 Both the bridge decks are paved with wood treated to stop rotting and its ingredients are much harder so the tourist don’t have to worry while walking and watching the scenery. 大学池的主拱桥，长约70余公尺，桥宽约1.5公尺，离池面最高点约6公尺。是台湾少有的 大型人工竹制拱桥。也是台湾中外知名的美丽竹拱桥。 The University Pond’s main bridge is approximately 70 meters long, 1.5 meters wide and about 6 meters above the water. It is an unusual large-scale artificial bamboo bridge and is famous all over Taiwan and China. 基本上都是joost翻的,整个就是超强(用中文字典翻的,我稍作修改~) let's give him a BIG hand!!!! --
