British Commonwealth of Nations 英联邦国家
英国早期历史

英国早期人文历史常识(一)英国东邻北海,西、北面对大西洋,南面是英吉利海峡(the English Channel),与法国隔海相望。
地理上,这里被称为“不列颠群岛”(British Isles),由大不列颠岛(Great Britain)和爱尔兰岛(Ireland)这两大岛屿,以及其它几百个小岛组成。
大不列颠岛上分布着英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士(England,Scotland and Wales)三个区域,而爱尔兰岛则分成北爱尔兰和爱尔兰共和国(Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland)两块。
政治上,大不列颠和北爱尔兰共同组成联合王国(the United Kingdom),而爱尔兰共和国则是独立于联合王国而存在的独立的国家。
我们通常所说的英国,则是指联合王国。
联合王国的首都是伦敦(London);而爱尔兰共和国的首都是都柏林(Dublin)。
大不列颠岛在政治上被划分成英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士三个区域,其中英格兰面积最大、人口最多,总的来说也最为富裕。
因此很多人通常会用“英格兰人”(English)指代“不列颠人”(British),这点当然会引起苏格兰人和威尔士人(Scots and Welsh)的不满。
不列颠在大约一百年前曾统治着世界上四分之一的人口和土地,其殖民地遍布全球各大洲。
二战之后,随着不列颠国力衰退,各殖民地纷纷独立,不列颠帝国(the British Empire)在1931年起被英联邦所取代。
英联邦(the Commonwealth of Nations)是由英国和已经独立的前英国殖民地或附属国组成的联合体。
英国作为英联邦元首并无政治实权;各国在一定协议上相互进行政治、主要是经济方面的磋商和合作;各成员国也有权利选择退出英联邦。
(二)英国地势西北高、东南低。
其西北地区主要地形是高原;而东部和东南部则主要是低地,他们是整个欧洲平原(the Great European Plain)的组成部分。

以下我来简要介绍一下英联邦的情况。
英联邦有52个成员国它们是:英国、澳大利亚、印度、巴拿马、赞比亚、瓦努阿图、乌干达、图瓦卢、特立尼达和多巴哥、安提瓜和巴布达、汤加、坦桑尼亚、斯威士兰、南非、斯里兰卡、新加坡、所罗门群岛、塞拉利昂、萨摩亚、圣文森特、塞舌尔、圣卢西亚、圣基茨和尼维斯、卢旺达、巴布亚新几内亚、巴基斯坦、尼日利亚、新西兰、瑙鲁、纳米比亚、莫桑比克、毛里求斯、马耳他、马来西亚、马拉维、莱索托、基里巴斯、肯尼亚、牙买加、圭亚那、格林纳达、孟加拉国、巴巴多斯、伯利兹、博茨瓦纳、文莱、加纳、斐济、多米尼加、塞浦路斯、加拿大,喀麦隆。
英联邦是大英帝国的延续,成员国大多都是英国的前殖民地或保护国。
第一次世界大战之后,英国国力衰退,各殖民地纷纷开展独立运动。
英国为了在世界上发挥影响力,在1926年被迫承认,自治领地在内政外交方面获得独立。
但是自治领地与英国共同终于英国国王,并且组成英联邦双方利益平等,英国无权干涉其他成员国的内政和外交政策。
英国为了维持这52个英联邦成员国,就在金融、教育、贸易、国防、政治、科技、科研、医药、法律、农业等方面与52个英联邦成员国进行合作。
英国向这些国家提供大量的经济援助和科技支持,给英联邦各成员国带来了经济发展利益。
这是英国维持英联邦存在的重要原因。
英国利用英联邦扩大了英国在世界的影响力,因此英联邦对英国非常重要。

Imperial contributions had considerably strengthened the British war effort (more than 200,000 men from the overseas empire died in the war; the dominions and India signed the Versailles Treaty and joined the League of Nations), but at the same time expectations were raised among colonial populations that an increased measure of self-government would be granted.

高中英语 英国简况背景习俗知识大全素材

英国简况第一节“英国〞的名称英国的全称是 the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland(大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国),通常简称为 the United Kingdom(联合王国),缩写为 UK, 有时也用 Britain(不列颠),Great Britain(大不列颠),England(英格兰)等来指代“英国〞。
不列颠或者叫大不列颠(Great Britain)由三个部分组成: England(英格兰),Scotland(苏格兰)和Wales(威尔士);历史上整个爱尔兰均受英国统治,并于1801年完全合并到英国,但后来迫于爱尔兰人民的民族独立斗争,英国政府于1921年底允许爱尔兰南部成立自由联邦,而北部那么划入英国,所以现在英国的正式名称为“大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国〞 (the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland)。
从上面的分析我们可以知道,英格兰(England) 只是英国的一个组成部分,但由于它在英国本土面积最大、人口最多,同时也是全国政治、经济和文化的中心,所以它相对于英国的其他地方来说,地位也最为重要,因此人们在指“英国〞时,往往就用 England 来代替了。
第二节英国的历史公元前,居住在不列颠岛上的主要是克尔特人(Celts)。
大约在公元5世纪到6世纪,住在北欧日德兰半岛、丹麦诸岛以及德国西北沿海一带的盎格鲁(Angles)、撒克逊(Saxons)和朱特(Jutes)等部落集团,渡海进入不列颠,并建立了一批小王国。
后来盎格鲁和撒克逊两个民族慢慢结合成了盎格鲁撒克逊人(Anglo-Saxon),他们经过长期战争,征服并同化了岛上的克尔特人,建立了一批早期的封建王国。
后来这些小王国经过长期的兼并,大约在公元9 世纪初开始形成了统一的英吉利王国。
英国统一初期,政治上仍旧很松散。
