The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together.One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.
伦敦大火于1666年9月2日凌晨时分发生。由于当时旧城区的房屋大多是木质结构，且房屋间空隙很小。长达4天的大火让整个旧城区的四分之三化为灰烬。虽然丧生者寥寥，但无家可归的人却达1000000之众。

The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker(面包师)in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery(面包房)into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.
起初，位于普丁巷的金氏面包店首先失火。店主及家属通过房顶的天窗成功逃生。可是，火借风势，毗邻的小旅馆顷刻间变成火海。然后，火势迅速蔓延到了泰晤士街。然而，这才仅仅是一个开始。

By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.
截止8点，已有300栋房屋着火。星期一，泰晤士河沿岸近一公里区域化为灰烬。大火摧毁了大量举世闻名的建筑物，包括旧圣保罗大教堂和市政厅。

Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.
著名作家萨缪尔．佩皮斯描述了当时的大火。人们争先恐后的把财物扔进河里；很多穷人在最后一刻坚守在自己的房屋旁边。禽鸟被高温*迫的四下飞散。

The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.
After the fire,Christopher Wren,the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow; but he did build more than fifty churches, among them new St Paul's.

最终，国王不得不下令破坏掉火区附近的房屋，才遏制住了火势的蔓延。已经没有可燃物了，终于火势渐弱，并最终熄灭了。火灾以后，著名建筑师克里斯多佛·雷恩建议拓宽街道，并采用石质材料修建房屋。实际上，那些街道依然狭窄不堪，但是他修建了超过50座教堂，包括赫赫有名的圣保罗大教堂。
The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.
无情的大火引造成了数不尽的痛苦和伤害。但是，经过这场大火，伦敦却变得更好了：伦敦不仅是历史古城，而且是一个争取未来的都市。

（最后一句有点不好翻，意思是伦敦不仅有过去，而且拥有将来。我的理解是，正因为大火烧光了旧伦敦，所以人们才竭力建设新伦敦，创造伦敦的未来。所以翻译成了这样。）

伦敦最大的一次火灾发生在1666年9月2日不到的前两小时。在四天内大约毁坏了这座古城的四分之三，那的房子大多是木制的，而且靠的较近。十万人变得无家可归，有些甚至还失去了生命。
火是在周日的早晨普丁巷的一座名为“King's baker”的面包房烧起来的。面包师和他的妻子还有家人是从屋顶的窗户爬出去的。一阵大风将火焰很快的吹进旁边的小旅馆。然后就很快得扩散在泰晤士街道，开始燃烧。
八点的时候有三百间的房子都在燃烧。周一的时候烧到了临近泰晤士河一公里的城市。周二是糟糕的一天。大火毁灭了许多知名的建筑，连古老的圣保罗大教堂也在其中。
萨缪尔．佩皮斯，著名的作家，描写了这次的火灾。人们将他们的东西扔进河里。许多穷人住在他们的房子里直到最后一刻。鸟儿也会因为空气中的热量从上面掉下来。

介里有参考滴东东，LZ可以看看。。

1666年9月2日星期日凌晨1点左右，伦敦市普丁巷（Pudding Lane）有一间面包铺失火。一阵大风将火焰很快吹过几条全是木屋的狭窄街道，然后又进入了泰晤士河北岸的一些仓库里。大火延烧了整个城市，连续烧了4天，包括87间教堂、44家公司以及13000间民房尽被焚毁，欧洲最大城市伦敦大约六分之一的建筑被烧毁。后来起火点普丁巷附近立了一个纪念碑，高61.5公尺，共有311阶，顶端为火焰饰围绕的圆球，是英国天文学家和建筑师克里斯多佛·雷恩（Sir Christopher Wren）所设计，重建的工作由雷恩主导，54间教堂中有51间是他重新设计的，包括著名的圣保罗大教堂.
