G = Guest
P In this part of the programme, I’m going to talk to David Brown, who’s written a book about English public schools. David, welcome. Why did you choose this topic?
G Well, I didn’t actually go to a public school myself – I went to an ordinary state school – but I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of them, and by their traditions. And I’m sure I’m not the only one. In fact, since I wrote my book, I’ve met lots of other people who share my interest.
P Really? Now, in your book, you describe quite a few of these traditions. For example, the Eton Wall Game is a very old tradition. It dates back to ... when exactly?
G 1766. Yes, it’s a game that is played only at Eton College. It’s a bit like football, but the pitch is very narrow and it’s next to a wall. Each team has to get the ball to the end of the wall. If they do that, they score a goal. But it’s so difficult to score that the last goal was in 1909, more than a hundred years ago!
P Are there any other unusual games played at public schools?
G Well, of course the sport of rugby gets its name from the public school where it was first played: Rugby College. The story is that during a game of ordinary football in 1823, a boy named William Webb Ellis picked up the ball and ran with it – so he invented the sport of ‘rugby football’. That sport is now played all over the world. But the Eton Wall Game isn’t! In fact I think it is still only played at Eton.
P Well, with one goal every hundred years, I’m not surprised.
G And then there’s the Greaze.
P The Greaze?
G Yes, the Greaze – G-R-E-A-Z-E. It’s a game that’s played once a year, on pancake day, at Westminster School. The school cook makes a special pancake with horse hair in it, to make it stronger.
P That sounds disgusting. Horse hair?
G Yes, but they don’t eat it. The cook throws the pancake in the air and the students fight over it for one minute. The student that gets the largest piece of the pancake is the winner and receives a prize – a gold coin. Then the whole school has a half-day holiday.
P Amazing.
G Yes. And in the past, there was another part of the tradition. If the cook didn’t throw the pancake high enough, all the students threw their Latin books at him. But that doesn’t happen now.
P That’s good. Poor cook! Well, it sounds like a fascinating book. David Brown, thank you very much.

P Trong phần này của chương trình, tôi sẽ nói chuyện với David Brown, người đã viết một cuốn sách về các trường công lập ở Anh. Chào mừng David. Tại sao bạn chọn chủ đề này?
G Chà, bản thân tôi không thực sự học trường tư – tôi học ở một trường công lập bình thường – nhưng tôi luôn bị cuốn hút bởi ý tưởng về chúng và bởi truyền thống của chúng. Và tôi chắc chắn rằng tôi không phải là người duy nhất. Trên thực tế, kể từ khi tôi viết cuốn sách của mình, tôi đã gặp rất nhiều người khác có cùng sở thích với tôi.
P Thật sao? Hiện tại thì trong cuốn sách của bạn, bạn mô tả khá nhiều những truyền thống này. Ví dụ, Trò chơi Bức tường Eton là một truyền thống rất lâu đời. Nó có từ... chính xác là khi nào?
G 1766. Đúng vậy, đó là một trò chơi chỉ được chơi ở Đại học Eton. Nó hơi giống bóng đá, nhưng mặt sân rất hẹp và nằm sát tường. Mỗi đội phải đưa bóng đến cuối bức tường. Nếu họ làm được điều đó, họ sẽ ghi bàn. Nhưng thật khó để ghi bàn khi bàn thắng cuối cùng là vào năm 1909, hơn một trăm năm trước!
P Có trò chơi khác thường nào khác được chơi ở các trường tư không?
G Chà, tất nhiên môn thể thao bóng bầu dục lấy tên từ trường tư thục nơi nó được chơi lần đầu tiên: Rugby College. Chuyện kể rằng trong một trận bóng đá thông thường vào năm 1823, một cậu bé tên là William Webb Ellis đã nhặt quả bóng và chạy đi với nó – vì vậy cậu đã phát minh ra môn thể thao “bóng bầu dục”. Môn thể thao đó bây giờ được chơi trên toàn thế giới. Nhưng Trò chơi Bức tường Eton thì không! Trên thực tế, tôi nghĩ nó vẫn chỉ được chơi ở Eton thôi
P Chà, chỉ với 1 bàn thăng sau một trăm năm, thì tôi cũng không ngạc nhiên lắm.
G Và sau đó là Greaze.
P Greeze?
G Vâng, Greaze – G-R-E-A-Z-E. Đó là một trò chơi được chơi mỗi năm một lần, vào ngày bánh kếp, tại Trường Westminster. Đầu bếp của trường làm một chiếc bánh kếp đặc biệt với lông ngựa để khiến nó đậm đà hơn.
P Nghe có vẻ hơi ghê ghê. Lông ngựa sao?
G Đúng vậy, nhưng họ không ăn nó đâu. Người đầu bếp tung chiếc bánh kếp lên không trung và các học sinh tranh giành nó trong một phút. Học sinh nào giành được miếng bánh kếp lớn nhất sẽ là người chiến thắng và nhận được phần thưởng - một đồng tiền vàng. Sau đó toàn trường được nghỉ nửa ngày.
P Thích vậy.
G Đúng thế. Và trong quá khứ, có một phần khác của truyền thống. Nếu người đầu bếp không ném chiếc bánh đủ cao, tất cả học sinh sẽ ném sách tiếng Latinh về phía anh ta. Nhưng bây giờ người ta không làm vậy nữa.
P Thế là tốt. Tội người người đầu bếp! Vâng, và có vẻ như đó là một cuốn sách hấp dẫn đấy. Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều, David Brown.

P So, how did Nellie first get the idea of travelling around the world?
G She read a novel by Jules Verne called Around the World in Eighty Days. Nellie decided to copy the adventure and try to go around the world in fewer than eighty days.
P Eighty days seems like quite a long time.
G Well, the year was 1888 – and of course, in those days, there were no aeroplanes or helicopters. As a result, it took a long time to travel long distances.
P So how did Nellie pay for this adventure?
G The owner of the newspaper, Joseph Pulitzer, agreed to pay for it. It was good publicity. Indeed, another New York newspaper called Cosmopolitan thought it was such a good idea that they sent their own reporter, Elizabeth Bisland, to go around the world too.
P Did the two women travel together?
G No. They both left New York on 14th November 1889. But Nellie went east, across the Atlantic to London. Elizabeth travelled in the opposite direction, west across the United States.

P Vậy, lần đầu tiên Nellie có ý tưởng đi du lịch vòng quanh thế giới như thế nào?
G Cô ấy đã đọc một cuốn tiểu thuyết của Jules Verne có tựa đề Vòng quanh thế giới trong tám mươi ngày. Nellie quyết định làm theo cuộc phiêu lưu đó và cố gắng đi vòng quanh thế giới trong vòng chưa đầy tám mươi ngày.
P Tám mươi ngày có vẻ như là một khoảng thời gian khá dài.
G Chà, đó là năm 1888 – và tất nhiên, vào thời đó, không có máy bay hay trực thăng. Kết quả là, phải mất một thời gian rất lâu để di chuyển một quãng đường dài.
P Vậy Nellie đã chi trả cho cuộc phiêu lưu này như thế nào?
G Chủ nhân của tờ báo, Joseph Pulitzer, đã đồng ý chi trả cho nó. Đó là một hình thức tiếp thị tốt. Thật vậy, một tờ báo khác ở New York tên là Cosmopolitan nghĩ rằng đó là một ý kiến hay nên họ cũng cử phóng viên của mình, Elizabeth Bisland, đi vòng quanh thế giới.
P Hai người phụ nữ có đi cùng nhau không vậy?
G Không. Cả hai đều rời New York vào ngày 14 tháng 11 năm 1889. Nhưng Nellie đã đi về phía đông, băng qua Đại Tây Dương để đến London. Elizabeth đi theo hướng ngược lại, phía tây qua nước Mỹ.
