AUSTRALIA’S OLDEST university campus should be heaving on a sunny autumn afternoon. Before the pandemic, the University of Sydney hosted more than 70,000 students. At lunchtime they would cram into its cafés and crowd onto its lawns. Now its grounds are practically deserted. Although Australia has almost quashed covid-19, social-distancing rules forced the campus to close in March, and only a few stragglers have stayed on amid the historic sandstone and modern plate glass.

在一个阳光明媚的秋日午后,澳大利亚历史最悠久的大学校园内本应是一派人头攒动的景象。疫情发生前,悉尼大学有七万多名学生,午餐时间他们会一窝蜂地涌向学校的餐厅和草坪。而现在,到处都空荡荡的。尽管澳大利亚差不多已经遏制住了新冠肺炎,但在保持社交距离的规定下,悉尼大学不得不在3月关闭,只剩少量散兵游勇穿行在古老的砂岩建筑和现代的玻璃屋之间。
