| - 拉德克利夫广场(Radcliffe Square)是英格兰牛津市中心的一个广场,周围被牛津大学的历史建筑所环绕。 拉德克利夫广场得名于英国医生约翰·拉德克利夫,牛津毕业,成为国王的医生,留下大笔遗产给大学和他的学院(牛津大学大学学院),在南面的高街。 在广场的中心是圆形的拉德克利夫图书馆(Radcliffe Camera),建于1737–1748年,用约翰·拉德克利夫的遗产支付。它是博德利图书馆的一部分,其主楼位于广场北侧。两馆由一条地下隧道连接,有许多书籍存储在广场地下(能储存60万册)。曾经有一条地下铁路在两馆之间运送书籍。 广场向西是牛津大學布雷齊諾斯學院,牛津大学的古老学院之一。向东是万灵学院,其中只有研究员,并没有本科生,因此主要致力于研究。 在广场的南面是圣母玛利亚大学教堂及其高大的尖顶。它是牛津大学的官方教堂。钟楼向公众收费开放,登塔可欣赏牛津中心区景色。 拉德克利夫广场被广泛认为是牛津最美丽的,很受游客欢迎。这里看不到现代建筑,所以用来拍摄那个时代的电影。

| - Radcliffe Square is a square in central Oxford, England. It is surrounded by historic Oxford University and college buildings. The square is cobbled, laid to grass surrounded by railings in the centre, and is pedestrianised except for access. The square is named after John Radcliffe, a student of the university who became doctor to the King, made a large fortune, and left a significant legacy to the University and his college (University College), which is nearby in the High Street to the south. The centrepiece of the square is the circular and imposing Radcliffe Camera, a library (originally for science) paid for by John Radcliffe's legacy, built 1737–48. This is part of the Bodleian Library, the main building of which is situated immediately to the north of the square. The two are connected by a tunnel and there are many books stored under the square (with space for around 600,000 volumes). These books may be requested by readers. There used to be a small underground railway to transport books between the Radcliffe Camera and the main Bodleian site.To the west is Brasenose College, one of Oxford's older colleges. To the east is All Souls College, which only has fellows and no students, and is thus largely dedicated to research. A good view can be had through the gate leading to the square, since although these are normally locked, they consist of metal railings. The eastern side of the square forms part of Catte Street. At the southern side of the square is the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, with its tall spire. This is the official church of Oxford University and is where the Oxford Martyrs were tried for heresy. A good view of Radcliffe Square and the rest of central Oxford is available from the tower, which is open to the public for a charge. The square is widely regarded as the most beautiful in Oxford, and is very popular with tourists. There are no modern buildings to be seen, so it is also used as a setting for period films (e.g., Young Sherlock Holmes, in which Brasenose featured as Sherlock Holmes' college). The square was also part of the venue for the Brasenose Quincentenary Ball in 2009 which celebrated 500 years of the college. (en)

Torget nås via gatorna Catte Street eller och är idag avstängt för biltrafik. Flera av universitetets mest kända byggnader ligger omkring torget, som är ett känt turistmål i Oxford: All Souls College i öster, University Church of St Mary the Virgin i söder, Brasenose College i väster, samt Divinity School och Bodleian Library, som Radcliffe Camera i mitten av torget utgör en annexbyggnad till, i norr. Då torget helt omges av historiska byggnader och huvudsakligen behållit sitt utseende sedan 1700-talet används det ofta som inspelningsplats för historiska filmer. (sv)
