Although the European atmosphere is evident everywhere on campus and professors from England have called the University of Melbourne a little London, it would not be correct to say that the university has failed to sever its umbilical cord with Britain even after nearly a century and a half.
雖然校園內處處可見歐洲作風，讓來自英國的教授無法不將墨大稱為「小倫敦」，但若因此說接近一個半世紀以來，墨爾本大學與英國的臍帶仍然未斷，卻並不正確。
